Indevolt battery

hi Rchu57, the flow “limit output ac power” has a minimum of 50W, can you fix this so it can also “0”
in the indevolt app i can set this but with the flow not.
this because i have another brand battery to and sometimes there is a need to set it to 0
the same would be nice for “limit input ac power”

Regards, Sander.

Would be great to have an status indicator on the icon showing more information

Positive value = charging

0 = standby

Negative value = discharging

This way you see at one what the battery is doing

This is already possible. The slider is set to the API specification (50-2400). But the initial value is 0. If you add this flowcard and don’t touch the slider the value is set to 0.

This status indicator is available. But you have to choose which information you want to see on the icon. Would you like a combination of SOC and loading status at the same time or something else?

Yes i’m aware of these status indicators, but i’m currently switching between Laadvermogen en Ontlaadvermogen all the time (depending on the time of the day).

it would be usefull to have a single value for “vermogen”, where positive values the battery is charging with xxx W and negative values means the battery is discharging with xxxw.

a value of 0 would mean the battery is inactive

so: vermogen = Laadvermogen - Ontlaadvermogen

New version in Test: Indevolt Thuisbatterij | Homey

Added new driver for Solidflex AC 3000

Added “Current Power” as capability for all drivers. If you update the app this capability is available, no need to reinstall the device. Please test and let me now if it’s ok.

Installed test version 1.7 1 and the new current power works fine, just what I needed. Thanks!

Great, thanks for testing.

New version (1.7.1) now in production

Thnjx for thus great app.

I have a indevolt 3000 hybride.

Is reads out all the data. But when i make a flow the app is not chaning the parameters of the in de volt.

for example. I made a flow when its 12.00am and the soc is < 50 the set load to 3000w and soc to 50 and make a notification. The notification works. But the sox stays on 20%. What do i do wrong?

os. The working mode is ai

You need to set the working mode to “Realtime control” to be able to manually (with flows) set the charge/discharge rate. In “AI” or “Self-consumption prioritized” mode the battery will decide for itself what to do and ignore your ‘realtime’ commands.

What you can do in all modes is set thee maximum output power. With this paramater you increase or decrease the maximum output power. Keep in mind to stay within the safety regulations (in Netherlands only >800W if the battery is on a seperate 16A (or more) group)

Thnxk for the quixk response!

Im going to try that.

Ps. My battery has his own group so maximum power :smiling_face:

New version in production: v1.8.2

On request: added a flowcard to turn the light on or off

Are there no people on this forum who use the backup/emergency power capabilities of their battery? I have equipped a part of my home with an ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch). This allows me to continue powering a few low-draw devices (LED lights, modem/router, etc.) using emergency power if the mains supply fails. However, I couldn’t find a way to determine whether the battery is supplying power from the grid or via emergency mode; there is no “flow” card for this in the app(?). I therefore build a flow/script for Homey that monitors this status and sends a notification to my phone when the system switches to emergency power, and again when the grid connection is restored. If anyone is interested, I have attached them (in Dutch) to this post.

If there is a simpler way to do this, I would love to hear about it!

Hi!

I’ve been trying to get an answer of Indevolt about smartmeter facts. I wish to know if a smartmeter is required (getting reading of in/out power) to get the batterypack running? They did not developed the Modbus connection yet and they say indevolt compatible smartmeter instalment is required and talk about P1 meter which is not available in Spain. I have eastron meters with modbus and I cannot and will not use the indevolt smartmeter. Is your app capable of handling the system without the readings but WITH the eastron data?

Thanks, Phil

Your question is equal to what I want to prevent, the struggle with a lack on exchange of data from the indevolt as they use their smartmeter compatible and did not integratie modbus functionality (yet).

I asked Indevolt, as I refuse to exchange my eastron meters with a non implementable indevolt meter, when they will implement modbus data and eastron compatability, as this is a commonly known and accepted industry-standard. Sadly and for me a red flag purchasing 2 indevolt systems, they said:

Uw verzoek is doorgegeven aan onze technische afdeling, maar zij kunnen hierover geen enkele toezegging doen. Hierbij hun reactie:
Op dit moment ligt de prioriteit bij het adapteren van onze eigen Indevolt-meters. De integratie van externe RS485-meters moet nog verder worden geëvalueerd.

If you don’t mind Dutch, take a look here. I use this app on my Homey to connect and manage all my smart energy devices—such as solar panels, home batteries, dishwashers and electric vehicles—optimizing their control for maximum returns or self-consumption.

Major 2.0.1 update!

Unified smart auto-discovery driver supporting all Indevolt Home Batteries (PowerFlex, SolidFlex, BK1600) with full backwards compatibility for existing 1.x devices and Flows.

Added comprehensive monitoring (Smart Meter, Bypass Power/Energy, Grid Voltage/Frequency, Battery SOH, Cycles, Remaining Time, Heater Status, System Operating Status, Fault Status, Slave Battery Pack Temperatures) and full UI sliders & Flow Triggers, Conditions, and Actions (Real-time Control State/Power/Target SOC sliders, Feed-in Limit, Backup SOC, Forced AC Charge Power, Grid Charging, Bypass Socket, Load Mode, Deep Sleep Schedule, Forced Full Charge Schedule, External P1 Meter & Smart Plug Power Push, Simulated Load Slots, and Raw cJSON commands).

Backwards compatible but if you want to use all capabilities you have to reinstall your batterie(s) with de new device driver. Also means recreating all of your flows.

Looking for testers… please let me know what you think. It will take a while for publishing to production.
