# ZinVolt app by ZinVolt - main discussion topic Main discussion topic to centralize all Questions, Answers and Information around the ZinVolt app for the ZinVolt smart home batteries ([www.zinvolt.com](https://www.zinvolt.com/)). ![ZinVolt](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/2/c21d7c87ac78b655bd99fc40ce372f708df03b32.jpeg) ZinVolt develops smart and user-friendly home batteries that help you get more out of your own energy. By storing solar energy and using it smartly whenever you want, you lower your energy costs and increase your independence from the grid. Thanks to the connection with Homey, you can easily control your battery based on consumption, dynamic energy rates and automations. ![large](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/0/20233a467022064ad7d3043bac6f7132a4408946.png) # Note: If you have issues or feature requests with this app, please report it to [homey@zinvolt.com](mailto:homey@zinvolt.com), mentioning the version of the app + a good description of the issue. ## Links and information: - [ZinVolt app](https://homey.app/a/com.zinvolt/) # Supported devices | Device | Name | Max. charge / output power | Remarks | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | | | | ![small](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/2/d2cc20347a05c34f01aa40b8f82d11bbcad5b296.png) | **ZinVolt Base** | 2000 W | | | | | | | | ![small](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/5/a5aeebba2db210a2d4dd2df6e931848b04a25f67.png) | **ZinVolt Power** | 2000 W | Solar input power, _Connected solar panels_ mode | | | | | | | ![small](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/e/1e40171abc9f7a092976085f1ddb63b53bd7112d.png) | **ZinVolt Core** | 3600 W | | The output power is limited to 800 W until it is unlocked by ZinVolt, once the battery is properly connected. In the app store a list of supported devices is shown with picture and description in the ‘Supported devices’ list. This list is generated by the actual content of the app. ## Features - **Homey Energy:** the batteries are added as home battery, showing the battery level, charge / discharge power and charging state. - **Homey control:** set a target power from Homey (positive = charging, negative = discharging, 0 W = inactive), e.g. based on dynamic energy prices. - **Battery modes:** _Homey controlled_, _Inactive_, _Self-consumption_ and _Dynamic (beta)_. - **Status:** charged and remaining capacity, number of connected batteries, grid, online and dormancy state and available updates. - **Settings:** maximum charge and output power, minimum charge level, standby mode and standby time. - **Repair:** sign in again from the device menu (_Repair_) when your ZinVolt credentials have changed. ## Getting started 1. Install the [ZinVolt app](https://homey.app/a/com.zinvolt/). 2. Add a device, select the type of your ZinVolt battery and sign in with your ZinVolt account (the same as in the ZinVolt app). 3.
