Energy Smart Appliances
This is a curated list of the main types / makes /models of energy smart appliances supported by the PowerShaper system and how they are integrated.
Shelly (Local via MQTT or Home Assistant)
Shelly manufacturer a wide range of affordable and certified wifi connected relays and sensors based on ESP SoC which are known for their open and well documented local HTTP / MQTT API.
EV chargers
openEVSE / emonEVSE (Local via MQTT)
The openEVSE (US) / emonEVSE (UK) is an open source / hardware type 2 / level 2 EV charger . The emonEVSE is manufactured in the UK by Megni. It has an open and well documented local HTTP/MQTT API.
OCPP
OCPP is a standardised protocol for communication/control of EV charging equipment in a client-server topology. There is a wide range of open source implementations of both the client and server side of the protocol.
A list of chargers supporting OCPP:
OpenEVSE/emonEVSE (note this is in addition to above)
Wallbox Pulsar Plus
Solar inverters
Sunspec compatible
Sunspec is a standard based on Modbus(TCP) which is available in a large range of modern solar inverters from major manufacturers like SolarEdge, Fronius, SMA, and Huawei. The specific implementation and capabilities differs greatly between manufacturers. In some cases Sunspec has to be unlocked or enabled for it to work.
Fronius (Local via HA)
Some Fronius inverters provide a local API which is supported by a Home Assistant core integration.
SolarEdge (Cloud via HA)
SolarEdge provide a cloud API which has a core integration in Home Assistant.
Battery systems
Victron
Victron provide both a local and cloud API for their GX enabled systems. This offers a large range of data as well as control, particuarly when operating in ESS mode.
Tesla Powerwall (Cloud via HA)
A limited Tesla Powerwall integration is available in HA which pulls some data about batteries from a cloud API.
