Has anyone integrated GivEnergy equipment in to Home Assistant?
I have a friend that uses Home Assistant installed on a Raspberry pi to monitor and control all elements of a mixed solar/battery/EV installation. It seems like a great way to have a overview but also seems suitable to provide additional control.
Yes, lots of us have.
If you’re a beginner to all this, the videos by Speak to the Geek (YouTube channel) are a good place to start.

100% yes…
I have 2 solar arrays… 1 Givenergy + Batteries, and the other an older Solis installation… Home assistant monitors it all.
My Givenergy stuff was only installed 4 weeks ago and I have 2 x 9KW batteries installed on the outside of the house… what was really simple to do was setup an automation that monitors the temperature of the batteries and if it gets 2 cold I installed heating pipes below them that turn on.
Home automation is the way forward - and also the information you get in 1 dashboard is awesome !!!
