It has 4.6k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud. Growatt is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to Growatt solar plants through the vendor's cloud. It reads data from the selected plant as sensors, including output power, energy today, lifetime energy output and AC frequency. Number entities cover battery charge and discharge power limits and state of charge limits, and a switch controls charging from the grid. Actions read and write AC charge and discharge time periods on SPH devices, and read or update time segments on supported inverters. Sign-in works with a username, password and server region, or with an API token, and it is set up in the UI. New devices are added automatically and devices that are gone are removed.
