Configuration

To add the Homevolt device to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Homevolt can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant. If an instance was found, it will be shown as Discovered. You can then set it up right away.

Manual configuration steps

If it wasn’t discovered automatically, don’t worry! You can set up a manual integration entry:

  • Browse to your Home Assistant instance.

  • Go to Settings > Devices & services.

  • In the bottom right corner, select the Add Integration button.

  • From the list, select Homevolt.

  • Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.

API access must be explicitly enabled on the Homevolt device; contact Tibber Customer Support to activate the API. Configuration needs the device IP address and, if set on the device, a password.

Host
