Smart Battery Pilot documentation¶
Smart Battery Pilot is a Home Assistant integration that plans your home battery a day ahead. It charges when electricity is cheap and uses the stored energy when it is expensive, based on dynamic prices, your household consumption and the PV forecast.
| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Every setup step and option, going live, troubleshooting and the dashboard card. |
| How the optimizer works | The planning algorithm, what export and curtailed PV are worth, and how the savings are estimated. |
| EV charging, evcc and other controllers | Keeping a wallbox out of the consumption forecast, sharing the battery with evcc, planned EV sessions and the grid import limit. |
| Energy-system reference | A worked example of the signals the pilot needs and where they come from, for a BYD battery behind a Fronius Gen24. |
| Examples | Ready-to-use control scripts for specific battery and inverter combinations. |
Installation through HACS and an overview of the entities are in the README; the project website shows how the plan looks through the seasons.
