For security reasons and in light of precedents of inverters being disabled remotely, it is recommended not to connect an inverter to the internet and to avoid using the manufacturer's cloud services. | For security reasons and in light of precedents of inverters being disabled remotely, it is recommended not to connect an inverter to the internet and to avoid using the manufacturer's cloud services. | ||
Some Deye solar inverters can be used with [https://solar-assistant.io/ SolarAssistant], a solution that runs on the local network on a RaspberryPi and makes all data and settings available to smart home systems via MQTT. It is neither free nor open source, but supports a wide range of inverters and makes the data available using open standards. Many but not all Deye inverters are supported | Some Deye solar inverters can be used with [https://solar-assistant.io/ SolarAssistant], a solution that runs on the local network on a RaspberryPi and makes all data and settings available to smart home systems via MQTT. It is neither free nor open source, but supports a wide range of inverters and makes the data available using open standards. Many but not all Deye inverters are supported. Unsupported models include the micro inverters affected by the incidents described above. | ||
Alternatively, other brands of inverter which directly offer local APIs without a cloud can be considered. This allows the inverters to be connected to a local smart home system like Home Assistant without going through the manufacturer or even connecting them to the internet. For micro solar installations such as balcony mounted panels with a micro inverter, the [https://emea.apsystems.com/diy/ez1/ APSystems EZ-1] offers a local API out of the box. For bigger installations, companies such as [https://www.fronius.com Fronius] also offer local cloud-free integration. | Alternatively, other brands of inverter which directly offer local APIs without a cloud can be considered.
