Anything in Home Assistant
The entities the integrations already expose are enough: state of charge, power, charge or discharge setpoint. No extra hardware.
Multi-brand installation
Several battery and inverter brands, one control loop
You added a second battery from another brand, and each app lives in its own bubble. TED brings every inverter and battery visible in Home Assistant under a single setpoint.
Sounds familiar?
- Two (or more) apps to manage your batteries, and they do not talk to each other.
- One battery drains while the other stays full.
- You hesitate to buy a battery from another brand in case it will not fit in.
- Your first brand's HEMS refuses to include the new device.
Why it is hard
Each manufacturer designs its HEMS (the "brain" that decides when to charge and discharge) for its own devices. It knows nothing about the other battery in your consumer unit: not its power, not its state of charge.
The result: two systems reading the same meter and each making its own decisions. At best they share the work badly, at worst they work against each other.
Home Assistant sees all your devices through each brand's integration. But on its own it cannot split a setpoint between them: you would have to write and maintain complex automations.
The solution
The features involved
One setpoint, smartly shared
The power to deliver or absorb is split according to capacity, discharging the fullest batteries first and charging the emptiest first.
No software cap
Add as many inverters and batteries as you need, from any brand, with no per-device license (ACCESS and FULL POWER licenses; the FREE license controls 2).
Monitored devices
A device you cannot (or do not want to) control is included read-only: it is taken into account without ever receiving a command.
Getting it running
- 1
Bring each device into Home Assistant
Install each brand's integration (Zendure, Anker SOLIX, Huawei Solar, Victron…) and check that state of charge and power values show up.
- 2
Install the software
As an app on Home Assistant OS, or with Docker on a NAS or mini-PC.
- 3
Add your inverters
For each one, pick its entities and its type: controlled or monitored. Test communication, then apply.
- 4
Set your limits
Maximum charge and discharge power, minimum and maximum battery levels: they are enforced for every device.

Frequently asked questions
Which brands can I mix?
Any brand whose Home Assistant integration exposes state of charge, power values and a controllable setpoint. Zendure is tested and validated on our installations; Huawei, SMA, Victron, Deye, Anker SOLIX and others are compatible through their integration. Details are on the Compatibility page.
Do I have to remove each manufacturer's app?
No. In assisted mode, one brand's HEMS can keep control of its own devices while the others come in as reinforcement. In autonomous mode, the whole installation is regulated as one.
My batteries have different capacities, is that a problem?
No: power is split according to each battery's capacity and level, within the maximum power you set for each inverter.
Other problems solved
Go beyond the limits of your manufacturer's HEMS
One brand, few settings, a limited number of devices: go beyond these limits, with or without the original HEMS.
Read the solutionMultiple batteries oscillating or passing energy back and forth
Each battery corrects the meter on its own and fights the other. One setpoint, computed for all of them, ends the ping-pong.

Surplus exported at noon, imports in the evening: keep the grid close to 0 W, continuously.
