Four ways to integrate Conow into your smart home — whether you run Home Assistant on the cloud, prefer full local control over Modbus, want your AI Agent to understand your energy, or run Home Assistant fully locally.
Integration Modes
Four open-source integrations — use one, or combine them all.
Connect via Tuya cloud. Push updates, energy dashboard entities, and full device control — zero local wiring required.
Standard Modbus RTU over RS-485. No cloud, no account, no internet. Your data stays on your network — works offline.
Ask your AI about energy in plain language. "How much solar today?" "When is electricity cheapest?" One API key, any agent.
Run Home Assistant on your own hardware and talk to your Conow battery over local Modbus — RTU via USB or TCP through an RS-485 Ethernet adapter.
All three are open source, MIT licensed, and work independently or together.
