A Home Assistant custom integration to monitor and control Indevolt devices.

Prerequisites

• Home Assistant has been installed according to the official installation guide.
• The Indevolt device and Home Assistant server are on the same local network.
• The Indevolt device is powered on and has obtained an IP address.
  • Query via router’s management list;
  • Check in INDEVOLT App device settings;
• Ensure that the Indevolt device API function is enabled. This integration only supports OpenData HTTP mode.

• Confirm the firmware version meets the minimum requirement.

  Model	Minimum Firmware Version
  BK1600/BK1600Ultra	V1.3.0A_R006.072_M4848_00000039
  SolidFlex2000/PowerFlex2000	CMS: V1406.07.002E

Step 1: Download the indevolt integration folder

1. Click Code > Download ZIP.
2. Unzip the ZIP file to your computer.

Step 2: Locate the HA configuration directory path

• Home Assistant OS: The configuration directory is located in /config.
• Home Assistant Container: You can access the configuration directory by locating the configuration.yaml file.

Tip: The directory should contain a configuration.yaml file.

config directory/
└── configuration.yaml

Step 3: Create a custom integration directory

1. Enter the config directory.
2. Create the custom_components directory if it does not exist.

config directory/
├── custom_components/
└── configuration.yaml

Note: All custom integrations must be placed under custom_components, otherwise HA will not be able to recognize them.

Step 4: Add the integration file

1. Create the indevolt directory in the config directory.
2. Copy all files from the unzipped folder (except README.md) into the indevolt directory.

Once installed correctly, your configuration directory should look like this:

config directory/
└── custom_components/
    └── indevolt/
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── config_flow.py
        ├── const.py
        ├── coordinator.py
        ├── entity.py
        ├── indevolt_api.py
        ├── manifest.json
        ├── number.py
        ├── select.py
        ├── sensor.py
        ├── service.yaml
        ├── switch.py

Step 5: Restart Home Assistant

1. Select Settings > System in the web interface.
2. Click the restart icon in the upper right corner.
3. Click Restart Home Assistant.
4. Click RESTART.

Step 6: Add integration to Home Assistant

1. After restarting, enter the web interface and select Settings > Devices & services.

2. Click +ADD INTEGRATION in the lower right corner.
   

3. Search for integration INDEVOLT.
   

4. Configuration parameters:

   • host: Device IP address, which can be obtained by checking the router/app.

   • scan_interval: Used to control the frequency of data updates, default is 30 seconds.

     

5. Click SUBMIT to finish the installation.

6. The power module and battery packs will be displayed after installation. Click Skip and Finish to complete the setup process.

   • Each power module supports up to 5 battery packs.
   • If no battery pack is connected, the corresponding field will be shown as None.
   • When battery packs are connected, the serial number (SN) of each battery pack will be displayed for identification.
