How it connects
Franzl uses the Home Assistant custom integration alphaess (installable via HACS). If your device is set up there, Franzl finds it automatically.
Setup
The connection runs through the official AlphaESS cloud (integration alphaess) using your AlphaESS account. Control is time-window based (charge/discharge schedule, limits) rather than a direct power setpoint.
Prerequisites
- AppID and AppSecret from the AlphaESS developer portal
- Your inverter registered in the portal by serial number and check code
