October 2026 Update

Overview

This release improves EM.setup with:

• clearer feedback when installing devices
• better stop-button behaviour
• full email addresses in the help section
• the same faulty-device count in every view

It also adds device and energy management features, including:

• new EEBUS heat pump connections
• several communication and performance fixes

New features & improvements

Energy management & batteries

• Block charge/discharge timeout: If meter values stop arriving, battery control is now released after 61 seconds instead of 20. Short meter data dropouts no longer interrupt battery control.
• Modbus TCP: A failed connection now fails at once instead of being retried 5 times. This stops unexpected polling delays and overloading during communication problems.

Device integrations

• SOLARWATT Battery vision clusterbox 1.0 (new): Shows total energy data for the connected inverters, batteries and meters. Limitations:
  • Inverter curtailment is not supported, or only partly supported.
  • Rated power is fixed at 10 kW because a Modbus register is missing.
• EEBUS "Monitored Unit": EEBUS devices that support the MPC use case can now be installed as a "Monitored Unit", even if they can't be identified as a heat pump or EV charger. These units exist only on the local device and are not sent to the cloud.

EM.setup usability

• A success message now appears after a device is added manually.
• The "Stop automatic search" button is disabled after the first click, so it's clear the stop was triggered.

Bug fixes

• Shelly Smart Switches (including Shelly Plug S Gen 3) can no longer be used in place of an inverter.
• SMA inverters no longer appear twice in the plug-and-play device list. Only the new binding detects them now.
• Faulty-device count is now the same and correct in every view.
