|
|
|
A home battery allows homes to store energy when you are either producing more solar power than you're using, or store energy from the grid if the current price is low.
|
|
|
|
Home Assistant allows you to track how much energy flows from/to your battery.
|
|
|
|
## Hardware
|
|
|
|
Home Assistant will need to know the amount of energy flowing from/to your batteries. This data can be tracked in various ways.
|
|
|
|
### Provided by the battery
|
|
|
|
Some battery vendors have an API to integrate the data into your Home Assistant instance. An example is [Tesla Powerwall](/integrations/powerwall/).
|
|
|
|
### Using a CT clamp sensor
