switch | Switch or outlet | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |

| GivEnergy inverter | Works | Integrated via GivTCP or GivEnergy LocalSaved copyHad a GivEnergy inverter installed last year, I've since integrated it into HA (via GivTCP - there's also GivEnergy Local). Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2024-03 |

Devices listed in its README
- Hybrid single-phase (Gen 1)
- AC-coupled (Gen 1)
- All-in-One (AIO), including per-module battery devices with per-cell data; needs v1.2.0 or later
- EMS controller, validated on a live two-inverter EMS plant; some polling rough edges on busy shared buses are still being smoothed out in the library
- Hybrid three-phase, per-phase electricals, HV stacks with per-cell BMU data
- HV battery stacks (BCU/BMU), decoded per module, at their own device addresses
- Hybrid single-phase Gen 2, modelled, but no Gen 2 unit has ever been observed; a field report from an EA-prefix serial would settle its detection code
- Polar, AIO Commercial, EMS Commercial, and 3-phase AC, model codes known, decode unverified against real hardware
In ReReHome
Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.
