SunEnergyXT (previously Sunlit Solar) battery integration for HomeAssistant
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) |
How it connects
Cloud polling
Goes through the maker’s cloud, asking it for updates every so often. Needs the internet and an account.

- Bonjour (zeroconf)

Limitations from the README
- New devices need a restart: New devices added to your account after setup require a HomeAssistant restart to appear (zeroconf only triggers initial onboarding)
- No Historical Data: The integration does not backfill history from before it was installed
- API Rate Limits: The 30-second update interval is fixed to avoid API rate limiting
- Cloud-polling: Control and telemetry go through the cloud API. A direct local-TCP channel is documented in docs/local-protocol.md but not yet implemented
- Limited control: Only battery local mode is exposed as a control today (more planned)
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.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
