New Version 3.2 available

All your solar equipment in a single environment.

TED is a HEMS: it measures your grid connection and shares charging and discharging between all your inverters and batteries, whatever their brand.

Why TED

Several batteries, no coordination? TED makes them work together.

Each manufacturer app manages its own devices. TED takes a step back and orchestrates your whole installation.

Each device works on its own

With TED: one setpoint, smartly shared between all your inverters according to each battery's level and capacity.

The manufacturer HEMS holds you back

With TED: no software cap on the number of devices or on the power controlled. You set your own limits, and you can mix brands and models.

Surplus exported, imports at the wrong time

With TED: grid power is continuously regulated around your target. Surplus goes into the batteries; the house draws on them when needed.

How it works

Monitor, analyse, decide, control. In a loop, every few seconds.

TED sits next to your existing equipment. It reads your meter, then sends its setpoints to your inverters through Home Assistant.

  1. 01 · Monitor

    Grid measurement

    Your meter continuously reports what the house imports or exports, read through Home Assistant (or directly by IP for a Shelly).

  2. 02 · Analyse

    State of each battery

    State of charge, power, availability: TED smooths the measurement to ignore short spikes.

  3. 03 · Decide

    The right mode, the right power

    Charge, discharge or standby: the setpoint is computed to reach your target without exceeding your limits.

  4. 04 · Control

    Sharing between inverters

    Power is split according to capacity, favouring the most relevant battery, then sent through Home Assistant.

Control modes

A mode for every installation

Keep your manufacturer HEMS or let TED take over: you choose the level of control.

Assisted mode

Keep your original HEMS

TED follows the "monitored" inverters run by the manufacturer app and adds the power of your other inverters as reinforcement.

  • Ideal to extend an existing installation
  • Immediate response, no validation delay
Scheduled charging

You choose when to charge

Schedule weekly grid-charging slots, for example during off-peak hours in winter.

  • Calendar by day and by hour
  • Safe standby the rest of the time if nothing is useful

Features

Everything a multi-battery installation needs

Designed and proven every day on a real installation with several inverters.

Unlimited inverters

Add as many inverters and batteries as you need: no software cap.

Smart sharing

When discharging, the fullest batteries go first; when charging, the emptiest. Power follows each inverter's capacity.

Protected batteries

Minimum and maximum charge levels per inverter, maximum power for charging and discharging.

Automatic safeguards

Self-calibration, setpoint not applied, lost communication: the device is set aside, then retested automatically.

Surplus automations

Switch on a water heater, a plug, a Home Assistant scene or script, or call a webhook, with AND / OR rules.

Dashboard and history

Real-time view, daily charts, notifications on your own rules, error log and settings history.

Live settings

Every parameter is changed from the web interface and applies immediately, without a restart.

Monitored inverters

Include read-only devices too: TED takes the whole installation into account without ever sending them a command.

Open to integrators

REST API, configuration export and import, scriptable Docker installation to deploy for several customers.

Language: TED's own interface is currently in French (your browser's translation works well with it). An English interface is on the roadmap: vote for it to speed it up.

Compatibility

Does it work with your installation?

TED plugs into the ecosystem you already use.

Installation

Install TED wherever suits you

The same TED, three ways to install it on an always-on machine: directly in Home Assistant OS, or with Docker on a NAS, mini-PC or Linux server.

Synology / NAS

A script prepares the folders and the Docker network, then starts TED. Recommended for 24/7 control.

Trust

At home, and fully transparent

TED controls your installation from your own machine. Here is exactly what leaves it.

Your measurements stay at home

TED runs on your NAS, your mini-PC or in Home Assistant OS, and talks to Home Assistant on your local network. No measurement from your installation is sent anywhere.

A single mandatory connection

Once a day, TED validates its license with ted-energy.fr (license and installation identifiers, version). The full details are public.

Frequently asked questions

Before you start

What exactly is TED?

TED is a HEMS (home energy management system) that runs at home, on your own server (NAS, mini-PC, Linux server) or directly in Home Assistant OS. Connected to Home Assistant, it continuously measures what your home imports from or exports to the grid, then adjusts charging and discharging of all your inverters and batteries so they work together, like one big battery.

Does TED replace my battery's app (manufacturer HEMS)?

Your choice. In assisted mode, your original HEMS (for example the Zendure app) keeps control of its devices and TED adds the power of your other inverters as reinforcement. In autonomous mode, TED regulates the whole installation on its own, independently of manufacturers.

Which hardware is compatible?

Any inverter or battery that shows up in Home Assistant through its integration (Zendure, Huawei, SMA, Victron, Anker SOLIX, Deye…). Zendure devices are fully tested and validated. The grid measurement comes from your meter, read in Home Assistant or through a Shelly. Details are on the Compatibility page.

Can I mix several battery and inverter brands?

Yes, that is what TED is for: every inverter and battery visible in Home Assistant, whatever its brand, receives one shared setpoint, split according to its capacity and state of charge. See how to run several brands together, and the other problems solved on the Solutions page.

Do I need Docker to use TED?

Not with Home Assistant OS: TED installs as an app on the same machine as Home Assistant (Home Assistant OS guide). Otherwise, TED comes as a Docker image, to install on an always-on local server: Synology NAS, mini-PC or Linux server. To discover it without installing anything, open the live demo. Everything is explained in the installation guide.

Is TED free?

TED is free until further notice. Your license is generated as soon as you submit the form and downloads immediately, with no credit card. If you wish, you can support development with a donation, as explained on the Pricing page, with no obligation.

Is it safe for my batteries?

TED respects the minimum and maximum charge levels and the maximum power you set for each inverter. A device that does not respond correctly (self-calibration, setpoint not applied, lost communication) is automatically set aside, then retested. You remain responsible for your electrical installation: start with cautious limits.
