monitoringConnect vs Sunplug

MonitoringConnect gives you a straightforward way to monitor your solar inverter system from your phone. No clunky web portals, no endless loading screens — just your power data, presented clearly. See your live power flow at a glance: solar generation, battery charge state, grid import/export, and home consumption all laid out in an intuitive animated diagram. Check daily energy totals to understand where your power is going. Manage inverter settings like charge schedules, SOC limits, and feed-in power directly from your phone. Supports Lux Power compatible inverters including hybrid, 12K, and parallel configurations. Connect multiple plants and switch between inverters seamlessly. Your plant and inverter data is cached locally so the app loads instantly — no waiting around every time you open it. Built by solar owners, for solar owners. MonitoringConnect takes the publicly available manufacturer API and wraps it in an interface that actually respects your time. Features: - Live animated power flow diagram ** - Battery state of charge and charge/discharge status - Daily energy summary (solar, consumption, grid import/export) - Inverter settings management (charge schedules, SOC limits, power rates) - Multi-plant and multi-inverter support - Parallel inverter configurations - Dark mode - Fast startup with local data caching - Pull-to-refresh and on-demand inverter data refresh ** We pull data from the manufacturer as fast as we can.

Charge your electric car with the solar power your home already produces, and buy the rest from the grid in the cheapest hours. Sunplug watches solar, home, grid and battery flows, then adjusts compatible cars and smart chargers to use the surplus without chasing every passing cloud. Set a ready-by time and let Sunplug decide: it plans each car's charge on your solar surplus first, then on the cheapest hours of your tariff. • See live energy moving around your home • See the grid price for the hours ahead, with live market prices across most of Europe • A solar forecast for your home, with your past production and the planned charges, all in one place • Any tariff: base, peak and off-peak with seasons and weekends, market prices or Tempo • Set a ready-by time, a grid level and a price cap for each car • Prioritise your home battery or your cars • Keep charging calm through changing weather • Review what charging cost you, where its energy came from and what it saved • Choose the notifications you want, based on your tariff Sunplug works with selected inverters, batteries, cars and smart chargers. Compatibility depends on your equipment and region. Some setups use the lightweight Sunplug Agent on your home network, so equipment credentials stay at home. Sunplug is currently in beta. You need a Sunplug account and compatible equipment.
