GivHome live dashboard
Local GivEnergy control
Normal monitoring and control travel directly between your iPhone or iPad and compatible GivEnergy equipment over your home network — no GivEnergy cloud account required.
Live telemetry
Battery state, solar output, grid import, and home demand — pulled directly from the inverter, continuously updated.
Verified commands
Charge, export, Battery Pause, Eco and schedules on supported systems. GivHome checks the inverter, makes the change, then reads it back to confirm what really happened.
What GivHome unlocks

Designed for GivEnergy owners who want direct access to the useful controls.

GivHome focuses on the things GivEnergy owners actually reach for: clear live energy data, supported charge and export schedules, Battery Pause, Eco, Manual Charge, Manual Export and Intelligent Octopus Go Smart Window timing.

Schedules
Create and inspect supported charge and export schedules. GivHome reads settings back from the inverter so the app reports verified state, not just a hopeful button press.
Battery Pause
Pause charging, discharging or both where your hardware supports it. Unsupported controls stay hidden so the app remains calm and installation-specific.
Smart Windows
For Intelligent Octopus Go customers, GivHome can show the next Smart Window and the time remaining in the current cheap slot when configured.
Local verification
Commands are sent over your home Wi‑Fi and checked against inverter readback before GivHome reports success.
Dashboard

Monitor your GivEnergy system on iPhone.

See solar generation, battery state, home demand, grid import or export, and configured Intelligent Octopus Go Smart Window status in one native iOS dashboard. GivHome reads supported data directly from your inverter over the local network.

Commands

Control your GivEnergy battery with confidence.

Use Manual Charge, Manual Export, charge and export schedules, Battery Pause and Eco where supported by your hardware. GivHome checks the inverter before a change, sends the command locally, then reads the result back before reporting success.

Temporary commands preserve the inverter settings GivHome needs to borrow and restore them afterwards. Cancel when you need to; the app verifies the inverter rather than assuming success.

Intelligent Octopus Go

Know the next Smart Window — and the time left in this one.

When you configure Intelligent Octopus Go, GivHome can show upcoming Smart Windows and the time remaining in a live cheap slot on your dashboard, helping you decide when to charge, pause or run higher-demand devices.

GivEnergy cloud account not required for local control.

GivHome was built local-first. Normal inverter monitoring, supported schedules, Battery Pause and verified controls travel directly over your home network instead of depending on the GivEnergy cloud. Optional services such as Intelligent Octopus Go use their own provider connection when you choose to configure them.
