Switch to Tibber!

Are you still customer of (IMHO totally overpriced) SENEC.Cloud as electricity provider? Be smart switch to Tibber - that's what I did in october 2023.

If you want to join Tibber (become a customer), you might want to use my personal invitation link. When you use this link, Tibber will we grant you and me a bonus of 50,-€ for each of us. This bonus then can be used in the Tibber store (not for your power bill) - e.g. to buy a Tibber Bridge. If you are already a Tibber customer and have not used an invitation link yet, you can also enter one afterward in the Tibber App.

Please consider using my personal Tibber invitation link to join Tibber today or Enter the following code: 6o0kqvzf (six, oscar, zero, kilo, quebec, victor, zulu, foxtrot) afterward in the Tibber App - TIA!

Functional Overview

Supported Devices

The following devices are currently supported:

Device Description
SENEC.HOME V2.x You can use the features and sensors provided by your device via the local polling (via lala.cgi) and the Web API (via mein-senec.de)
SENEC.HOME V3 You can use the features and sensors provided by your device via the local polling (via lala.cgi) and the Web API (via mein-senec.de)
SENEC.HOME V4 Since the device does not provide local access via a build in webserver, you can just use the features and sensors provided via the Web API (via mein-senec.de).
SENEC.Inverter V3 When you have connected the internal inverter(s) with your LAN, you will be able to access information via the Local API. Please see: "Connecting the internal (build in) SENEC Inverter Hardware to your LAN and use it in HA" for further information.

Local Polling

The following features and sensors are provided by polling the build in webserver of your SENEC device: Since this is a long list, not everything is enabled by default.

To enable a disabled function or sensor navigate to Settings -> Devices and Services, select the integration and click "configuration" of the device. In the list you can see the status and have also the option to enable/disable them.

Wallbox Control

Without this integration owners of a SENEC wallbox, must use the SENEC mobile app in order to control the wallbox device. This 'remote-control-functionality' implies, that it takes a certain amount of time till a change in the mobile app will be synced with your local device. I was not aware of this 'delay'-situation (since I do not have a wallbox installed - and probably I will not get one from SENEC). At the end of December (2023) I was contacted by Sigurd L. and was asked, if it would be possible to support wallbox control with this SENEC.Home Integration.

The challenge for the integration is, that on the one hand it has to be ensured that the appropriate values in the local SENEC device will be set and make sure on the other hand that at the same time, that also the corresponding adjustments will be done in the SENEC Backend infrastructure (where the mobile app going to make the adjustments). And of course all that have to be done without any documentation and a really wired mix of parameter names - so please use this functionality on your own risk!.

When the Integration would adjust the wallbox setting in the local SENEC device only, then these changes will be reverted/overwritten after a short while with the data provided by the central SENEC backend. So this Home Assistant integration will set values in your local SENEC device as well as via the APP-API (web based) simultaneously - so that the central SENEC backend and your local SENEC device are in sync.

Please Note: When you're going to adjust the Wallbox setting via the SENEC mobile app, your local SENEC device will still get synced with these adjustments after a short while (typically 5minutes). In such a case the values in the Home Assistant Integration will be also updated to your 'remote' adjustments.

Supported wallbox control features:

  • Select the current Wallbox Mode: LOCKED / FASTEST / OPTIMIZED
  • When Mode OPTIMIZED is active you can adjust the charging current (IC_MAX)
  • When FASTEST is enabled you can switch 'allow intercharge' (use energy from your SENEC battery)

Setup requirements

When you want to control your wallbox via Home Assistant and this integration, you need to configure:

  1. the LAN: SENEC.Home V3 hybrid/SENEC.Home V3 hybrid duo or SENEC.Home V2.1 or older and
  2. also the WebAPI: mein-senec.de Portal (usable with all SENEC.Home variants)

Only if both components are configured the Wallbox Control can work correctly!


There is even more...

Here you will find additional information regarding setup and configuration.

Connecting the internal (build in) SENEC Inverter Hardware to your LAN and use it in HA

The SENEC.Home V3 hybrid duo have build in two inverters - called LV and HV. This hardware has its own LAN connectors, but they have not been connected during the installation process (I guess by purpose).

DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!

Nevertheless, when you dismount the front and the right hand side panels you simply can plug in RJ45 LAN cables into both of the inverters LAN connectors and after a short while you should be able to access the web frontends of the inverters via your browser.

Don't forget to assign fixed IP's to the additional inverter hardware. You can unplug the LAN cable for a short while in order to make sure that the inverters will make use of the fixed assigned IP's.

Adding Inverter(s) to your HA

Once you have connected the inverter(s) with your LAN you can add another integration entry to your SENEC Integration in Home Assistant:

  1. go to 'Settings' -> 'Devices & Services'
  2. select the 'SENEC.Home' integration.
  3. there you find the 'Add Entry' button (at the bottom of the 'Integration entries' list)
  4. select Internal inverter build into SENEC.Home V3 hybrid/hybrid duo from the list
  5. specify the IP (or hostname) of the inverter you want to add
  6. important: assign a name (e.g. INV_LV).

Repeat step 3, 4 & 5 of this procedure, if you have build in two inverters into your SENEC.Home.

Home Assistant Energy Dashboard

This integration supports Home Assistant's Energy Management. To use the Energy Dashboard please set up the Web API first. In the description of the Web API you will see which sensors you can use for the Energy Dashboard.

Example setup:
