Am I looking for a standard, accessible API, commitment standards to access?

I have to buy into battery and inverter tech soon…before I get up to speed with HA but I want to ensure I can link them

    I don’t recall what we have, but the installer kindly set us up to report our usage to the chinese company so we could use their app.

    Needless to say, after commissioning I blocked it’s internet access.

    I didn’t bother with trying to read the data from the unit, I just went with the EmonPi which feeds direct into HA, so I’m 100% in control of my data and my energy.

      That looks good, I guess with the inverter it is only monitoring. The Heat Pump one looked good too but I would probably like to be able to manage not just monitor.

      How easy did you find setup?
