Smart panel maker Lumin has announced that the Lumin Smart Panel now integrates with the Tesla Powerwall family of home batteries to read and respond to charge status. This includes Powerwall+, Powerwall 2 and Powerwall 3 batteries.
Lumin products have always been compatible with all batteries, inverters and charging centers, including Powerwall. This latest integration enables intelligent energy optimization based on battery charge status, resulting in longer backup runtime. By monitoring the battery’s state of charge, Lumin automatically offloads less important loads as the battery discharges, based on the homeowner’s priorities.
For the integration, homeowners must have the latest version of the Lumin app on their mobile device and the latest operating system installed on their Lumin Smart Panel. If you add the integration while using an older operating system, the app will prompt the user to request an update, which will enable the feature. Lumin will enable automatic updates in the coming months to eliminate this step. Additionally, all new Lumin Smart Panels come with the latest operating system, enabling Powerwall integration.
The Lumin Smart Panel now reads charge status for Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ and SolarEdge Home batteries, which cover approximately 70% of the solar and storage market.
