Hoymiles + go-e

What Zerofy can do with Hoymiles and go-e

In practice

• Zerofy can switch your go-e Charger between one and three phases. Solar charging can therefore start at about 1.4 kW of surplus (6 A on one phase) and move to three phases once the surplus passes about 4.1 kW.
• Hoymiles systems range from balcony kits to rooftop systems (0.8–10 kW). A balcony system never reaches the 1.4 kW needed to start charging; a rooftop system of a few kW does on bright days.
• Zerofy gets new Hoymiles data only every 15 minutes, so charging reacts to clouds with some delay. A slightly higher activation threshold and a minimum runtime in Autopilot keep it steady.
• If your car is connected to Zerofy too, turn on Autopilot for either the car or the charger, not both.
• The go-eCharger charges from 6 A, about 1.4 kW on one phase and 4.1 kW on three. Zerofy charges single-phase up to about 3.7 kW of surplus and switches to three phases above that; go-e lists automatic phase switching for Gemini models and HOME V3, so older HOME units stay on the phases they are wired with.

What Hoymiles and go-e offer on their own

Hoymiles: Hoymiles sells its own AC chargers (VAS-7-G2 single-phase 7 kW, VAT-11-G2 and VAT-22-G2 three-phase) with a green power mode that follows PV surplus, but only together with a Hoymiles storage inverter (HYS, HAS, HYT, HAT), not with microinverters. An 800 W balcony system on its own never reaches the about 1.4 kW a charger needs at its 6 A minimum.

go-e: go-e’s own route to surplus charging is the go-e Controller, which measures the house connection with six current sensors and works with any inverter brand, including automatic 1/3-phase switching. Without the Controller, go-e relies on external energy managers through its open API, Modbus TCP or OCPP.

Zerofy connects the two: it reads Hoymiles production and controls your go-e Charger to match, together with your other devices in one app, with dynamic tariffs and forecast-based Smart mode.

Setting up Hoymiles and go-e in Zerofy

1. Connect Hoymiles

Zerofy connects to the Hoymiles S-Miles Cloud with your S-Miles account and reads your PV production.

1. If your installer hasn’t set up your plant yet, register it in the S-Miles Installer app (use DIY mode if you install it yourself).
2. In Zerofy, add an inverter, choose Hoymiles and log in with your S-Miles credentials.
3. Use Autopilot (Solar Mode) to switch devices on solar surplus.

Good to know: Zerofy reads PV production only from Hoymiles, not grid meter or battery data, and stores the power history in 15-minute steps (5 minutes for most other brands).

2. Connect go-e

Zerofy uses the go-e Cloud HTTP API with your charger’s serial number and API token, sets the charging current and switches between one and three phases.

1. Update the charger to firmware 052 or later and the go-e app to 2.3 or later.
2. In the go-e app, go to Internet → Advanced Settings and turn on the Cloud HTTP API.
3. Copy the API token shown there and enter it in Zerofy together with the charger’s serial number.

Good to know: Supported are Gemini 2.0 (serial 400000+), Gemini (200000–399999) and HOME (050000–199999).

3. Turn on Autopilot

In Zerofy, open your go-e Charger, turn on Autopilot and choose Solar – or Smart to also use dynamic tariffs and forecasts. Set the priority, activation threshold and minimum runtime.

Dynamic tariffs

Zerofy can also run your go-e Charger on dynamic electricity prices (EPEX Spot or Nord Pool, e.g. Tibber or aWATTar) or on a fixed time-of-use tariff. Smart mode combines those prices with forecasts of your household consumption and your Hoymiles solar production.

About Hoymiles and go-e

Hoymiles – Hoymiles (Hangzhou, China) is one of the largest microinverter makers. In Europe it is best known for balcony systems such as the HMS-800W-2T (switchable 600/800 W) with the MS-A2 balcony battery, and it also sells HYS/HYT hybrid inverters with home batteries. Monitoring app: S-Miles Cloud (S-Miles app).

go-e – go-e is an Austrian charger maker. The current go-eCharger Gemini 2.0 (11 or 22 kW) has documented local and cloud APIs, MQTT, Modbus TCP, a freely configurable OCPP backend and an eSIM; according to the data sheet it is not approved for the Netherlands, France or Italy. Products: go-eCharger Gemini 2.0, Gemini, HOME.
