Growatt + Daikin

What Zerofy can do with Growatt and Daikin

In practice

• Hot water is the simplest heat store: Autopilot can raise the hot-water temperature of your Daikin heat pump in hours with surplus.
• Zerofy can also change the room temperature and flow temperature of your Daikin heat pump, so space heating can shift into sunny hours.
• A heat pump draws roughly 1–3 kW while running, which a typical Growatt home system (2.5–10 kW) can cover on sunny days.
• Zerofy gets new Growatt data every 5 minutes. Heat pumps shouldn’t switch often, so set a minimum runtime in Autopilot.
• Zerofy also shows your Growatt battery, so you can see whether surplus goes into the battery or into the heat pump.
• Check how your installer set up the flow temperature: with a weather-dependent curve, Onecta only allows shifting the curve with an offset, not setting a fixed leaving-water temperature. Raising the hot-water setpoint during surplus is usually the simplest way to store solar heat.

What Growatt and Daikin offer on their own

Growatt: The GroBoost heater controller sends surplus solar to immersion heaters, adjustable from 0 to 10.8 kW across three outputs (three 3.6 kW single-phase heaters or one three-phase heater). Growatt’s own product pages don’t mention control of heat pumps or SG Ready.

Daikin: Altherma units have Smart Grid inputs driven by an inverter or energy manager: in “Recommended ON” the heat pump buffers PV power in the hot-water tank (optionally also in the rooms) and limits its power consumption, statically or dynamically from a pulse meter at the grid connection. With the BRP069A61 LAN adapter the meter must measure the net feed-in at a single grid connection point.

Zerofy connects the two: it reads Growatt production and controls your Daikin heat pump to match, together with your other devices in one app, with dynamic tariffs and forecast-based Smart mode.

Setting up Growatt and Daikin in Zerofy

1. Connect Growatt

Zerofy connects to the Growatt cloud: you log in with your ShinePhone credentials.

1. Make sure your inverter is online and registered in the ShinePhone app.
2. In Zerofy, choose Growatt and log in with your ShinePhone username and password.

Good to know: Inverter data is supported; battery and meter data may only be partly available depending on the system. Battery control and using the battery in Autopilot are listed as coming soon for Growatt.

2. Connect Daikin

Zerofy connects to the Daikin Onecta cloud with your Onecta login and can set room temperature, leaving-water (flow) temperature and hot-water temperature; Autopilot runs it on solar surplus or low prices.

1. Register the heat pump or air conditioner in the Daikin Onecta app and check it is online.
2. In Zerofy, add Daikin and log in with your Onecta credentials.
3. Enable Autopilot (Solar or Smart mode) for the device.

3. Turn on Autopilot

In Zerofy, open your Daikin heat pump, 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 Daikin heat pump 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 Growatt solar production.
