Sungrow + Sensibo

What Zerofy can do with Sungrow and Sensibo

In practice

• Autopilot switches the air conditioner on when there’s surplus; the unit’s own setpoint logic still decides when it heats or cools.
• Zerofy gets new Sungrow data every 5 minutes and adjusts accordingly. A minimum runtime and an activation threshold in Autopilot keep passing clouds from interrupting the device.
• Zerofy also shows your Sungrow battery, so you can see whether surplus goes into the battery or into the air conditioner.
• The API key gives Zerofy access to your Sensibo account: keep it in place, because deleting or regenerating it at home.sensibo.com/me/api cuts the connection until you enter a new key in Zerofy.

What Sungrow and Sensibo offer on their own

Sungrow: SH-RT inverters have a DO relay that the iSolarCloud app can switch on export (Intelligent Mode: on once export reaches a set power, for at least 20 minutes), for example for an SG Ready heat pump via a contactor. The iHomeManager also has a DO port for heat pump control.

Sensibo: The Sensibo app automates by schedules, geofencing and “Climate React” (reacting to room temperature and humidity) and added kWh and cost tracking in October 2026. Sensibo does not advertise a mode that follows PV surplus automatically; Enphase sells Sensibo controllers, but the pairing means manually matching AC use to the production shown in the Enphase app.

Zerofy connects the two: it reads Sungrow production and controls your Sensibo-controlled air conditioner to match, together with your other devices in one app, with dynamic tariffs and forecast-based Smart mode.

Setting up Sungrow and Sensibo in Zerofy

2. Connect Sensibo

Zerofy connects to your Sensibo account with an API key; it can switch the air conditioner on and off, set the target temperature and let Autopilot run it on solar surplus or in Smart mode.

1. Set up the Sensibo device in the Sensibo app.
2. Create an API key at home.sensibo.com/me/api.
3. In Zerofy, add Sensibo and paste the API key.

3. Turn on Autopilot

In Zerofy, open your Sensibo-controlled air conditioner, 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 Sensibo-controlled air conditioner 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 Sungrow solar production.

About Sungrow and Sensibo

Sungrow – Chinese inverter and storage maker based in Hefei. Homes typically have an SH-RS single-phase hybrid inverter (3–6 kW) or an SH-RT three-phase hybrid inverter (5–10 kW) with the SBR battery (6.4–25.6 kWh, 3.2 kWh modules), connected to the cloud through a WiNet-S/S2 dongle. Monitoring app: Sungrow iSolarCloud.

Sensibo – Sensibo was founded in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 2013. Its controllers (Sky, Air, Air PRO) make existing air conditioners, mini-splits and air-to-air heat pumps smart by sending the same infrared commands as the original remote. Products: Sensibo Sky, Sensibo Air, Sensibo Air PRO (plus Room Sensor and Elements/Pure air-quality devices).
