Growatt + myStrom

What Zerofy can do with Growatt and myStrom

In practice

• Solar mode switches your myStrom switch on when there’s surplus, following your priority order and minimum runtime. Smart mode instead runs for a set number of minutes within the hours you allow.
• A myStrom plug can also measure a balcony solar system: set it as balcony solar meter in Zerofy.
• With a typical Growatt home system (2.5–10 kW), plug loads get surplus on most sunny days; use priorities to decide whether they or bigger devices such as an EV charger come first.
• Zerofy gets new Growatt data every 5 minutes and adjusts accordingly. A minimum runtime and an activation threshold in Autopilot keep passing clouds from interrupting switching.
• Zerofy also shows your Growatt battery, so you can see whether surplus goes into the battery or into your appliances.
• If you have a plug-in balcony PV system, plug it into a WiFi Switch and set that switch as balcony solar meter in Zerofy, so its production is counted in your energy flows.

What Growatt and myStrom offer on their own

Growatt: The GroPlug-X smart plug works with the NOAH 2000 and NEXA 2000 balcony batteries: it measures the load plugged into it so the battery can adjust its discharge.

myStrom: The myStrom app records mini-PV production measured by a WiFi Switch every 30 seconds, and “Solar Actions” and “Power Actions” can switch other myStrom devices on these values, e.g. allow e-bike charging from 200 W; this needs the myStrom PLUS subscription (EUR 3.49/year). Whole-house surplus control comes from energy management partners such as Solar Manager or clever-PV, not from an inverter maker.

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

Setting up Growatt and myStrom 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 myStrom

Zerofy connects to your myStrom account; it switches the plugs on and off, records their power every 5 minutes and lets Autopilot run them on solar surplus or in Smart mode.

1. Set up new myStrom plugs in the myStrom app.
2. In Zerofy, add myStrom and link your myStrom account.

3. Turn on Autopilot

In Zerofy, open your myStrom switch, 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 myStrom switch 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.
