PVCommander is the companion app for your solar system, the successor to SMH. Watch your solar, battery, grid and load in real time, dive into the detail, automate your system and keep
everything backed up, all from your phone.

A living view of your power flow with a sun and moon arc, animated energy streams and an at a glance status pill. Tap the solar panels, inverter or battery for per MPPT, per inverter and
per pack detail.

Set up over Bluetooth
Pair a fresh PVCommander to your phone, choose your WiFi and name the system. No laptop, no keyboard, no screen on the Pi.

Smart automations
Build rules that watch battery state of charge, load, grid and PV, then react with profiles, GPIO, webhooks or push notifications.

Live inverter settings
Change inverter settings straight from your phone. Only the controls relevant to your inverter and current mode appear.

Solar forecast and savings
A week of weather with predicted kWh per day, plus cost and savings tracking with flat, time of use or tiered tariffs.

Backups you can trust
Daily or weekly encrypted backups to Google Drive, or push copies to a free Backup Agent on your own computer.

Works with Home Assistant
Every sensor appears under one PVCommander device. No YAML, no manual setup.

Stays on your network
When your phone is on the same network as your system, the app talks to it directly, so your data never leaves your network and updates are faster.

Push notifications and summaries
Real time alerts for system events and automation triggers, plus daily and weekly summaries of what you produced, used, exported and saved.

PVCommander supports a wide range of inverters and batteries. Bring your existing SMH system across and your history comes with you.
