Introduction
GivLocal is a mobile app for iOS and Android that lets you monitor and control your GivEnergy solar and battery system directly over your home network, without any cloud service or internet connection.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”GivLocal communicates directly with your GivEnergy hardware over your home network. GivEnergy devices expose a Modbus-based interface on port 8899 (inverters and gateways) or port 502 (EV Charger), which GivLocal uses to read live data and write settings. Your phone talks directly to the hardware over Wi-Fi — no intermediary, no cloud.
