Pre-configured for your model
TAICO, from Shenzhen, makes LiFePO4 batteries in 24 V and 48 V, wall-mounted or stacked, from about 5 kWh to 20 kWh per pack. You find them behind hybrid inverters in homes, offices and shops, very often where the grid goes off every day and the battery carries the evening. What the owner sees of it is usually a percentage on the inverter screen.
TAICO Monitor reads the battery’s own BMS through its RS485 port. You see the state of charge as the battery computes it, every cell voltage, temperatures and alarms, on a small screen by the battery, on your Wi-Fi and, through the free Cloud, from anywhere. Home Assistant gets it all over MQTT, and nothing is ever written to the battery.
What you get
Every cell
All the cell voltages with the gap between the highest and the lowest.
Heat check
Cell and board temperatures, worth watching in a hot room or a closed cabinet.
Hours of backup
How long the battery carried the house during each power cut, day after day.
Phone dashboard
On your Wi-Fi at home, and anywhere in the world through the free Cloud.
Home Assistant
MQTT discovery and a JSON API for every other automation tool.
Made for the way you use your TAICO
A home battery in the garage
Charge, cells and temperature on your phone, without walking to the battery or opening an app next to it.
Off-grid, van or boat
Works without internet on the local Wi-Fi; with a connection, the Cloud shows it from anywhere.
A smart home
Every value in Home Assistant or Jeedom in about a minute, to drive your own automations.
Installers
Follow your customers’ systems with your own Cloud access, without asking for their passwords.
Home Assistant automations
Your appliances run on the sun, by themselves
TAICO Monitor tells Home Assistant when the battery fills up and when it runs low. Four simple rules, and the washing machine, the water heater and the car use your sun instead of the grid. Watch a day:

Simulation of a sunny day for a house with 5 kWp of panels, a 10 kWh battery, a car that needs 10 kWh and a water heater. The energy delivered to each appliance is the same in both scenarios; only the timing changes. Your figures depend on your system, your tariff and the weather.
The battery’s day, hour by hour
The chart shows when the battery started charging, when it reached full, how hard the house drew on it in the evening and what was left at sunrise. Where the grid fails every day, it shows exactly how many hours the battery bought you, and whether that number holds as the months go by.
The free Cloud shows it from anywhere in the world, keeps three years of data and exports it to a spreadsheet.

Essentials only during a cut
When the battery discharges with no grid and sensor.taico_monitor_soc falls under 40%, the air conditioner and the water pump are switched off; lights, fridge and router stay on.
Hot room warning
If sensor.taico_monitor_temperature goes above 40 °C, you get a notification and a fan in the battery room is switched on.
Backup hours log
Each evening, Home Assistant records how many hours the battery ran the house that day, so you see whether the autonomy holds over the months.
Surplus to the water heater
When the battery is above 95% and the panels still produce, the water heater is switched on instead of wasting the sun.
Plug & play
In Home Assistant in about a minute
Type the address of Home Assistant in the box, a user and its password: that’s it. The TAICO Monitor device and all its sensors appear on their own, ready for your dashboards and the Energy page.

One cable, one charger
An RJ45 cable from the battery’s RS485 port to the box, a USB charger for power. The colour screen shows the essentials next to the battery, even when the internet is down.
It shares its design with Pylon-Monitor, which already watches Pylontech batteries in many homes, and uses an RS485 / CAN board and firmware written for the TAICO BMS.
Designed and assembled in France
Each box is prepared and tested in France before it ships, by the team that makes Pylon-Monitor for Pylontech owners.
