August 1, 20233 yr Has anyone used this product? https://plentify.io/ Currently have a Geyserwise for the Solar Geyser but keep having to manually adjust the times when loadshedding changes and the scheduler is very basic. Think this might be another option.
August 1, 20233 yr HomeAssistant is releasing version 2023.8 tomorrow and one of the new features is AI integration. That might be an option to control the geyser in a similar way of the above product.
August 1, 20233 yr If you have home assistant already and a Tuya geyserwise, you can already do this with a simple automation. I use the loadshedding integration from WernerHP, it uses the ESP API, I don't use timers though, I just check the current temp, and adjust based on what I need. Busy adapting to use Solcast in order to heat during the best solar hours for that day. Edited August 1, 20233 yr by spotity

My Geyserwise is about 4 years old and I'm pretty sure they just put in the cheapest one they could get away with... Solcast integration would be amazing.

For the meantime that would allow you control your geyser just using Tuya for now. https://plumbitonline.co.za/product/geyserwise-tse1-pcb-for-tuya-smart-wifi-retrofit-pcb-only?gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2qKmBhCfARIsAFy8buI14s3Q1mJzSH36Gap0cPx4J2GY9LFRTxPy7xrznLXSjqC_ZTg11nsaAor7EALw_wcB
