GridPilot
More than a battery controller

You're not just buying a battery trader.

Most energy gadgets do one thing. The Home Assistant Green runs your entire smart home — solar, battery, EV charging, lights, the lot — and GridPilot adds the battery smarts on top. One box, the whole lot.

A full smart home

Home Assistant is a proper, open smart-home platform. Solar, battery, EV, lights, sensors — all in one place, all yours, no locked black box.

Manual battery control, included

From day one you can charge and discharge your battery yourself with simple sliders. No subscription needed to take the wheel.

Included from $540

Add the AI when you're ready

Switch on GridPilot AI and it works the battery for you — buying when power's cheap, selling into price spikes, every five minutes.
