Following up on the F3800, otherwise quite good dual voltage standalone home backup but sans API, there are attempts at connecting to the unit. The standout is GitHub thomluther’s builds for Solix products but these are mainly balcony units outside the US. https://github.com/thomluther/ha-anker-solix
Second there is an attempt at connecting via the Bluetooth local connection but, when I tried it, it didn’t easily connect and my bit registers seemed to be different so any updates by Anker might completely wreck the IO. https://github.com/tiger2380/anker_f3800_web
For the first, the issue is the F3800 (plus or non I am guessing) doesn’t create a System (as defined in Anker’s config) so the endpoints are not available. That said, once connected to WiFi the unit can be managed from any location, not just on the same network, so the unit has cloud management but the endpoints aren’t clear. The second API option, tapping right into the local Bluetooth, would be ideal but relying on reading bit output has any number of issues.
There are Ecoflow HA options and it would be interesting just to see what the potential is there.
