Hoymiles HiFlow 800 Pro: The new balcony storage system with local operation
Many balcony storage systems have a critical weakness: they require a permanent cloud connection to function. Hoymiles has solved this problem with the HiFlow 800 Pro – a balcony storage system that can be operated completely locally and independently of the cloud.
What is the Hoymiles HiFlow 800 Pro?
The HiFlow 800 Pro is an all-in-one balcony power plant storage system from Hoymiles that combines an inverter and battery management in one device. Unlike many competitors, it offers a local MQTT interface through which the system can be operated completely without the internet.
Technical Data
- Output power: 800 watts
- Recommended capacity: Hoymiles HiBattery 1920 AC (1,920 Wh)
- Communication: WLAN, Bluetooth, MQTT (local)
- Smart Meter: Zero export via DTU or Shelly Pro 3EM
- Warranty: 10 years
Local Control: What does MQTT mean?
MQTT is an open communication protocol that is widely used in smart home systems. For balcony storage, this means: You can integrate the HiFlow 800 Pro into your Home Assistant system, create your own automations, and keep the device completely under your control. Even if Hoymiles were to shut down its server – your storage would continue to function.
HiBattery 1920 AC
Together with the HiFlow 800 Pro, Hoymiles recommends the HiBattery 1920 AC as the storage unit. It offers 1,920 Wh capacity (LiFePO4), an AC interface for easy connection, and is IP55-protected.
Who benefits from the HiFlow 800 Pro?
The HiFlow 800 Pro is ideal for privacy-conscious users, smart home enthusiasts with Home Assistant or ioBroker, and users who already own Hoymiles micro-inverters and want to upgrade.
