What can you do with Victron and Niko Home Control?
Gain insight into your solar energy production
If you connect your solar inverter to Niko Home Control, you can monitor the energy production by your photovoltaic solar panels (and battery). Based on this data, you can balance your energy consumption and save costs.
We recommend the following options to make even better use of this connection:
-
Get a complete overview of the energy flows in your home, including your self-consumption; see https://guide.niko.eu/en/umnhc2/lv/energy-insights.
-
Automatically switch high-consuming devices on or off, depending on the available solar energy; see https://guide.niko.eu/en/umnhc2/lv/solar-mode.
