Connecting your inverter and battery

Generating an API key

An API is a set of rules that can allow software to communicate with each other. An API key, is a unique code that identifies and authenticates an application or software to interact. 

To connect your inverter and battery:

  1. Click on 'Get Started' 
  2. Select your inverter or battery brand from the list: FoxESS, GivEnergy, SolaX

Depending on the manufacturer, the process for generating an API key will differ - please follow the instructions on the app. 

This step might be easier on the desktop browser, as it can be fiddly on the phone. The link for desktop is here: app.smug.energy
