First startup and sign-in
HelioPulse brings inverter and battery data into a local dashboard. Prepare the core before connecting equipment.
Read guide 02Navigation and preferences
The menu separates monitoring, equipment, automation and maintenance. You need not configure every screen to start.
Read guide 03Live energy
See where electricity comes from and where it goes. First check the latest reading's timestamp.
Read guide 04History and comparison
Explore production, consumption, battery charge and temperatures over time.
Read guide 05Batteries and BMS
Inspect a pack or bank and compare cell voltages.
Read guide 06Add and manage equipment
Each device needs an identity, compatible driver and connection. Adding a record does not establish communication.
Read guide 07Drivers and compatibility
A driver defines readings and, where supported, writable parameters for a particular model.
Read guide 08Remote collectors and ESP32
An ESP32 near the inverter reads its bus and sends readings to the HelioPulse core.
Read guide 09Inverter parameters
Device configuration exposes only parameters the driver marks writable. Changes can affect real equipment.
Read guide 10Alarms
Alarms flag reported or evaluated conditions. Acknowledging an alarm does not correct its cause.
Read guide 11Events and activity
Events provide a timeline of changes and operations to investigate incidents.
Read guide 12Daily and weekly reports
Reports summarize closed periods with energy, coverage and analysis, rather than live readings.
Read guide 13Energy plan and simulation
The plan estimates the next 24 hours from forecasts and constraints. Start in advisory mode.
Read guide 14Planner control
Execution is advanced: recommendations can be written only when all control prerequisites are met.
Read guide 15Simple rules and flows
Rules pair one trigger with one action; flows support multiple steps.
Read guide 16Visual editor and logic nodes
Data connections carry values; control connections determine execution order. You need both where required.
Read guide 17Flow actions and credentials
Actions send messages or operate integrations/resources. They require suitable configuration.
Read guide 18System: general, location and impact
General includes information, language, help, location and forecast/savings assumptions.
Read guide 19Communications and remote access
Communications shows network/collector health. Remote access opens the panel outside the LAN when supported.
Read guide 20MQTT, Home Assistant, SmartThings and Kasa
Integrations share readings and control compatible equipment. Configure services before using flow actions.
Read guide 21Security, tokens and Alexa
Permissions govern reading, operation and administration. Service tokens are not user passwords.
Read guide 22Hardware and fan
Hardware shows host metrics and fan management where supported.
Read guide 23Updates
Review version, channel and supported packages. Back up before upgrading.
Read guide 24Backups and restoration
Backups preserve configuration/database. Restoration replaces current state.
Read guide 25Diagnostics, AI, console and host power
Maintenance combines diagnosis, AI reports and host operations. Start with inspection.
Read guide 26Common problems
Follow equipment → collector → communications → data → screen. Change one thing and verify.
Read guide 27Glossary and reading example
Distinguish measurements, calculations and estimates throughout the panel.
