I have a Givenergy home battery. The company recently went into administration. Their mobile app has just been updated and its shit! They have removed so much, and what's left is ugly and nags about upgrading.
Just hoping someone creates an alternative.

@Shobeck They claim that local access will always work. Which is OK for one of our systems where we have Home Assistant, but not for the other where we don't and it would be a pain to install. (I've never used the app anyway. I don't piss around on a tiny phone screen when I can use a real computer with real display, keyboard and mouse.)

@Shobeck Yes, it works fine with #HomeAssistant. Here's one of my dashboards. But getting into Home Assistant can be rather a big deal if you're not using it already and you don't find that sort of thing fun.
