Connect your GivEnergy system to Wattlas

Inverter & battery ~2 minutes
Diagram: your GivEnergy inverter and battery already report to GivEnergy Cloud; Wattlas reads the same feed with a read-only API key

What you'll need

Connecting this account requires Wattlas Plus.

  • An active GivEnergy Cloud account for your own system
  • Your inverter serial (on the inverter's sticker, or in the portal) and an API key
  • About 2 minutes - treat the key as a one-time reveal, same as everywhere else here

Connect it in Wattlas

  1. Get your API key from GivEnergy Cloud

    Log into GivEnergy Cloud → Account Details → API Key. Your inverter serial is on the sticker on the inverter itself, or in the same portal under your system's details. Copy the key somewhere safe as soon as it's generated - if you'll want it for other services too, save it now rather than hunting for it again later.

  2. Open Setup → Inverter in Wattlas

    Tap the gear icon top-left of the app, then the plug icon for the Inverter tab, and pick GivEnergy (Cloud) from the dropdown.

  3. Enter your inverter serial and API key

    This is the exact form you'll see:

    Connect GivEnergy (Cloud)

    How to find these: log into GivEnergy Cloud → Account Details → API Key. Your inverter serial is on the sticker on the inverter itself, or in the same portal under your system's details. Requires an active GivEnergy Cloud subscription (separate from this app - GivEnergy moved this behind their own paywall in 2026).

  4. Test, then save

    Tap Test connection - once it reports a real kWh reading back, Save unlocks. A typo here fails loudly rather than silently saving a broken connection.

Wattlas only ever reads. It has no write access to GivEnergy Cloud - it can't change inverter or battery settings. That stays entirely in GivEnergy's own app, same as before you connected Wattlas.

Common questions

Do I need a GivEnergy Cloud subscription to connect?

Yes - Wattlas reads through your own GivEnergy Cloud account, the same way any third-party app reads any API, so it needs whatever access that account has. See our GivEnergy owners page for what changed there in 2026.

Can I connect without GivEnergy Cloud, using local GivTCP instead?

There's an advanced "GivEnergy (local GivTCP)" option in the same dropdown, for households who already self-host GivTCP and an MQTT broker on their own network. It's not a plug-and-play alternative to a subscription - if that doesn't mean anything to you, use GivEnergy Cloud instead.

Can Wattlas control my GivEnergy inverter or battery?

No. Wattlas only ever reads from GivEnergy Cloud (or your local GivTCP bridge) - it can't change inverter or battery settings. That stays in GivEnergy's own app.
