EcoFlow and Home Connect Link Solar to Bosch, Siemens Appliances

A cloud-to-cloud setup will use Smart Start to time appliance runs to solar output or low tariffs beginning in spring 2026.

Overview

  • Announced at IFA 2025 in Berlin, the partnership connects EcoFlow Oasis with the Home Connect ecosystem without additional gateway hardware.
  • Users configure preferences in the Home Connect app, and Oasis triggers appliance starts based on solar availability or electricity price signals.
  • The first version is slated to arrive as a Home Connect Smart-Start update in spring 2026, followed by phased feature expansions and market rollouts.
  • The orchestration is built on EcoFlow’s Stream and PowerOcean series, supporting setups from balcony PV to whole-home systems.
  • EcoFlow and BSH say the integration targets higher self-consumption, lower energy bills and greater independence from the public grid.
