What an EcoFlow monitoring app should make easier
Useful energy monitoring starts with the readings that change throughout the day. OctoMonitor surfaces live battery state, solar input, AC input, AC output, device status, and supported socket data in searchable dashboard and device-detail views.
The same workspace can retain telemetry locally, so a live number is not the end of the story. You can move from the current state to charts, reports, notes, and diagnostic views without sending OctoMonitor telemetry to an additional hosted monitoring cloud.
- Review current power, battery, solar, and availability readings.
- Compare supported EcoFlow devices from grid, list, detail, and chart views.
- Use stale-data and connectivity guidance when a reading stops updating.
- Keep local history for later investigation and reporting.
One monitoring workflow, from live data to explanation
A live reading answers what is happening now; history helps explain whether it is normal. OctoMonitor connects those two jobs with time-range telemetry charts, solar and battery reports, gap diagnostics, custom dashboards, and multi-window layouts.
Local automations and schedules can also react to supported time, tariff, solar-surplus, and battery conditions. Controls depend on the connected device and remain separate from EcoFlow-only tasks such as firmware updates and some vendor configuration.
- Open device detail, telemetry, and report views in separate browser windows.
- Filter historical readings by device, date, time, notes, and sort order.
- Build local rules for supported device actions and notifications.
- Use reports to compare solar generation, energy flow, reliability, and telemetry coverage.
Getting started with realistic expectations
OctoMonitor is a companion monitoring project, not a complete replacement for the official EcoFlow app. Initial device support has been tested with EcoFlow Delta Pro, Delta 2 Max, PowerStream, and EcoFlow Sockets; additional models should be validated carefully.
Connection uses EcoFlow developer access and API credentials. The site includes a walkthrough for requesting developer access and a separate setup guide for storing credentials in OctoMonitor. Never publish keys or paste them into a public support request.
- Keep the EcoFlow app for firmware, account, setup, and unsupported controls.
- Start with a tested device family and check its readings before relying on alerts or rules.
- Treat API credentials as secrets and follow the in-app storage guidance.
- Use the free browser app first, then choose the install approach that suits your devices.
