EcoFlow Stream

This page shows the nightly version. Switch to the release version.

To use the EcoFlow Stream meter you need:

  • A valid Access Key from the EcoFlow Developer Console
  • The corresponding Secret Key
  • The main device serial number of your Stream system

These credentials can be obtained through the EcoFlow Developer Console after registering your application.

For active battery control, maxsoc must be set. In normal operation the Backup Reserve is set to minsoc, for grid charging to maxsoc.

Note: Active battery control overwrites the Backup Reserve configured in the EcoFlow app. The device requires the Backup Reserve to exceed the discharge limit by 3, lower minsoc values are raised accordingly. Without minsoc the battery discharges down to the device's own discharge limit.

Supported features

  • Battery control: External control of home battery charging and discharging via evcc.

Usage areas

  • Grid meter
  • Solar production
  • Battery

Parameters

NameDescriptionValueLevel
accesskeyAccess Key

Access Key from EcoFlow Developer Console

optional
secretkeySecret Key

Secret Key from EcoFlow Developer Console

optional
serialSerial

Serial number of the main device in your Stream system, normally the first device of your system

optional
capacity [kWh]Battery capacity
Example: 50
optional
minsoc [%]Minimum charge

Lower limit as configured on the battery system. Used by optimizer.

Example: 25
optional
maxsoc [%]Maximum charge

Upper limit as configured on the battery system. Used by optimizer and for grid charging.

Example: 95
optional
regionAPI Region

If you sometimes see error code 8513, like for example Starlink users do, automatic region detection fails. Here, you can set the API region manually. Possible values: auto (default), europe, or america.

Default: auto
advanced
cacheCache

Time interval for data refresh

Default: 30s
Example: 5m
advanced
maxchargepower [W]Maximum charge power

For forced charging of the battery.

advanced
maxdischargepower [W]Maximum discharge power

Maximum discharge power of the storage.
