What is the Ecoflow Delta Smart Home Panel?
The Ecoflow Delta Smart Home Panel is an accessory that you can purchase separately from the Ecoflow Delta Pro power station. The Smart Home Panel is a metal cabinet that can be mounted next to your breaker panel. It has 10 switches that correspond to 10 circuits that you can select from your main panel. Each switch has three positions: LINE, OFF, and GEN. When you set the switch to LINE, the circuit is powered by the grid. When you set it to OFF, the circuit is disconnected from both sources. When you set it to GEN, the circuit is powered by your Delta Pro.
The Smart Home Panel also has two Infinity Ports that connect to your Delta Pro via Infinity Cables. You can use either one or two Delta Pro units with the Smart Home Panel, depending on your power needs and preferences. The Smart Home Panel also has a Relay Module that communicates with your Delta Pro and the Ecoflow app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
The Smart Home Panel pairs with your Delta Pro to bring more flexibility and functionality to your home battery system. You can charge up your Delta Pro with solar panels, wall outlets, or car chargers, link them with the Smart Home Panel, and switch between grid and battery power as needed.
How does the Ecoflow Delta Smart Home Panel work?
The Ecoflow Delta Smart Home Panel works by transferring power between your grid and your Delta Pro. It has two modes of operation: manual and automatic.
In manual mode, you can use the switches on the Smart Home Panel to control which circuits you want to power with your Delta Pro. You can switch one or more circuits at a time, depending on your needs and preferences. When you switch a circuit to GEN position, it will be powered by your Delta Pro instead of the grid. You can also switch a circuit to OFF position if you want to disconnect it from both sources.
In automatic mode, you can use the Ecoflow app on your smartphone or tablet to control which circuits you want to power with your Delta Pro. You can set different rules and schedules for each circuit based on various factors, such as time of day, battery level, grid status, weather conditions, etc. For example, you can set a rule to switch some circuits to battery mode during peak hours when electricity prices are high, or switch all circuits to battery mode when there is a blackout or emergency.
The Smart Home Panel also has a built-in safety feature that prevents backfeeding into the grid when using battery mode. This means that when you switch a circuit to GEN position, it will automatically disconnect from the grid and isolate itself from other circuits that are still on LINE position. This way, you can avoid any danger or damage to yourself, your devices, or the grid.
What are the benefits of using the Ecoflow Delta Smart Home Panel?
The Ecoflow Delta Smart Home Panel offers several benefits for anyone who wants to use their Delta Pro as a home backup or alternative power source. With the Smart Home Panel, you can:

- Stay ahead of the game and bring comfort and security to your family. You can manually or automatically switch between grid and battery power as needed, without any interruption or delay.
- Save money and reduce your carbon footprint by using renewable energy sources like solar panels to charge your Delta Pro. You can also use the free solar power on a regular day by switching some circuits to battery mode.
- Protect your appliances and electronics with a safe and trustworthy solution. The Smart Home Panel is UL listed and suitable for use with any UL listed 1” interchangeable circuit breaker. It also prevents backfeeding into the grid, which can be dangerous and illegal.
