EcoFlow has announced a new partnership with Homey at CES 2026 aimed to enable deeper and more flexible whole-home energy management across brands.
The collaboration integrates EcoFlow’s Smart Home Energy Management System with the Homey Energy Dongle, allowing households to monitor and coordinate energy use, solar generation, batteries and connected appliances through a single interface.
Rather than requiring additional hubs or proprietary hardware, the integration relies on Homey’s open smart-home platform, which already supports devices from more than a thousand brands.
EcoFlow’s system brings together solar panels, home batteries, household circuits and smart appliances into one control layer, offering real-time energy monitoring alongside features such as storm-prep charging alerts, time-of-use optimisation and custom energy-saving schedules.
By connecting this system to Homey’s Energy Dongle, users can automate how and when devices run based on solar output, electricity pricing or battery status.
Examples include scheduling high-load appliances to operate during peak solar generation, prioritising essential devices during outages and adjusting consumption dynamically as energy prices change.
Alongside the Homey partnership, EcoFlow also used CES 2026 to unveil its new Ecosystem Alliance, a broader initiative involving more than 15 smart-home and appliance brands.
The goal of the alliance is to expand openness and interoperability across the smart home energy space through shared APIs and two-way integrations, reducing reliance on closed, single-brand systems.
EcoFlow says the initiative builds on recent collaborations, including its work with BSH Home Connect announced at IFA 2025, as well as integrations with brands such as Shelly and Go-e.
Homey, which became part of LG Electronics in 2024, positions itself as an open platform focused on cross-brand automation and energy insight, with tools like Homey Flow enabling users to create advanced automations across their entire home.
The EcoFlow integrations unlock more detailed energy visibility inside Homey, while allowing EcoFlow hardware to respond dynamically to broader smart-home conditions.
The Ecosystem Alliance will roll out globally starting in 2026, with early integrations demonstrated at CES this week.
