At CES 2026, EcoFlow announced a new partnership with Homey that brings deeper integration between EcoFlow’s Smart Home Energy Management System and Homey’s open smart home platform. The collaboration centers on tighter coordination between energy generation, storage, and everyday smart devices, with the goal of giving households clearer insight and more control over how energy is used across the home.
The announcement pairs a focused technical integration with a broader strategic move, as EcoFlow revealed a new Ecosystem Alliance aimed at expanding interoperability across the smart home energy space.
Integrating Energy Systems With the Smart Home
The EcoFlow and Homey partnership connects EcoFlow’s Smart Home Energy Management System with the Homey Energy Dongle, enabling unified monitoring and automation without requiring extra third-party hardware or subscription services. Through Homey’s interface, households can track energy flows, automate device behavior, and coordinate usage across brands from a single dashboard.
EcoFlow’s platform brings together solar generation, home batteries, household circuits, and compatible appliances into one system. Core features include real-time monitoring, remote energy control, storm-preparedness charging alerts, Time-of-Use optimization, and customizable schedules designed to help manage energy costs. When paired with Homey’s automation tools, these capabilities extend beyond energy data into practical, rules-based actions that respond to changing conditions in the home.
Homey, part of LG Electronics, supports devices from more than a thousand brands and emphasizes cross-platform automation through its Homey Flow system. Its Energy tools, supported by the Energy Dongle, provide real-time insight into household electricity usage and create a bridge between energy hardware and broader smart home routines.
Practical Whole-Home Use Cases
The combined systems enable several whole-home energy scenarios that move beyond simple monitoring. Households can automate high-load appliances to operate when solar production is strongest, prioritize essential devices during power outages, and adjust usage patterns based on electricity pricing, battery charge levels, or available solar output.
These types of automations position energy management as an active part of daily smart home behavior, rather than a separate app or dashboard that requires manual attention.
A Broader Ecosystem Strategy
Alongside the Homey partnership, EcoFlow introduced the Ecosystem Alliance, an initiative that already includes more than 15 smart home and appliance brands. The Alliance is designed as a long-term effort to expand two-way integrations through shared APIs and standardized interfaces, allowing energy systems and smart devices to communicate more freely across manufacturers.
EcoFlow framed the Alliance as an extension of its recent ecosystem work, which includes collaborations announced with other smart home and energy technology providers. The goal is to reduce fragmentation and make multi-brand energy setups easier to deploy and manage within real homes.
Availability and What’s Next
The Ecosystem Alliance is scheduled to roll out globally beginning in 2026, with early integrations highlighted during CES 2026. EcoFlow plans to expand its partner network and integration depth over time as part of this roadmap.
