EcoFlow is working with 15 smart-home and appliance brands to advance openness and interoperability across the smart home energy landscape.

Together, they have formed an ecosystem alliance driven by a shared commitment to user experience, intelligent insights and seamless interoperability.

This collaboration integrates EcoFlow’s system with the Homey Energy Dongle. It allows households to monitor, automate and coordinate their energy consumption and device operations from a unified interface without requiring any additional third-party hardware or services.

EcoFlow’s smart home energy system is an intelligent platform unifying solar generation, home batteries, household circuits and smart appliances into one cohesive control hub. It enables remote energy management, cross-brand integration and real-time monitoring of household energy flows, enhanced by features such as storm-prep charging alerts, as well as time-of-use optimisation and customisable energy-saving schedules for energy bill savings.

The partnership with Homey, part of LG Electronics, was announced at last week’s CES in Las Vegas, and aims to enable deeper interoperability between EcoFlow’s smart home energy management system and Homey’s open smart-home platform.

Homey is an open smart home platform that lets users control, automate and gain insights across devices from more than a thousand brands. With Homey Flow, users can create automations that connect their entire home, while Homey Energy offers clear insight into household energy usage. Homey provides open APIs across the ecosystem, including the Homey Energy Dongle, which enables real-time energy monitoring and seamless integration with additional energy hardware.

These integrations unlock a range of whole-home scenarios, including: automation of high-load appliances to run during peak solar generation; prioritisation of essential devices during outages; and adjustment of home energy usage based on electricity pricing, battery status and solar output.

“As smart homes become more interconnected, cross-brand collaboration is essential,” said Stefan Witkamp, CEO of Homey. “The partnership reflects a co-created approach, where two-way integrations allow devices and energy systems to work seamlessly across brands.”

Bruce Wang Lei, CEO of EcoFlow, added: “In a new era of home energy, we envision households becoming part of resilient, shared energy networks where communities can support one another through outages, extreme weather events and rising demand. This represents not just a technological shift, but a societal one towards collective resilience and shared abundance. With the strategic partnership with Homey by LG, we’re building the interoperable foundation needed for that future.”

In line with its broader 2026 ecosystem partner roadmap, EcoFlow’s vision to form the ecosystem alliance builds on recent partnerships, including the BSH Home Connect collaboration announced at IFA 2025 (eu.36kr.com/en/p/3461739094988416), as well as integrations with brands such as Shelly, Go-e and others.

The initiative rolls out globally beginning this year, with early integrations showcased last week at CES.

With operational headquarters in Seattle, Düsseldorf, Irvine and Tokyo, and a business and data centre in Singapore, EcoFlow (www.ecoflow.com) operates as a global ecosystem spanning research, operations and manufacturing. Its innovative technologies serve over five million users across 140 markets.

Founded in 2014 in Enschede, Netherlands, Athom is the company behind Homey (homey.app), a smart home platform for home control, automation and energy management. Homey Pro, the flagship hub, supports all major smart home technologies. The Homey app store has more than 1000 integrations. In 2024, Athom was acquired by LG Electronics (www.LG.com).
