Barnex Lite
Pre-order, sales start in late February
A coordinator without a power output: reads data from the inverter over Modbus and controls boilers and the EV charger. Working and tested today.
What's next: DIN, Power and the boiler node
Barnex Lite is the main product: it works and is tested. DIN and Power will add own CT clamps and a ready power output. The boiler node is a separate device whose form factor is being decided; it works with Home Assistant directly.

Planned
Barnex DIN

Boiler node
Boiler node
In development
A separate device next to the boiler: SSR, relay, controller, temperature sensors and a power supply. Form factor is being decided. Works with Home Assistant directly, and is how Lite heats a boiler.
Works with Home Assistant directly: MQTT Discovery, no cloud.
Planned capabilities
Own CT clamps
Planned for DIN and Power: own CT clamps detect a load change in under a second and work with any inverter. Lite takes consumption data from the inverter.
Sales start at the end of February. Features are being finalised, so details may be refined.
