Honest comparison for ev charging homes

1app.energy vs the Hypervolt app: which job belongs where?

Use Hypervolt for modes, schedules and charging targets. Use the 1app.energy public beta to understand charging beside your solar, battery, grid use and tariff.

The 1app.energy view depends on connected devices, available measurements and the selected date.

The quick answer

Use both, but give each app the right job.

Keep the Hypervolt app for charger setup, schedules, target-based charging, lock settings, tariffs and the complete mode workflow. Use 1app.energy public beta for fresh charger state and 1app-recorded session and EV-energy context beside the rest of the home. Mode-based start and stop is limited to supported, verified chargers where the customer enables it; target-based charging stays in Hypervolt.

See the whole-home result

Compare charging periods with battery behaviour, grid import and whole-home net cost where complete measurements are available.

Simple charging control in beta

Use mode-based start and stop only on supported, verified chargers where the customer enables it, while targets remain in Hypervolt.

Capability by capability

A comparison without false checkmarks

The useful question is not which app has more features. It is which app is better suited to the job in front of you.

Real decisions

Which app should you open?

You want to change a mode, schedule or target

Open Hypervolt for the complete native workflow, especially target-based charging and charger-specific settings.

You want to know whether the EV used battery energy

Open 1app.energy to compare the charging period with battery discharge, solar generation, grid import and tariff pricing.

You want a simple public-beta start or stop

Use mode-based start and stop only on supported, verified chargers where the customer enables it. Keep target-based charging in Hypervolt.

What to know first

Honest limits matter

Compatibility, data quality and control readiness depend on the equipment and account connected to the home.

  • Hypervolt is a public-beta integration that uses unofficial upstream resources. Provider access, available fields or controls may change or be paused.
  • Mode-based start and stop is limited to supported, verified chargers where the customer enables it; target-based charging remains in Hypervolt.
  • 1app-recorded sessions and EV energy depend on fresh Hypervolt telemetry and may not match native history when readings are incomplete.
  • Keep Hypervolt for charger setup, schedules, targets, locking, detailed settings and manufacturer support.

Common questions

Straight answers before you choose

Does 1app.energy replace the Hypervolt app?

No. Keep Hypervolt for setup, modes, schedules, targets, locking and support. 1app.energy adds whole-home context.

What can 1app.energy show in the Hypervolt beta?

For supported connected chargers, it can show fresh charger state and 1app-recorded session and EV-energy data beside battery, solar, grid and tariff data.

Can I start or stop charging from 1app.energy?

Mode-based start and stop is limited to supported, verified chargers where the customer enables it. Use Hypervolt for target-based charging.

Why is the integration labelled public beta?

1app.energy uses unofficial upstream resources for this integration. Provider access, available data or controls may change or be paused while support expands.
