About this app

With the FranklinWH app, homeowners can manage your Franklin Home Power (FHP) system anytime, anywhere. The FranklinWH app monitors your home electricity consumption 24 hours a day, tracking solar, grid, battery and generator supply and home consumption. It provides usage statistics for time periods including year, month and day.

You can remotely control your home electricity consumption pattern and the energy equipment while choosing an economical and energy-saving home electricity consumption plan. With the app, you can control the three optional Smart Circuits, managing unique devices such as air conditioners and EV chargers manually or through automatic schedules.

The FranklinWH app also provides installers management of installation, operations and maintenance. Through the direct communication between app and the FHP, problems can quickly be resolved. The FranklinWH app is under constant development and we would love to receive your feedback and suggestions.

Ratings and reviews

There is plenty of room for improvement. Here are some suggestions to start with: 1. On the Now screen, make all the numbers and diagrams bigger. (1/3 of the space has a Franklin battery logo that is useless. 2. On the bottom of now page are 3 timelines. But they are too small (and there is no legend) so it's not clear what they mean. On the Today (graphs) page: A. Make the main graph bigger and label the TIME on it as is done for the SOC graph. B. SOC? Really, why not just battery level

Where are the push notifications. I was having warnings and faults on my system and never even knew about it. Which is bad. I lost two days of solar production and didn't know until I got an email from my solar monitoring program. I also had the grid go down and come back on without me knowing. Not too bad since that means the battery system works great. But I need push notifications so I could monitor my energy usage during that time. Finally. Got my first push notification today. Thanks

The App is just fine if you want to set and forget. However when running a schedule for the battery's use, the system just does not seem to work intuitively. This is easy to fix, each block set of times in the schedule can have its own priorities (power from solar, the grid, the battery, or generator before other power sourse, or the battery for later, etc). this would take advantage of super off peek times, high solar feedin tarrifs, different tarrif times, when to charge, etc...
