Hi! I’m a software lead at Pila, and we’re looking to ship Home Assistant support out of the box (publish our internal and external-facing MQTT topics). Pila is a room-by-room home backup battery solution designed to integrate into your existing smart home setup. In the same way that Powerwall leveled up old-school lead-acid home battery banks, we’re bringing the UPS into this century with more power/energy plus day-to-day value centered on connectivity, data, and control. It can be configured to charge from solar or the grid (TOU-aware), meters/control power at every outlet + USB-C port, and pairs wirelessly to sensors (like fridge temp or humidity) for richer automations. And with all of this, it works offline — we learned from our time developing Powerwall and SPAN how critical local interoperability is.

Our goal is to make battery backup accessible to the 99.7% of households that don’t have a whole-home battery system, and to offer deeper energy intelligence and control, in addition to automatic backup power during outages.

What features would you want to see for our Home Assistant integration? What’s missing from current energy products?
