Inverter idle shutdown (automatic power safety)

Automatically turn off (or reduce) inverter usage when it’s been idle for a while, or when nobody is home — to prevent silent battery drain.

How to install

  • Inverter telemetry (on/off state, load watts) and a safe way to control it
  • Optional: presence detection (nobody home)

How it works

  • Show inverter status + load
  • Provide a safe “inverter allowed” toggle
  • Optionally automate inverter OFF when:
  • load is below a threshold for N minutes
  • nobody is home
  • battery SOC is low

Common automations (ideas)

  • Don’t shut off if a critical load is active (fridge/medical/etc.)
  • Disable in “Travel” if you rely on it while driving
