One screen that runs your whole energy system. HiveGuard watches your solar, batteries, inverter, generator and hydro meter around the clock, and makes the right call on its own. It charges when power is cheap, runs on battery when it's expensive, starts the generator when it's needed and texts us if anything goes wrong.
Most solar systems come with a phone app that tells you what already happened. HiveGuard is the control layer we build on top of your equipment so it acts on what's happening right now. We design it, wire it, program it and support it for every system we install.
Real-time power flow between solar, battery, grid, generator and your home, measured at the inverter every few seconds.
Charges the battery during off-peak hours and covers your on-peak load from storage. You see dollars used, credited and net for the day.
Auto-start on low battery or a grid outage, with a fail-to-start watch. If the generator is called and doesn't start, you and HBS get a text.
Lighting zones with dimming and colour, climate, cameras, audio and EV status, all on the same screen as your energy system.
Family and staff get their own logins. Inverter and battery settings are admin-only, so nobody can accidentally change a charge schedule.
We can see your system's health remotely and often fix issues before you notice them. That matters most at remote and off-grid sites.
The moving lines show where energy is going at that moment. Faster dots mean more power. Pick a situation below to see how HiveGuard handles it. The panel also cycles through these on its own.
Demo data from a sample home. Your panel shows your own equipment, rates and loads.
Each HiveGuard system is programmed for the site it runs. These are the automations we build most often.
We mount an iPad Pro in a stainless steel in-wall dock that sits flush with the drywall. Power runs inside the wall, so there are no cords and nothing sticks out. It looks like it came with the house. The iPad lifts out whenever you want it in your hand.
We document your inverter, batteries, generator, panel and loads, then confirm what you want automated.
We install the HiveGuard controller, data links to the inverter and batteries, and generator and transfer-switch sensing. All work is done to code.
We build your rate schedule, charge and backup logic, alerts and screens. Everything is tested on your equipment before handover.
We walk you through the wall panel and app, set up user logins and keep monitoring the system from the HBS office.
Works with the hybrid inverters we install, including Sol-Ark, LuxPower and Solis, along with lithium battery banks, standby generators and automatic transfer switches. Already have a system? We can add HiveGuard to it.
No. HiveGuard runs on a controller at your site, so the automations keep running if the internet goes down. You only need an internet connection for remote access from your phone and for text alerts.
In most cases, yes. It depends on your inverter and batteries. Send us the make and model and we'll confirm what we can read and control.
HiveGuard watches for the start signal and for generator power. If the generator was called and power doesn't show up, it texts you and HBS right away, so a failed start doesn't drain your battery overnight.
Only if you want them to. Everyone gets their own login, and the inverter and battery settings stay on an admin-only page.
No. We use it on homes, cottages, off-grid camps and commercial sites, from one inverter up to multi-inverter stacks with large battery banks.
Tell us what you have and what you want it to do. We'll show you what HiveGuard can automate on your site.
