Looking forward to local only support next year as I’ve got a bunch of applications for which cloud and and internet dependence are simply not acceptable and right now that basically means Victron or some rather low end (and quality) products rather than anything nicely mobile.

To be fair, i understand their cloud only approach for the first time. Its way more easy to implement for them and use for the customer. If people dont use it, they can just shutdown without spend too much time and ressources.
The real good part is, that they finally listen to people that want something like this for ages now

Yes, and also because they need the cloud mode to work with Alexa which wouldn’t support anything local. Working on too much at once would slow down the rollout to more units. It’s not really much of a difference providing backup power to a local controller or to a router in the event of a power cut. I never lose internet in the UK when we have power cuts I think our local exchanges have battery backup also.

By the way, they just tell me that they plan to release a full local version in Q1 2026

That would be ideal. Since my comment about internet being reliable the Bluetti cloud servers went down again for some time a few days ago.

That’s really interesting!
My home automation is based on Hubitat Elevation and I plan to integrate my Elite 200 V2 to it.
Can’t wait to do it!
