See inside your Pytes battery, from anywhere in the house

A Pytes battery knows a lot about itself. Its BMS measures each cell, every temperature sensor, the current going in and out, how many cycles it has done and how healthy it still is. Most of that never reaches you: the inverter app shows a single percentage, and the rest stays behind the console port on the front panel.

MoniWatt for Pytes reads that port for you. You get the full picture of your E-Box 48100R or V5 on a 1.8-inch screen next to the battery, on a web dashboard you open from any browser at home, and as sensors in Home Assistant. No app to install, no cloud account required, and the box only reads: it never changes a setting in your battery.

What you get

01

Every cell, not just one number

Watch all cell voltages side by side and spot the one that drifts before it limits your whole bank.

02

Health you can trust

State of health, cycle count and remaining capacity, read straight from the Pytes BMS rather than estimated by the inverter.

03

Temperatures and alarms

Cell and board temperatures, protection flags and warnings, with an e-mail when something needs a look.

04

A screen by the battery

Charge level, power and status on the box itself, readable at a glance when you walk into the garage.

05

Home Assistant in one minute

MQTT discovery creates the sensors for you. A local JSON API is there for Node-RED, Jeedom or your own scripts.

06

Your data stays home

Everything runs on your Wi-Fi. Remote access and the history dashboard are optional, never required.

What a day of your battery looks like

The dashboard keeps the curve of the day: how fast the battery filled while the sun was up, how much the house pulled in the evening, and where the charge stood when the night started. You see at once whether your E-Box reached 100% or stopped short, and whether the evening load is eating more than you thought.

With the optional cloud history you can scroll back weeks and months, compare winter and summer, and export everything to CSV.

Up and running in three steps

Two sockets, no tools

The box has one RJ45 socket for the battery and one USB-C socket for power. The supplied cable goes from the console port of your Pytes battery to the box; any USB phone charger powers it. It measures and sits on a shelf or screws to the wall next to the rack.

Pytes designed its batteries to talk the same console language as the most common 48 V rack batteries in Europe, which is why this box exists: the hardware is the one we already build and ship for Pylontech owners, with firmware tuned to the Pytes BMS.

Designed and assembled in France

Each box is prepared and tested in France before it ships, by the team that makes Pylon-Monitor for Pylontech owners.

Questions people ask first

Which Pytes batteries are supported?

We target the Pytes E-Box 48100R and the V5 family, which share the console port this box reads. If you have another Pytes model, tell us which one when you order: we will check it before shipping, and if it turns out not to be supported you get a full refund.

Why is it a pre-order?

Each box is prepared for the Pytes model you tell us about, loaded with its Pytes firmware and tested on Pytes hardware before it is packed. That takes a little time, and we prefer a box that works on day one to a fast parcel.

When will it ship?

On 10 November 2026: this is a pre-order. If we cannot make it, we refund you in full unless you choose to wait. You can also cancel at any time before shipping.

Will it interfere with my inverter?

No. The inverter talks to the battery through the CAN or RS485 port, which you leave untouched. MoniWatt for Pytes uses the separate console port and only reads.
