Authorized Apps
Third-party apps — smart-home platforms, energy optimisers, aggregators — can connect to your system through the AlphaESS OpenAPI, but only with your permission. The Authorized Apps page shows exactly who has access to what.
Reading the list
Apps are grouped per device. For each authorised app you see:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| App name | The third-party application (e.g. a smart-home platform) |
| Permissions | What the app may do — see below |
| authorized date | When you granted access |
Permission scopes
| Scope | The app can… |
|---|---|
| Telemetry | Read your system's measurement data (power, energy, battery level) |
| Location | See the location of your system |
| Control | Steer charging/discharging. (exclusive) means only this app may control the device — a second controlling app cannot be authorised at the same time |
Where do these authorisations come from?
When you connect a third-party service to your AlphaESS system (for example linking it in the partner's app), you approve an authorisation screen — the result is listed here. Review this page occasionally and remove access for apps you no longer use.
⚠️ An app with Control permission can change how your battery behaves. Only authorise services you trust, and note that an exclusive control authorisation blocks other apps from controlling the same device.
