Solar, battery, and thermostat device coverage expansion | What’s new in Texture
We’ve been hard at work at Texture adding breadth and depth to OEM device coverage. In this week's “What’s new in Texture?” we’re highlighting development work across thermostats, solar, and battery hardware. Some are integrations with new devices, allowing your customers to connect to the platform for the first time.
Some are improvements to integrations that already existed, and of course, we’ve fixed a few bugs along the way.
As ever, you can follow along in real time at Release Notes | Texture Docs.
#Expanded solar & battery coverage
Generac: new integration
Customers can now connect Generac PWR Cell 2 to Texture. This brings Generac equipment into the platform's standard connection and monitoring flow. To connect Generac devices, head to the Integration Hub inside the Texture platform or send residential homeowners through Texture Connect.
AlsoEnergy: new integration
AlsoEnergy is now fully integrated. The platform can discover hardware and handle alert management for AlsoEnergy equipment. Customers using AlsoEnergy can monitor their devices and receive alerts through the same interface as everything else.
SMA: new integration
SMA is now supported on Texture including device connections and device alerts. Customers can import third-party-owned devices through Texture’s Bulk Import tool or use Texture Connect for residential systems via OAuth authorization. Head to the Integration Hub to find bulk import and more.
SolarEdge: alert ingestion
SolarEdge alert processing has been to our SolarEdge integration, allowing for device level alerts to connected SolarEdge systems on Texture.
#Expanded thermostat coverage
Sensi: new integration
Sensi smart thermostats are now fully integrated with webhook-based architecture for real-time state updates. Customers can connect their Sensi devices for monitoring and full thermostat control.
Schedule pause/resume for Ecobee, Honeywell, and Sensibo
All three thermostat integrations now support pausing and resuming device schedules. Customers can temporarily override programmed schedules without deleting their configurations, then return to normal operation when ready. This works the same way across all three manufacturers.
Honeywell: temperature unit fix
Honeywell thermostats configured in Celsius mode were displaying incorrect temperature values due to the system not converting Celsius readings to Fahrenheit correctly. That's fixed.
Honeywell: state caching and real-time event handling
We added state caching and real-time event processing for Honeywell thermostats. Device state changes sync automatically, and the integration now supports multiple event endpoints, which means faster, more reliable updates.
