Hi everyone,

Lately, the volume of referral code spam has gotten pretty bad. It's cluttering the main feed and making the subreddit much harder to use, especially for new users.

We absolutely recognize that these codes are valuable and we want everyone to continue benefiting from them, so we aren't banning them completely. Instead, we are giving them a dedicated home. To improve overall post quality, this sticky thread is now the ONLY place referral codes are allowed on the subreddit.

How this thread works:

• The New Rule: Drop your referral links in the comments below. Going forward, any referral codes posted outside this thread (whether in standalone posts or regular comment sections) will be automatically removed.
• Fair Play (Contest Mode): To ensure everyone gets an equal chance, this thread is set to "Contest Mode." This means the comment order is completely randomized every time the page is refreshed, and vote scores are hidden. There is no "early bird" advantage, so everyone's code has a fair shot at being seen.
• The Scope: Please note that this applies to ALL referrals. This includes links for Sigenergy hardware purchases, local solar/battery installers, and energy export tariffs (like Octopus Energy).
• Normal Rules still apply: No spamming your codes, one post per person in this thread, be nice and civil with each other.

I've gone through and deleted a bunch of posts from the last couple of months so if you've previously posted a code or referral link, you'll want to make a comment below.

Thanks for helping us keep the community tidy and focused. Drop your codes below! Don't forget to specify what region they're from as some are region specific.

Frustrating for me as I use Home Assistant to automate this and it works a treat.

I'm really struggling to find clear information on how the smart port works within the Sig gateway / app. I can see that you can set schedules for when the Smart port activates at all, but I want something a bit cleverer.

Essentially, I just want to know if it's possible to wire up a device to the smart port in such a way that I can use the app to dictate if it draws from Battery or grid. Ideally, I'd love to be able to control that via the Home Assistant integration.

So for example, say I have a heat pump wired up to the smart port. Most of the time I want it to pull from battery but if the EV initiates a smart charge (Off-peak rates for the whole home) then actually I'd rather it pulled from the grid instead. Does the smart port let you do that?

In fact, that's kind of the main use-case here, I need to get a 16A rotary switch installed for some Aircon. The switch will be going pretty much right next to the gateway, so to me it makes sense to have it wired into the smart port. My EV charger is currently separate from the Gateway so it always pulls from the Gid (by my request).

However, if the smart port does indeed let you decide if load should come from grid or batteries, then I could wire both the AC and the EV charger to the smart port and just have it pull from battery unless the EV decides to do a smart charge. Is that possible?

Give me strength.
