Smart Savings

Hi, EcoFlow friends! 👋In our last discussion, we explored Power Your Home, Your Way — because every home has its own energy needs and daily routines. But the right power setup is only half the story. Small everyday habits can make it work even better.Here are a few examples:✅ Run energy-hungry appliances during off-peak hours.☀️ Check the weather forecast to make the most of sunny days for solar charging.🔌 Unplug electronics when they're not in use.🔋 Keep your power station topped up before busy days.Over time, these little routines become second nature.💬 What's one power habit you follow without even thinking about it?What got you started? Does it save you money, time, or stress? Or are you still figuring out what works best?Share your habit below. You might inspire someone else to pick up a new one! 👇

I have excess lumber lying around so I had this crazy idea of making my own dolly. After a quick trip to Harbor Freight to get some wheels, I was set to work on my project. I wanted it taller and more heavy duty than HF dollies. After measuring, making cuts, drilling, putting on the screws, more cutting and gluing and it was done. I wanted it to look nice for the TITAN so I used extra flooring planks that I had to finish the project.

I just switched to the regular app from the Beta app as suggested by the other beta testers. It went well.I was a bit reluctant to switch back since the beta app was working fine and I would have to set up everything again. Well, I was surprised that my settings were kept. Charging and discharging based on Scheduled Tasks I set in the beta App were still there. I just made an adjustment to the time by adding an hour to my previous schedules. The only items lost were the grid and solar energy data. That's okay. Everything work's as expected.If you get a SHP10 and TITAN, just know that once you are commissioning the units and updating, you'll hear a lot of switches clicking on both units, one is a bit louder than the others. But don't worry, they'rejust preparing to do their job.

I see lots of posts that are all sunshine and roses, but minor gripes about the T5K+ and SHP10 are:(1) TITAN fan noise with high solar input or heavy loads is noticeable. It’s not nearly as loud as a DP which sounds like a data center, but not as quiet as DPU/DPU X/DP3 which are nearly silent.(2) SHP10 will make loud thumping noises when switching from grid up to grid down. These are the big relays switching stuff internally(3) DPU and DPU X come with wheeled dollies, so I don’t understand why TITAN did not. (4) TITAN 5k+ comes with one HP500 solar adapter when it has two ports. It would have been nice to have two adapters instead the box instead of oneSince I have my systems in the garage, noise isn’t necessarily an issue but if you have a small house or the main breaker panel is near your bedrooms, you might consider finding a location for the TITAN/SHP10 that won’t get in the way of sleep.

Here is my home backup setup featuring the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra paired with the Smart Home Panel 2. Clean power, seamless backup transition, and total peace of mind when the grid goes down.Huge fan of how clean and reliable this ecosystem is.

Hi, my name is Luke and I am an Ecoholic. EcoFlow has blessed me with a TITAN 5000 Plus (I named her Patience) and a Smart Home Panel 10 (Two-Fry). I’ve been using the pair for a little more than a week and they run a few circuits in my household until I bring my 40 panel ground mount online, then the T5K+ can have way too much solar so I’ll add more loads. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about this exciting new product. In a nutshell, if you already have a pair of DPs, a DP3, a DPU, or a DPU X connected to a manual transfer switch, SHP1, SHP2, or SHP3 then you probably don’t need a TITAN nor an SHP10. But if you are a RIVER or DELTA owner thinking of upgrading to add some solar or arbitraging power grid rates, then TITAN and SHP10 are worth considering. I’ll unpack more details as I do more real-world testing on my house which currently has:1. TITAN 5000 Plus feeding an SHP10 2. DPU X feeding a 50a manual transfer switch3. DPU X feeding a EF PowerPulse EV Charger feeding a Rivian bypassing the house electrical system4. Three DPUs planned for an SHP2 which hasn’t been wired up yet

First, a big thank you to EcoFlow for giving me the opportunity to be part of this field trial! I’ve had the TITAN for a couple of weeks now and have already put it through load tests and outage simulations. I was able to reach 7.5 kW during a load test without any issues. The system has been working flawlessly, and I’m really impressed with how whisper quiet it is. I’m also loving the Smart Panel 10 and being able to control individual circuits throughout the house.Next up are some solar tests, which I’m really looking forward to. I have plenty of ideas for things I want to try, and I’ll be sharing my results as I go! ☀️🔋

My Positive Experience Beta Testing the EcoFlow TITAN Plus and Smart Home Panel 10. Having been beta testing the new EcoFlow TITAN Plus and Smart Home Panel 10, I have been able to follow this system’s development firsthand. I believe EcoFlow is working toward something that could make a real difference in how homeowners approach backup power and energy independence. What excites me most is the potential to combine battery storage, solar charging, and household circuit management into one integrated solution. For those of us who experience hurricanes, tropical storms, and unexpected power outages, having dependable backup power is more than a convenience. It provides peace of mind when the electrical grid is unavailable. My interest in this technology comes from personal experience. I already use an EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max with two extra batteries to power my small 6-by-8-foot Runaway Rangerunner trailer. My setup supports everything from air conditioning and refrigeration to lighting, fans, television, and charging my devices. It has demonstrated to me just how practical battery-based power can be when you need it most. That experience is one reason I was excited to beta test the TITAN Plus and Smart Home Panel 10. I see considerable potential in bringing similar advantages to residential applications, allowing homeowners to select essential circuits, take advantage of solar energy, and maintain important household functions during an outage.

After getting my new Titan 5000 and SHP10 up and running, I was anxious to see how it handled powering an ordinary day in my life, with the grid down. But first, a little background: our home is about 2400 sq ft, with no solar input. The SHP10 is handling the Hot Water Heater, Dishwasher, Microwave, Washing Machine, Freezer, Refrigerator, Lights and ceiling fans in Sunroom, Kitchen, 3 Bedrooms, Great Room, and Dining Room, most Outlets throughout the house, Lights, exhaust fans and outlets in 3 bathrooms, and Garage lights and Garage Door openers. For my Test, I turned off the main breaker at 11:42AM. The change over was seamless. Nothing flickered. Titan was charged to 80%. I went about my usual business all day, no energy conservation, and the battery hit 0% at 6:35PM. Here’s what was in use:Freezer, Refrigerator, Lights in Kitchen (4 LEDs) and sometimes Great Room, bathrooms, Router, Sunroom Double Ceiling Fan, 2 Shark Air Purifiers, Hot Water Heater, Alarm System, Wyze Camera.I used my full sized blender to make a smoothie. Made hot tea twice in my 1200w kettle. Cooked lunch and dinner on an induction cooktop. The wattage was 900 and 1700, respectively. I was also washing dishes and cleaning, which was using up the hot water. Honestly, I think I would have gotten several more hours of energy out of the battery if it wasn’t for the hot water heater. The Titan was reading 72% at 12:26PM when the hot water went through its first re-heat. It drew around 4.19kW (sometimes more), and by 1:20PM, the battery had dropped to 58%. The App turned off the water heater around 4:30PM, when the battery hit 50%. Around 6:20 PM, received a notification from the App that the battery was at 10%, and I could extend power by turning off some of the breakers. But I just let them run, and the battery hit zero just a few minutes afterward.I was very pleased with how well the equipment performed. Excellent product!#EcoFlowTITAN #Life With Titan. #HomeBackup

Hi, EcoFlow fam! 👋When planning a backup power setup, one common question is: How many watts does a refrigerator use?Refrigerators are essential during power outages and off-grid stays, but their power consumption can vary significantly. One important factor that’s often overlooked is the compressor’s startup surge. ⚡Let’s talk about real-world usage. Share your experience with the community:🧊 What type of refrigerator do you have?⚡ What are its typical running wattage and startup surge?💡 Do you have any practical tips for powering it efficiently with your EcoFlow setup?Whether you use a compact mini fridge, a standard household refrigerator, or a large side-by-side model, we’d love to hear your real-world findings.Drop your refrigerator specs, EcoFlow setup, and useful tips in the comments below! 👇

One thing I’m really enjoying about the EcoFlow TITAN and SHP10 is being able to see all 10 circuits in real time through the app. It’s much easier to understand which parts of my house are using more electricity and how different loads affect overall consumption. I like being able to check individual circuits instead of just seeing one total number for the whole house. It’s been interesting seeing my home’s energy use from a different perspective!

This may be advertised as a home back up system, but in its heart of hearts it’s a more-than-capable portable battery station. Some say a major overkill. This is a great option for those folks who are crazy enough to use their DPUs in their Class A/B/C’s, travel trailers or fifth wheels. Pound for pound, it’s a lighter option without sacrificing inverter power. I’m preparing for my annual week-long autumn eastern sierras and Big Sur trip with my travel trailer and I’m bringing my Titan Plus along as my main power source. I’ll probably bring my Delta Pros in my truck cabin to charge with my dual alternator chargers and power dump into the Titan. I can’t wait to see how this setup will do. 😊

Thanks again to Ecoflow for allowing me to Test and Review this great new Product. Here are all the details about my installation, and the small challenges along the way.The Titan 5000 arrived first. Being curious, I plugged it in to charge, added the device to my app, and registered it. For warranty purposes, the App recognized it as a Titan 5000. But under Devices, it identified it as simply “Unknown 0000-80”. There was no manual found in the App. Once the SHP10 arrived, the Electrician (Ryan), came to begin the install. We had originally planned to put it in the garage, by the Breaker Box. But that would have put the new Panel behind a door and Ryan said that wouldn’t pass for code. So he installed it on my washroom wall, directly opposite of the Box in the garage. He placed the new box perfectly, and threaded all the wires in the SHP10 directly into the back of the breaker box. The next day, he came back to connect the wires, and things got interesting. He couldn’t get the SHP10 and Titan to sync up. Finally, he gave up, saying I needed to contact Ecoflow support. I was left overnight with no power from any of the connected circuits. The next day, Laura (my Ecoflow coordinator) said someone else had solved this problem by Unbinding, then Rebinding the devices. I did and it worked. Sort of. The App lead me through the setup, and once I picked my circuits and hit “continue”, there was a bright flash of light, a loud pop, red lights flashing on the Panel, and I think even a siren of sorts ( although that sound could have just been me squealing like a little girl as I jumped 3 feet in the air!). My App had an error message, and pointed to Water Heater wiring. Turns out the flash of light was all my electricity coming online, except the heater. Ryan came right over and fixed the wiring. I found that the water heater circuit was turned off in the App. Turned it on, everything synced, “Unknown”became Titan, and I was in business! Yay!

This video shows the little power door which slides up and down between the 5P8 port and the C20 AC input. The 5p8 connector is the exact same as the Power I/O adapter included with DPU and Infinity+ included with DP3 (not sure why EF keeps renaming this). I suspect some accessories for DPU and DPU X will work with the 5p8 port when the TITAN is not plugged into the SHP10. I will be testing this out methodically in the future. The C20 port is identical to the C20 used with DP3 and DPU (doesn’t exist for DPU X because it uses the Power I/O for AC input).This door is actually ingenious because it prevents you from trying to plug the TITAN into an AC outlet while it is also feeding the SHP10 via the 5P8 connection, thus creating a dangerous ground loop in your household electrical system. What it also means is that power users like me cannot use another DPU or DPU X with floating ground/neutrals to AC charge the TITAN like I can by adding a bunch of power stations into an EcoCentipede with other EF devices. I could unplug the TITAN from the SHP10, then use its 50a AC output and C20 AC input in that EcoCentipede, but that negates the usefulness of powering the rest of the house via SHP10. Nonetheless, I have a workaround by using a switched mode power supply (SMPS) to convert the output from a DPU/DPU X outlet to 110v DC then feed the solar inputs. I wish I had that second solar adapter that wasn’t included with the TITAN, but that will have to wait until they are available on the EF website so I can add the SMPS as an input option without having to constantly switch solar wires around manually.

Howdy! I’m Grace, and I am field testing the Titan 5000 and Smart Home Panel 10 bundle. Thank you to EcoFlow for giving me this opportunity to learn more about the system. Installation: This went mostly smooth. The work totaled a few hours, but occurred over two days because the electrician needed to find a compatible ENT connector. One was not provided at the end of cable bundle that goes through the main electrical panel. Field Testing: Honestly, testing has not been the best. I can’t figure out if the issues are from the testing app, the battery, the SHP, or my house. I feel it’s the testing app. The only time this setup works for me is when there is no grid power present. Not ideal! Setup was easy and a firmware update pushed to the SHP10. All commissioning and in-app tests passed. Scheduled Tasks work for charging, but not discharging the T5K through the SHP10. If I turn off Scheduled Tasks and turn it on again later, it won’t resume or start the task set during that time. The relay and inverter clicks in the panel and battery are loud too. Separately, I see large drops in the battery’s state of charge, but nothing shows in the app at the circuit level to explain. EcoFlow told me that my average low usage (~300-400W) could be the issue with the Operating Modes, and that an update is coming in November. I have done battery maintenance cycles, cut power to the SHP to reset, unbound/rebound the devices from the app, all to no avail. Each part of this setup works, just not together in my case. With this many challenges, I feel like I have to be missing something, a connection isn’t right, or I’m misunderstanding a feature. This can and should work! My next steps are to reach out to Support for help. I may also ask the electrician to come back and check everything again. I’ll continue to troubleshoot. This isn’t the initial update I thought I would post, but I have high hopes things will get sorted soon and EcoFlow will come through with some help.

I initially had this concern too like some of the beta testers. The reason it is not discharging is that both legs L1 & L2 should be in use and must exceed 150 watts on each leg. I have screenshots of my test today to show the wattage and TITAN discharging. I have reached out weeks ago to the Ecoflow TITAN team about it and this is their response:"... feedback from the team for your reference.1. From the information in picture 1 (from weeks ago), household appliances only have 270W. Battery power cannot be used at this time. This is in line with product design expectations. Our current discharge strategy is that each hot wire (L1 & L2) The power draw must exceed 150W for the unit to utilize battery power; this is primarily to prevent frequent switching of the power source during low-power operation."In hindsight, I should have paid more attention to the circuits I asked to be wired to the SHP10. I should have evenly distributed the circuits to ones I use the most and the ones with the most power draw. What I did was just number the circuits 1-10. So take note future SHP10/TITAN owners/users.I hope this helps other beta testers and future users.
