THE PROBLEM

Your battery could be earning you more.

Same battery, same sun — completely different results depending on your energy plan. Pick your retailer below to see the difference.

Idle 16+ hrs/day

Factory defaults only work during solar hours. Overnight and at peak your battery sits idle.

Every plan is different

AGL peak windows, Amber spot rates, Globird off-peak — the right schedule depends on your tariff.

Rona adapts

Reads your tariff, watches the weather, and controls your battery 24/7 — built for your plan and hardware.

The bottom line: You already invested in solar and a battery. Rona makes sure that investment actually earns its keep — for your plan, your battery, working autonomously.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Zero cloud.

From order to optimised in minutes — your credentials never leave your home network.

  1. 01

    Hardware Matching

    Select your inverter and energy plan. We pre-load the logic and dashboard architecture for your specific home before it leaves our workshop.

  2. 02Privacy-First

    Rona Local Wizard

    Your keys, your castle. Plug in the Hub and follow our 60-second local wizard. You enter your inverter and retailer credentials directly into your device. We never see your passwords, and they never leave your home.

    Enter your details directly into your device. We never see your credentials.
  3. 03

    Plug in and Save

    Your dashboard wakes up instantly. It begins automating your energy flow, tracking dynamic prices, and keeping your data private and fast.

Cloud-Free & Local-Only

Every Rona Hub runs entirely on your local network. No data leaves your house — no subscriptions, no third-party cloud dependency. Your energy data is yours: private, fast, and available even when the internet is down.

No cloudNo subscriptionsAlways local

Powered by Home Assistant Green

The Rona Hub is built on the world-class Home Assistant Green hardware. We provide the expert pre-configuration and energy-optimization layer so you get the power without the 'homework'. No writing code, no editing YAML files, no weekend-long tutorials — just plug in and start saving with Home Assistant right out of the box.

BUILT FOR TRUST

Local-first. Privacy by default.

Your home, your rules. Everything runs on your network with no cloud dependency.

Your data stays home

All processing happens on-device. No data leaves your property.

Internet-Outage Proof

Most smart homes go 'dumb' when the web goes down. Because Rona is Local-Only, it keeps optimising your battery and saving you money even if your street is offline.

No vendor lock-in

Open-source Home Assistant at its core. You own the hardware, the software, and your data. Forever.

TARIFF SMART

Pre-configured for your exact plan.

When you register, we collect your inverter and retailer details. Before your Hub ever leaves our workshop, our team pre-loads your specific tariff schedules and automations. When it arrives, you just plug it in and it immediately begins optimising your rate structure.

Dynamic Pricing

e.g. Amber Electric

Real-time wholesale pricing. Add your Amber API key during setup and the Hub automatically shifts your loads to the cheapest windows from day one.

Time-of-Use

e.g. AGL, Origin & more

Peak, shoulder, off-peak. We pre-program your rate schedule so the Hub charges your battery before peak kicks in -- right out of the box.

Solar Sponge

e.g. Synergy & others

Ultra-cheap midday rates designed for solar homes. Your sponge windows are pre-loaded from your plan details at signup — the Hub maximises self-consumption from the moment you plug it in.

One kit. Every tariff structure.

Switch retailers after receiving? No problem. Fill in an update form and we'll reconfigure your Hub remotely -- whether you're on flat rate, time-of-use, demand, or dynamic wholesale pricing.

OUR MISSION

Complex tech, made invisible.

An Australian family relaxing at home, enjoying the comfort of an automated smart home

True home automation -- the kind that actually saves you money -- has been locked behind coding, server management, and hours of tinkering. Most families are shut out simply because they aren't IT experts.

We believe you shouldn't need a computer science degree to save money on your power bill or have a home that anticipates your needs.

The power of Home Assistant, without the homework.

Rona takes enthusiast-grade technology and packages it into plug-and-play kits for everyday Australian families.
