Automate BG Home and GoodWe SemsPortal from your AI assistant
Ask ChatGPT to create BG Home applets for you, right from your AI assistant, with IFTTT MCP.
Set up IFTTT MCP
Create your own BG Home and GoodWe SemsPortal workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
9 triggers, queries, and actions
Body induction
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires when the status of the body induction（PIR Detector） change
Device turns on or off
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires when a device turns on or off
PV metric drops below a limit
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
Fires when a defined PV metric drops below a limit.
PV metric exceeds a limit
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
Fires when a defined PV metric exceeds a limit.
Current PV metric value or it's history
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
Returns the value of the defined PV metric in a given period.

About GoodWe SemsPortal
This service enables you to create your home automation based on the metrics from your GoodWe inverter. It periodically reads new data from SemsPortal and fires triggers when defined limits are reached.
By using metrics like Pmeter (W), Power (W) or SOC (%) you can trigger actions when your PV starts/stops providing enough excess solar energy or when your battery is charged/drained.
Tip: Combine these triggers with an electric heater or a mobile air conditioning unit in a smart plug to effectively get a watt router without the need for additional devices!
Important: The triggers fire 'on the edge', not 'on the level'. This means that for example the trigger "PV metric exceeds a limit" fires only when the value goes from below the limit to above the limit. It then does not fire until the value drops below and exceeds the limit again.
Future plans: Currently the service polls SemsPortal for new data every 5 minutes (no matter what IFTTT plan you have). However, your GoodWe inverter provides new data every single minute. So that you can get the most out of your inverter, we are planning to increase the download frequency to one minute as part of a subscription. Press the Visit button below for more details.
