BLUETTI App Guide: Features for Easy Power Station Management from Your Phone

Not long ago, managing a home power system meant relying on physical dials, switches, and manual checks. Today, that level of control feels outdated. The BLUETTI App transforms your smartphone into a smart energy command center, giving you the power to monitor system status, customize performance, and even save money on your electricity bills—all from the palm of your hand. Think of it as the brain behind your BLUETTI power station, unlocking its full potential with just a few taps. Whether you are managing a 100kWh whole-home backup or a single mobile unit, the 3.0 interface is designed to make your energy ecosystem smarter, more transparent, and—most importantly—more profitable.

First Steps: Seamless Login & Customization

1. Unified Access & Quick Entry

Efficiency starts at login. Create a single account by providing an email and verification code. This secure account lets you manage all your BLUETTI devices from one place. You can further manage your security preferences in the app's Security Center. The App 3.0 utilizes a unified account system shared with the BLUETTI official store. This means your "BLUETTI Bucks" and order history are integrated directly into your cockpit. For rapid onboarding, the app supports third-party logins (Apple, Google, etc.), ensuring you spend less time entering passwords and more time optimizing your power.

2. Offline Mode: The Off-Grid Essential

For the overland adventurer navigating the outback or remote mountain trails, internet is a luxury, not a given. The "Bluetooth Direct" functionality is a critical failsafe. It allows you to manage and monitor devices within a 10-meter range without an internet connection or account binding. This peer-to-peer connection ensures that even in "communication shadows," you retain full control over your charging parameters and output toggles.

3. Visual and Functional Accessibility

To ensure visibility in high-glare environments or dim cabins, the app offers robust customization:

• Appearance: Toggle between Dark and Light modes.

• Readability: Adjustable font sizes, with a "Huge" setting for rapid-glance monitoring.

• Language Support: Over 12 languages, including English, German, Japanese, and French.

Navigating the Hubs: The App Ecosystem

The interface is structured into five core hubs for streamlined navigation:

• Home: Your live dashboard for real-time telemetry and I/O control.

• Community: A peer-to-peer exchange for technical tips and expert insights.

• Mall: Direct access to the hardware ecosystem, including expansion batteries like the B300K and B500K.

• Service: A repository for technical manuals, troubleshooting guides, and video tutorials.

The Dashboard: Real-Time Monitoring & Connection

Three Ways to Connect

Binding a device is straightforward: use Bluetooth discovery, scan the hardware's unique QR code, or manually enter the Serial Number (SN).

Unlocking "Pro Mode"

To access high-level parameters, navigate to Advanced Settings > Max Grid Input Current. By entering the technician code "88888888"(eight 8s), you can unlock the "Pro Mode" to adjust current limits from 12A up to 50A (hardware permitting). This is essential for tailoring your system to specific shore power or generator limits.

Visual Oversight & Weather Integration

The dashboard displays up to three devices simultaneously, showing State of Charge (SOC) and real-time runtime calculations. A location-based weather widget is also integrated, allowing you to anticipate solar yield. If a storm is approaching, the app’s smart integration helps you decide whether to top off from the grid or rely on PV.

Advanced Device Control & The "Visual Status Bar"

1. Remote Power Management

Unlike previous iterations, the App 3.0 supports both Remote Power-Off and Remote Power-On (available for models like the Apex 300).

Note: Remote Power-On typically requires the unit to be in a standby/sleep state rather than a hard physical "off" position. This allows you to "wake" your system from your phone to start a pre-charge or prepare for a load.

2. The Status Bar & "Lifting Power"

The visual icons provide one-tap access to critical features:

• Power Lifting Mode: Specifically designed for resistive loads (kettles, heaters, hair dryers) up to 7,680W (Apex 300) or 3,900W (Elite 400). Warning: This mode is not for sensitive electronics with motors or compressors.

• Silent Mode: Caps charging (e.g., at 500W) to reduce fan noise for nighttime use.

• Turbo Charge: Maxes out AC input current for 0-80% replenishment in as little as 45-70 minutes.

• Child Lock: Disables physical hardware buttons to prevent accidental tampering.

The Money Saver: AI-Driven Economic Optimization

1. Utility Rate Integration

The App 3.0 allows you to input your specific utility pricing (Fixed or Dynamic/TOU). This transforms the app into a financial tracker, showing you exactly how much money the system is saving you.

2. SolarX 4K Integration

For those pursuing total energy independence, the app allows for the configuration of high-voltage solar strings (up to 500V) when using the SolarX 4K accessory. This allows the Apex 300 to handle a massive 4,000W of PV input, significantly shortening the ROI period.

3. AI Energy Management

In "Dynamic Mode," the app uses AI to manage your charging schedule. It avoids peak utility rates by charging during off-peak hours and discharging during the most expensive times of day. With smart peak-load shifting, the Apex 300 is designed to pay for itself in as little as 2 years.

Data Insights: Tracking Energy & Carbon

For IoT-enabled and bound devices, the app provides high-resolution data logging:

• 5-Minute Interval Data: View SOC and power curves with 5-minute precision for the last 30 days.

• Interactive History: Switch between Day, Month, Year, and Total views to track your "Dark to Green" journey.

• Carbon Footprint: Real-time tracking of CO2 emission reductions based on solar offset.

• Log Export: You can export these high-resolution logs directly to your email for professional energy auditing in CSV format.

Pro-Level Settings & UPS Mode Selection

Device Sharing

In the Personal Center, you can generate a Sharing QR Code. This allows up to five family members to gain control of the system, ensuring everyone in the household can monitor backup status during an emergency.

UPS Mode Deep Dive

The App 3.0 provides specialized logic for how your system interacts with the grid.

Note: The Elite 400 offers a 15ms switchover, while the Elite 10 and 30 V2 offer a pro-grade 10ms response.

Smart Performance & Maintenance

1. Fighting "Vampire Drain"

We recommend using the app to manage ECO Mode. By setting the app to automatically shut off inactive ports, you eliminate "vampire drain." The Apex 300 has an ultra-low AC idle draw of 18W–20W, and the Elite 400 is even more efficient with a 3W standby. Toggling these via the app ensures your capacity isn't wasted on an empty inverter.

2. Managing the Heat: The WA Outback Scenario The operating range for BLUETTI hardware is 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C). In extreme environments, temperatures often exceed 104°F, causing the unit to halt charging to protect the cells.

• Pro-Tip: Use the app to monitor internal temperatures while your vehicle's AC is running. By "pre-cooling" the battery during your drive, you can lower the core temperature enough to accept a heavy solar charge once you reach your destination.

3. Safety & Firmware

• Extreme Weather Alerts: The app sends push notifications during severe forecasts, triggering an automatic "Emergency Backup" charge to ensure you hit 100% before the grid fails.

• One-Tap OTA Updates: Ensure your IOT and ARM firmware are updated (look for version v2200.12 or higher). This fixes common TOU time zone calibration errors. The App 3.0 can update an Apex 300 and its B300K expansion batteries simultaneously in under 10 minutes.

• Charging Customization: Tailor your AC charging speed with four distinct modes: Silent (for quiet, overnight charging), Standard, Turbo, and Custom. In Custom mode, you can precisely adjust the grid input current (e.g., from 1A to 15A) to match your circuit's capacity.
