What is a Network scan?
A network scan allows your Blixt to automatically search for compatible energy devices on your local network — such as solar inverters, batteries, and smart meters.
Once connected, the energy device will appear in the app and begin sharing live data.
Will the scan affect my network?
Will the scan affect my network?
Temporarily, yes — the scan may cause a brief drop in performance, but it runs in the background and is network-safe.

I don’t see any devices after the scan, what should I do?
If no energy devices show up after the scan, try running the scan again — sometimes it can take a moment for devices to respond.
If the scan still doesn’t detect anything or you’re unable to locate your device, read our troubleshooting article, you can also add the device manually using a custom integration. To do this, you’ll typically need to enter the device’s IP address, port number, and Slave ID, though these requirements may vary depending on the manufacturer.
Your device may require Modbus TCP to be enabled before it can be detected. Learn how to enable Modbus TCP for your inverter brand.
