EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 3 — what it actually does

SHP3 is how Ultra X becomes an automatic house instead of a stack of batteries in the garage. It is not a portable accessory. It is not a Tesla Gateway.

Install
EcoFlow or licensed electrician
  1. Only start here if Ultra X is the battery If you own or plan a DELTA 3, DELTA 3 Ultra Plus, or DELTA Pro 3, use the $399 transfer kit / inlet path instead.
  2. Treat $3,099 as hardware, not a finished job EcoFlow’s bundle prices ($10,999 / $13,999) are product-page hardware. Local labor, a main-panel adapter, and permitting are extra. Some regions have EcoFlow install service — that is still a scheduled visit.
  3. Map the 32 circuits before the truck arrives Keep fridge, medical, well/sump, furnace control, and internet. Shed range, dryer, EVSE, and most HVAC compressors unless you have sized the stack for them. Use the checklist.
  4. Confirm warranty on the checkout page Ultra X’s public page described a 5-year term when we checked. SHP3 is useless if the inverter behind it is out of support. Read the PDF, not a year-old review.
  5. If you can wait on an installer, get a Powerwall quote too Powerwall 3 is still the integrated 11.5 kW / 13.5 kWh appliance with a 10-year warranty. SHP3 + Ultra X is the orderable alternative, not a secret upgrade on Tesla hardware.
