The company will show the hybrid system for the Australian and New Zealand market, plus two software tools for homeowners and installers, at Booth HH135 on 28 and 29 October.
MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FranklinWH, a global leader in whole-home energy management and battery storage, will unveil a multi-phase hybrid battery system for the Australian and New Zealand markets at All Energy Australia 2026. It will also preview two software tools, Energy Optimiser for FranklinWH App users and the Connect Portal for installers.
Taking place Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October 2026 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC). At Booth HH135, FranklinWH will showcase its multi-phase hybrid home energy system and software tools.
Multi-phase hybrid system
The multi-phase hybrid system connects battery storage directly to the solar panels, which simplifies installation and reduces wiring.
Homeowners may select a streamlined setup with a built-in aPower controller for essential energy management, or add an external FranklinWH aGate controller for greater flexibility. The aGate supports additional solar, generators, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and Smart Circuits, which manage individual household loads.
"Our hybrid system connects the battery straight to the solar panels, so there is less wiring to run, and it pulls apart to fit through tight spaces. At All Energy we're looking forward to showing installers the multi-phase design that will enable more Australian households to achieve energy freedom," said Ke Bi, global CEO at FranklinWH.
Both setups support single, split and three-phase grids, so the hybrid system suits properties from urban homes to larger properties with heavy loads.
Software
Alongside the hardware, FranklinWH will preview two software tools. One aims to help households get more value from their batteries, and the other aims to reduce installation time for installers.
Energy Optimiser
Traditional home energy management systems rely on fixed time-of-use (TOU) schedules that charge and discharge batteries during preset windows and offset grid electricity only at peak hours. Static schedules fall short when a household's usage and the weather depart from the tariff timetable. Energy Optimiser replaces fixed routines with predictive decisions.
By analysing real-time tariffs, solar forecasting, consumption habits and the battery's state of charge, it adjusts when the battery charges and discharges, directing stored energy to any period of high value rather than a single peak window.
Connect Portal
Connect Portal is an online platform for FranklinWH's installer partners. It automates qualification reviews to speed up approvals, lets installers manage team members, training and certifications in one place, and connects certified installers with qualified homeowner leads.
"A fixed schedule treats every day the same, and no two days are the same, so Energy Optimiser reads the tariff, the solar forecast and how a household actually uses power, then adjusts the battery to match. The Connect Portal handles qualification reviews, training and certifications, and it puts certified installers in touch with qualified homeowner leads," said Ke Bi.
Visitors to Booth HH135 can see live demonstrations of the hybrid system and previews of both software tools.

FranklinWH to debut multi-phase hybrid battery system and new software technology at All Energy Australia 2026
New Maximalism, Hot Pink and Classic Christmas effects offer an easy starting point to elevate holiday lighting at home with a stunning vintage twist
BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Govee today launched its "Just One. Magic Happens." campaign in collaboration with creative director and designer Brady Tolbert, showing how one tap can bring a nostalgic vintage light show to life. At the heart of the campaign are three new Vintage Preset Lighting Effects—Maximalism, Hot Pink, and Classic Christmas—that make it easy to create a retro-inspired holiday look. Each preset offers a ready-made starting point that users can personalize to complement their home and holiday decor.
Balancing Vintage Charm with Modern Style
To help people bring these vintage-inspired looks into their homes, Govee is collaborating with renowned designer Brady Tolbert. With a background in interior design, prop styling, and creative direction, Tolbert brings an expert perspective on how to incorporate nostalgic lighting displays into thoughtfully styled spaces, blending vintage-inspired charm with cohesive, design-forward interiors.
"When decorating for the holidays, it's all about warmth and layering on the light for me. A vintage Christmas always feels like soft, amber light with pops of those vintage red and green colors we all grew up with. So I love to stick with the classic warm-toned lights and steer away from anything that feels too bright or cool, then I'll use smart lighting to adjust the color and brightness depending on the vibe that I am going for. It allows it to feel nostalgic and cozy, but still fresh and playful." says Tolbert.
An Easy Way to Bring Retro Style Home for the Holidays
Built-in vintage-inspired presets make achieving a full vintage light show as simple as selecting a theme, whether heritage-inspired maximalism, bold hot-pink, or classic Christmas warm tones. Just one light delivers a complete, magic light show out of the box, which users can easily customize to complement their existing decor.
