crash got a reaction from kellerza in Home Assistant Inverter Integration OptionsHey @kellerza
I've been pondering switching over to your HA addon, currently I'm using the Node Red flows (for reading) and have finally become brave enough to get the Node Red UI to write settings back to the inverter. I'm wanting to "upgrade" to the HA addon so that I can use HA to easily send settings back to my inverter.
My question: I've got 2 inverters in parallel, how does the HA addon handle this? Currently I've got 2 USB cables (1 from each inverter) going to the RPi and I duplicated the flows.

crash got a reaction from Sc00bs in My Sunsynk 8Kw & data collection setupHey @kellerza. Does this addon assume that the HA server is connected to the RS48?
(I've got a Pi by the inverter dropping to my separate HA server)

crash got a reaction from Yellow Measure in Finally pulled the solar trigger.Hey guys,
Hope you're all well. Almost done with my install, it was nearly completed on Thursday\Friday and today they're coming back to do the final bits of neatening up and configuring everything properly. This has definitely been a learning curve for me, and some of it still is a bit of a mystery but I'm sure that I'll figure it out in due time.
My household is pretty heavy on electricity, and typically we're using 50Kwh per day (1500/ month). Definitely not great to get that bill from Eskom each month. I'm also working from home (and so is the wife) and loadshedding is causing massive hassles to our work so this also solves that problem.
I have quite a few large trees around my house (some in my yard and some in the neighbours yard) and also my roof space to get the best sun is rather lacking so I've had to try and make the best of what I can.
So the setup that I went for:
2x 8kw Sunsynk Inverters
1x 15/12kwh Freedom Won Lite Battery
25x 540W panels
The panels are scattered all over the roof, so I have 8 in one area, 12 in the second area, and 5 in the last area.
I'm hoping to change some of the household habits to that during the day we use mainly PV (grid if really high usage) and charge the battery all day and then run on the battery through the night (with some grid if required).
Also a huge nerd here, and (slowly) doing my Home Assistant home automation which I'd like to get this all integrated into.
Looking forward to being part of the community, pretty sure I've got thousands of questions.
