What pi are you using? I have a raspberry pi 1b but see they are not officially supported. Don’t want to purchase SA if it won’t work there

Hey guys i noticed on Solar Assistant website that the raspberry pi 1 is not officially supported however “has been used by some users” just wondering if any of you have had experience with this? I have a spare pi 1b around so would prefer to use that instead of purchasing a new one. im thinking of going this route and integrating SA into home assistant to be able to read and write in real time back to my Deye 5kw inverter. thanks for your help

@Sc00bs Are you able to use Home Assistant in this setup to also change your inverter settings? If so I would love to know how you set this up. I have a 5kw Deye which should work the same as your sunsynk curently I have the SOLARMAN WiFi logger running but I have ordered a rs to usb cable from the solar assistant website. I am not able to change the inverter settings without this cable from what I understand thanks for your help

That looks great thank you! I will give it a go. Just ordered rs to usb cable

Unfortunately I can only view. but that makes sense how you got that right. I think there is a way without needing Solar Assistant but I haven't found it yet

@mzezman I have home assistant running and have setup this integration https://github.com/StephanJoubert/home_assistant_solarman/blob/main/README.md However this only allows me to read from my Deye 5kw inverter and not write. What you are describing above is being able to write and change the inverter settings from HA? how did you manage to achieve that? I would love to know. thank you
