So you saying you can automate the charging of your battery based on solar forecast or loadshedding automatically, without you having to do anything?

Because with the ESP device it is basically realtime information, not 1min delayed. But the most important benefit is that you can change settings on your inverter via the ESP device. So for example you could set the inverter to charge the batteries before load shedding depending on the schedule which can change at any time. This would be all automatic.

How about this splitter: https://solar-assistant.io/shop/products/deye_rj45_split

@Sc00bs, I'm in Honeydew but working in Woodmead, so just down the road from you. Thank you so much, would really appreciate that. Will PM you my details.

They were, but didn't work so unsoldered them again to see if it worked. Should they be soldered together?

Unfortunately did that, no difference. 😞

Apologies @Sc00bs, I just copied and pasted but it didn't copy from the logs. See correct logs attached. Power is connected 100% Checked the cable to inverter is correct, orange/white on the left and orange on the right. Tried swopping around aswell, no difference. Also checked the TX and RX are correct, had them connected as follows : DI -> D17 (TX), RO -> D16 (RX) and RE -> D4 then swapped the TX and RX around, still nothing. I'm starting to wonder if the RS485 board is faulty.... logs.txt

Thank you @Sc00bs, I clearly missed that, was going on the diagram in your Youtube video 🤦‍♂️ BUT, I'm still not getting any readings at all. Just to confirm, are my connections correct : DI -> D17 (TX), RO -> D16 (RX) and RE -> D4 I've attached my latest yaml and log files. Deye.yamllogs.txt

Hi guys I also watched Solar Integrations Youtube videos, thank you very much, very helpful and informative. I'm also having issues trying to get my ESP32 and ESPHome to read data from my 5kW Deye inverter. I've gone through everything 2 or 3 times and can't figure out what the issue is. My device is set to Master and Modbus is 01 Connected my cables to D4, D16 and D17 which is GPIO4, GPIO15 and GPIO16 according to the diagram That then connects to the RS485 board as follows, also removed resistor R7. DI -> D17, RO -> D16 and RE -> D4 My ethernet cable : I get the following from my logs : logs.txt And my config yaml file is : Deye.yaml

Anywhere that will give decent prices in Gauteng for gel batteries?

I have sent the document to Deye for confirmation

I received this regarding the Volta - Deye agreement... Deye-VOLTA - 10 Year Warranty Certificate.pdf

I've seen a few guys recommend the Solis, may I ask why you say it's better than the SunSynk?
