Thanks, yes I've removed the old addon, all seems to be fine. Thanks As for the distinction between Add-on and integration. It is more from the Home Assistant POV, what is the difference. To my mind Octopus, Hive etc are doing a similar job to SolarSynk - talking to some cloud API and updating entities etc. Yours is an add-on and others are integrations. I'm just curious why there are two mechanisms for doing seemingly similar jobs, and what the pros and cons of each are. Anyway, thanks for the hard work you've put in to this!

Thanks, Google was not quite right - this is an Add-on, not an integration. (I'm still not clear what the distinction is) But yes, the add-on repository needs adding to Home assistant, then install and configure with your sunsynk username and password, and an access token (I used the same one from the old version). Then I noticed in the logs that it wants me to create a helper for settings, so followed those instructions. I then stopped the old v2 add-on Probably a HA issue, but the friendly name for the old and new entities are the same. I was trying to use the History view to see if it was getting data. It shows me two entities called "Battery SOC", but no way to see the actual entity ID to see which is from v2 and which is from v3 Hopefully the v2 ones will disappear after some time/reboots? Hmm, I've just realised where the instructions are: Not here: https://github.com/martinville/solarsynkv3 But here https://github.com/martinville/solarsynkv3/blob/main/DOCS.md

Hi, Are there instructions on how to install v3? I didn't see any here. GitHubGitHub - martinville/solarsynkv3: Integrate your Sunsynk...Integrate your Sunsynk account with Home Assistant for real-time solar energy monitoring. Track power generation, battery storage, and grid usage while enabling smart automations and custom alerts....

Hi, I think there has been a regression with the latest update. My battery SOC is often reporting as 0 I've disabled my battery full notification for now

I'd say that a single source repository is going to be easiest to maintain. However, it feels like there is maybe a different way of achieving this. Keep in mind I know nothing about HA development, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a way to have optional entities. Maybe determined by the config? Also, I'm not sure of the difference between Add-ons and Integrations. But Most other things of this type (Octopus, MyEnergi, Hive) are Integrations in HA, do they work differently? Maybe they have better control of the entities?

Great stuff, that seems to have solved it. I don't see anything unusual in the logs What's the API endpoint for the curl call?

I've been using this for a few weeks now, seems very good. Couple of things I've noticed: After a reboot/update Entities seem to disappear from HA, but come back after a few minutes. I have a flow set up to tell me when the battery is full if battery SOC >=100 for 5 minutes then notify Over the last few days I've found it got triggered a lot. I assumed maybe something was using enough battery to pull it down to 99% then it goes back up to 100 and triggers another notification. However, looking in HA I see there are gaps in the data. This seems to have started a few days ago. Any ideas what is going on with that?

Thanks, I did actually skip that step as I thought it was getting node red talking to HA (Which I previously had working) but maybe I was mistaken - certainly wouldn't be the first time I did go for the v2 flows, assuming they would be more up-to-date? I'll go through the steps again and try not to skip any this time. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking for some help with getting my SunSynk data into HA again. I previously had this working, I set it up a good few months ago. But now SunSynk have moved my account from Region 1 to Region 2, I didn't get any data any more. I've tried removing the old gather flow and yaml changes. I then followed the instructions on the wiki page on github https://github.com/gdwaterworth/Home-Assistant---E-Linter-Logger---Sunsynk/wiki My username/password are in the secrets.yaml file. I've restarted home assistant. I don't see any data, and I see errors in Node Red I see errors on the function node "Setup Global Vars" saying "No Item Set" Any ideas what to look at? Thanks J
