My Sunsynk 8Kw & data collection setup
Good evening Thanks for @slipxand @kellerza for the time and effort in the plugin / integration / dashboard. I am using a direct RS485 to USB converter from https://www.robotics.org.za/W17286?search=usb to rs485 Works great on my Single Phase 8kW SunSynk! I just renamed @kellerza's sensors to match that of the sunsynk-power-flow-card using "Find and Replace". However, I am actually trying to get a second 8kW in parallel on Singel Phase to connect. But I think I am missing something. Wiring done like this: With RS-485 Master = Waveshare RS485 to USB Device 1 = Master Inverter, Modbus address: 1 Device 2 = Slave Inverter, Modbus address: 2 (Device 3 = Future Slave 2 Inverter, Modbus address will be 3 when we install it) Then inside the SunSynk addon: When it is like this, with Modbus_ID 1 and serial of Master > the Master data shows up. (In the SunSynk addon Log and on the Flow Card) With Modbus_ID 2 and serial of Slave > slave data shows. (In the SunSynk addon Log and on the Flow Card) How do I get both to be read and displayed together ? I am trying to understand how to interpret this: "Add one item per inverter. HA_PREFIX should be unique for each inverter." I have tried like this but get errors. I have also changed to "3phase" option but got different errors. I see many people use direct changes to config.yaml, but I think somewhere there must be a hidden line of code blocking the modbus from working? Also the .yaml changes I have seen was for the ESP Home device which I do not have. So in short I would greatly appreciate: 1) How to setup 2 x SunSynk 8kW in parallel on Single Phase using the @kellerza's SunSynk addon and display it using @slipx's (I have managed to get this MQTT setup working after every time I decided to wipe and start over, and the sunsynk-power-flow-card is simply great!) or 2) How to get the .yaml method to work. (Perhaps I need to wipe and start over, but whose code to use I don't know) of lesser importance: 3) Later I would like to dig into why the "Essential Output" reading is not correct - it looks like it matches the Grid CT reading instead of the "UPS" load like on the SunSynk display. But this can wait for now. Many thanks in advance!
