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!
