  1. ye... been leaning that way also. we need a stronger platform for the HA and then going to be running pfSense also so leaning to a good intel box with VBox or Proxmax on it. noticed that HA has pre build image for VBox so... G
  2. Is this password exposed to me at any point... did i miss writing it down ? is it needed by me... if I'm doing this from HA / ESPHome... G
  3. question. the ota password, where is it set configured, I know the value is set in the secret file, but the other side, the esp home side ? ota: password: !secret ota_password_sunsynk see you using solcast, how do you deal with 2 pv arrays ? G
  4. oh, ok, for some reason through via other threads they did not... ok, then it's onto your git repo G
  5. you ahead of me... i'm not getting it compiled on the RPi3b G
  6. slipx, which is the yaml for the esphome to be compiled/pushed to the esp32. please confirm this is for the Sunsynk 5.5 ? G
  7. mind pointing me to slipx's code... can't recall if his was for a 5.5Kw or 8.5KW inverter. atm my HA running ESPHome on a little Pi3 is crashing when trying to compile/link/install the bits onto the ESP32. what you running your HA on? wish my friend have upgraded his Pi3=>Pi4 by now... G
  8. which size inverter you running, looking for the current goto yaml file for the 5.5, and if you have an associated dashboard yaml also... ? G
  9. pls send me your yaml you pushed onto the esp32, are you running 5.5 or 8.5 kw inverter looking for code for 5.5 G
  10. so some figuring out. esphome web tool will and can work... you just have to press the "boot" button on the esp32 when you click on the install option in the web tool... what makes it more interesting... doing this for a friend, so trying to figure out as much as I can at my house, now to go and install the physical bits at his, allowing me to return to my house to then remotely work on his HA deployment. eventually figure out that I install ESPHome as a add on onto my HA. I then flash the esp32 and tell it to register with the local esphome running on ha. at that point I can add the yaml in esphome running on my HA to then do the sunsynk config. need to relook at various bits of yaml i copied to make sure I copy/past the Sunsynk 5.5 kW yaml and not the 8.5, as they are all over the sight... just keeping track of the things i made notes off. about to pop over to friend, see if i can do the physical on prem bits. will "remove" the R7 resister also, as it seems it's a common across the board best option. G
  11. Farcus. I'd be keen to know how you did this on a Pi platform, I have some lying around and would love to understand/know, might be easier for me as I know them vs the ESP32 platform/builds. please DM me. G
  12. hi, so I'm helping a friend n his Sunsynk atm, but I have a Victron, but how I did it... Put my Geysers and stove on the non essential, but they are connected to the db onto a contractor, which then connected to a isolator. I use 4 channel sonoff tasmotized with which In control/ open/close the contacts points. so my load is carried by a contractor, I control them via sonoffs. The sonoffs themself are on my essential circuit so they always powered. with this setup of contractors and sonoffs it allows me to intelligently control my geysers and pool pump via timers in HA or NodeRed flow. G
  13. ... ok I'm slowly working through the 13 odd pages here... I got a esp32 that I've been able to flash with the demo image using https://esphome.github.io/esp-web-tools/ but now i'm lost... discovered you can't load you devices after the flash, it seems you include your devices in the image you flash. Can someone help. have a sunsynk 5.5 Kw inverter that I want to integrate with HA using one of these examples. G
  14. Hi Corne. I'm trying to figure things out. eventually got esp home installed on my esp32 using the esphome-web-tool. I'm guessing I need to get the above code onto my esp home now ? do you have matching HA dashboards ? and/or Grafana? I will use Sc00bs esp32 -> RS485 dev board wiring to connect the R485 to the esp32. Please help, never used a esp32 before, nor esphome. PS: inverter is a 5Kw Sunsynk... G
  15. system32, any chance you're good at Grafana and/or SVG... I got a sensor that measure water level of a water tank, and would love to input a percentage full and have it visually display it in HA, minnyou I'd love to be able to show the same JoJo tank in Grafana and show / water level based on a input %. G
  16. busy trying to flash my esp32 with esp home... keeps on failing, where as the esp8266 (slightly smaller chip) went easily, this is on my MAC, did try on a Windows box also, same issue with esp32. I'd prefer to use the esp8266, it being a bit cheaper... but if it's going to cause problems then I'll have to figure out how to get the esp32 working... ps I did use arduino to flash a simple getchipid onto the esp32 and it worked (from MAC). can add the esp32 shows a red light while connected where as the esp8266 showed a blue. hmm, let me see if i can find a distro of esp home that i can flash using arduino ideas ? G
  17. looking amazing... curious, I have the same RS485 development board, i have a space ESP32... whats to be installed on the ESP32 though ? and then how do I make that talk to the HA running on a RP G (helping a friend that recently installed a Sunsync as this house)
  18. Hi Sc00bs. I received the RS485 to cable block development board, can you point me to your repo that says what to deploy on ESP32 and then how to wire/install it... and what dashboards can be deployed onto HA to interact with it... G
  19. going to close this ask for help, not as if I'm getting replies. simply going to wait for the RS485 dongle and then figure out how to configure the with a esp32 and wire that into the sunsync as per Scoob's video, and then build his dashboard onto that. G
  20. ... if i look at some of the debug nodes in NodeRed then it's as if I'm not getting data, although I do see some on the visual front end in HA. Looking for someone that can spend 15min with me and go over things and see where it is broken, where I broke it. G
  21. I implemented his video, with the node red pulling configuration values from HA, then using that to pull the numbers from sunsync online site, and then push them back to HA entities to be displayed. G
  22. hope someone can assist. I'm helping a friend with his recently installed sunsync. please look at the detail I "incorrectly" posted here: I got the integration installed/configured in NR, I got my HA key specified in NR: global settings, and if I look at the login debug message it is success. but then when I look at other debug's it seems not to be retrieving the data from Sunsync. ... this is a for now project as I got the RS485 dongle on the way and have some space ESP32's that I have not used (mind never actually used them) so the idea is to do Scoobs direct wire in, and redo the dashboards. please help. G
  23. I"m trying to get the above git repo implemented as it also include the HA side of pulling sensor data in via pre build NodeRed flows. Thanks for the link, will have an additional look. PS.. closer inspection this is Scoobs and BlouBul's work... thanks G
