I bought a new USB cable from Solar Assistant as you recommended and it fixed my issue. Thanks a lot for your assistance on this issue.

Thanks for your response. I really appreciate it. What cable did you use to flash your batteries? Can you point me to where I can get one? Also, how are you connecting your US3000C to ICC given that the console port for it is RJ45 while the ICC USB cable is RJ11.

Hi all, I just recently bought a new US3000C to add to my setup. My current setup consists of a: - Axpert 3KVA inverter - 2 x US2000 - ICC software for monitoring I have connected the US3000C to my setup as master and the 2x US2000 as slaves, but ICC does recognise my battery bank. Can the gurus provide me with a detailed guide on how I can get all my batteries recognised by ICC?

Very impressive system Sass. Following this thread and the one below keenly. Similar ideas in both.

Glad to know it worked for you. You have to create a new sensor for each topic. See an example config below: - platform: mqtt name: "pylontech SOC" state_topic: "Inverter/BatterySOC" unit_of_measurement: "%" - platform: mqtt name: "Solar Month Total Cost" state_topic: "Inverter/Month_TotalCost" unit_of_measurement: "ZAR" - platform: mqtt name: "Solar Month Cost Savings" state_topic: "Inverter/Month_Cost_Saving" unit_of_measurement: "ZAR" - platform: mqtt name: "Inverter Mode" state_topic: "Inverter/InverterMode" Let me know how it goes.

Hi Vijen, I tested the method by Vijen, and it works well. Before I couldn't get it to work and resorted to using the emoncms intergration for home Assistant. I believe the issue is with the way you are adding the sensors. This works: sensor: - platform: mqtt name: "Mecer" state_topic: "Inverter/LoadWatts" unit_of_measurement: "W" This does not work: sensor: - platform: mqtt name: "Mecer" state_topic: "Inverter/LoadWatts" unit_of_measurement: "W" unique_id: "MecerLoad" value_template: "{{ value_json.Inverter }}" availability: - topic: "Inverter/LoadWatts" payload_available: "online" payload_not_available: "offline" #json_attributes_topic: "home/sensor1/attributes"

I used the emoncms platform in HA.

I used the emoncms integration that comes with Hassio.

I use home assistant femoncms sensor for this. I have setup an automation to play a notification on my alex enabled devices when Grid power is down on my inverter.

I bought almost everything for my solar setup from Sola-shop.co.za. I was able to setup my system alone with advice from them.

I was able to resolve this using another method. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response. I tried the above, and I don't seem to be connecting to ICC. See my logs below.

Hi there vlan_one, what username and password did you use here? is it the ICC username/password? TIA.
