@Multiform I also have solar assistant but in energy dashboard i cant add any sensors.
There are non available.
Any help would be appreciated .

I purchased solar assistant recently and it works really well with home assistant / MQTT.
The issue that im having is inside the energy dashboard and adding sensors. There are non available for use.
I read the solar assistant docs and they indicate that sensors should be available for use.
https://solar-assistant.io/help/home-assistant/energy
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks @kellerza
Just an update. I made use of said cable above and crimped Orange, Yellow and Black to pins 1,2,3 on the RJ45.
I made use of KellerZa repo which worked straight away but with some timeout issues which i thought wasnt refreshing the data quick enough.
i added more sensors and did some tests and data seems to be coming quicker on MQTT now.
example of my Sunsynk Yaml which i edited from the add-on:
PORT: "" DEVICE: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A10KD3ZH-if00-port0 DRIVER: umodbus SUNSYNK_ID: "2209133222" SENSOR_PREFIX: "" SENSORS: - total_pv_power - total_battery_charge - total_battery_discharge - total_grid_export - total_grid_import - battery_soc - battery_temperature - grid_voltage - battery_power - inverter_power - load_power - grid_power - battery_voltage - overall_state - grid_connected_status - total_active_energy - total_pv_energy - rated_power - pv1_power - pv2_power READ_SENSORS_BATCH_SIZE: 60 NUMBER_ENTITY_MODE: auto PROFILES: [] MODBUS_SERVER_ID: 1 MQTT_HOST: core-mosquitto MQTT_PORT: 1883 MQTT_USERNAME: admin MQTT_PASSWORD: <pwd> DEBUG: 2

Tried this route thanks. Both ways work for me but i get initial Data to mqtt and then just no new data. Almost stale.
@kellerza Not sure if there is an issue.
2nd attempt was using umodbus and this also times out it seems.

I had the same issue and the issue still exist.
As a work around, I installed "Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU Gateway Add-on" and used the pymobus serial connection
DEVICE: /dev/ttyUSB0
BAUDRATE: 9600
MODE: 8N1
TIMEOUT: 5
LOGLEVEL: 2
PORT: xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:502
DEVICE: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Ser_-if00-port0
DRIVER: pymodbusTried this route thanks. Both ways work for me but i get initial Data to mqtt and then just no new data. Almost stale.
@kellerza Not sure if there is an issue.

- The wrong serial nr in the config does not affect reading the serial from the device... It will tell you if the number was wrong.
- mbusd can run anywhere, including the same pi
- A crc error can be due to bad wiring/not using a pair/a bad cable/bad module/too much interference/you trying everything and causing the smoke to escape...
@kellerzaSeems to have worked i think?

Thank you @kellerza. I see that matches with my other image i found.
So
B(Yellow) to RJ45 pin 1
A(Orange) to RJ45 pin2
GND(Black) to RJ45 pin3
and i should be good to go?
Thanks for your lib.

I see the temp inside the tube as a work around.
There are three wires from the controller that connect to the panel.
A 12v, a neutral and a data wire.
The data wire is two way. My aim is to intercept the data via that data wire and then mimic the calls to change temp, put on the pump and also be able to read data like error codes, temp sensor values and states of pump and heating.
I want to be able to remove the panel completely and then replace with a D1 mini and then integrate into home assistant via MQTT.
If anyone has been able to reverse engineer this then please give heads up.
Thanks

This is what I am wondering. The geyserwise TSE has a screen that shows the temperature: https://www.geyserwise.com/products/geyserwise-electronic-thermostats/geyserwise-tse/ . So the thermostat might not be a normal analog one.
I an wondering if I can somehow get that info into a nodemcu or somethibng similar with tasmota.
You get anywhere with this?
Solar assistant just stops working?

This was sorted.
Turns out my raspberry pi PSU was failing and causing a continuous boot loop.
Powering a with an iphone dongle which is 5V 2A and working great.
