Yes, I'm using Slipx integration, but his solution does not use Node Red. Sure, I can slide the sliders in HA manually, but I want an automation via NodeRed to do that depending on the level of loadshedding.

It's exactly these entity values I'm trying to change via node red, but I just don't know what settings must go in the callservice node to change them.

Good luck, this will be awesome to have. I'm not up to speed in yaml, and would love to have this automation in node red... and by utilising as little javascript as possible.... that's why I love node red as its low-code!

If you look at the bottom URL is says [email protected] <----very suspicious.

Interestingly yours says 1000v on the label, mine says 1500v. I also have some 545w panels and it also says 1500v. My label:

I have an ESP32 integration with the Inverter to pull the data into HA sensors, and I'm trying to update the SOC depending on what stage loadshedding is going on: this is the idea: I can manually slide these sensors in HA, which updates the Inverter settings (number.set_soc_timezone1) What I'm struggling with is to understand the configuration of the call service node. Any ideas?

I've found the answer, there is a free-text option to add your own format:

@KempM Whilst checking out your flow I noticed an option in the call service node that I don't have in my setup, it's really neat: And this would enable me to remove 2 extra nodes from all my automations such as this: I've googled it but can't find how to get the turn_{{payload}} into the dropdown.

This worked, and for both of my setups! I'm so happy and relieved, thank you! I'm going to make some comments on Sc00bs youtube video to help the next person along, as a bit more explaining is needed in a couple of areas. For the next person: Add the Orange (2) and Brown strip (7) to A..... and Orange stripe (1) and Brown (8) to B

Firstly, many thanks for the incredible community contributions! Without them, I'd be watching Netflix a lot more! Secondly, I'm really struggling getting the data out my SS8 and have spent a full day exploring all configurations. I've taken primary guidance from this YouTube video and mange to get up to the point of flashing the ESP32 with the yaml however it looks like I'm not getting any data back: My setup: RaspberryPI 3b HomeAssistant version 2023.6.3 ESPHome installed Sunsynk 8kva (set to Slave) Removed R7 resistor I have tried the following setups: Setup 1 substitutions: settings_skipped_updates: "30" devicename: sunsynk esphome: name: esphome-web-d3def0 esp32: board: esp32dev framework: type: arduino # Enable logging logger: baud_rate: 0 # Enable Home Assistant API api: # encryption: # key: !secret api_encryption_key ota: # password: !secret ota_password wifi: ssid: !secret wifi_ssid password: !secret wifi_password # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails ap: ssid: !secret device_onboard_wifi password: !secret fallback_password fast_connect: true power_save_mode: none captive_portal: # Enable time component to reset energy at midnight # https://esphome.io/components/time.html#home-assistant-time-source time: - platform: homeassistant id: homeassistant_time uart: id: mod_bus tx_pin: 17 # Also tried value 'GPIO17' rx_pin: 16 # Also tried value 'GPIO16' baud_rate: 9600 stop_bits: 1 modbus: id: sunsynk_modbus flow_control_pin: 4 # Also tried value 'GPIO4' modbus_controller: - id: sunsynk address: 0x01 modbus_id: sunsynk_modbus setup_priority: -10 update_interval: "15s" command_throttle: "50ms" <cropped> Pic of the above setup...

Check out this thread, similar concerns. https://powerforum.co.za/topic/3985-2kw-geyser-on-16a-sonoff/

Nice Piet! This is very cool to see - thanks for the effort! Is this connector from one of your failed devices? Are those burn marks on the switch from the failed device?

Apologies, I posted my reply before you edited your initial post. But yes, this makes perfect sense! And thanks for the pictures, they're always worth a thousand works! Cheers

Thank you! This is the product spec of the relay so as per the wiring diagram on that page: .... where do the L,N,E for the geyser and 240v go?

Here are the pins on the Asiaon 40A JQX-40F 1Z Any advice on which pins to connect the sonoff, 240v and the Geyser to, would be much appreciated!

"Any diagram available on which pins to use on the relay for the sonoff and for the power to the geyser" I bought the same Asiaon 40A relay but can find a wiring diagram on what pins to connect to what. Can anyone help?
