Doh, my fault for trying to digest stuff at ungodly hours of the morning and not following up properly.

Thanks a bunch for the pointer again, let me look into that, makes way more sense to me!

And i'm up and running in no time @kellerza! thank you! Brilliant add-on

Is there a sensor that has combined PV power? Or do I have to make a custom one? Anyone done this yet and can save me the time?

Another thing @kellerza - when watchdog is enabled, when does it restart? I just had a power outage and my modbus pi was powered off, when power came back, I noticed your Sunsynk HA addon had terminated itself despite the watchdog being enabled. I had to manually start it again.

If you have power outages in this forum you are doing something wrong!

Best is to look at the log, but it should print an error and wait for 30 seconds before it exits (and the watchdog restarts). Unplug the Pi/restarts your router to test this.

See https://kellerza.github.io/sunsynk/reference/mysensors for the imports, then you probably need

SENSORS += MathSensor((186, 187), "PV power", WATT, factors=(1, 1))

- if this works, feel free to create a PR on the repo

Haha thanks.. I am testing it at the moment and my cable only reaches a non essential plug at the moment.

The watchdog didn't seem to work for me. Will test again.

 

Will test custom sensor now I have the right path..

 

EDIT: Sensor shows up thanks, now to wait for some sun Not familiar with PR's but I will try and do so if it works

Next time if it fails, take a snapshot of the log BEFORE you restart it and post it on the sunsynk github repo as a fault

A PR is fairly easy, and you first step to help build something that you & hopefully others can use!. In your case it's a single line to the definitions.py file

Is there a way to collect data from 2x 8kw sunsynk inverters using esp32. I have managed to connect to the master, but can get any info from the slave.

Have you tried to set this on 2 on the slave esp?

 

Thanks Yuri, thanks for the response, will try this and let you know. Hopefully this will do the trick. 

Im struggling to get the flow card to display data. 

The Sunsynk addon logs check out, MQTT is happy. If I add sensors to a dashboard they display live correct data. 

However the power flow card never shows anything. 

What can I try? Dont find too much info about the card not work on Kellers site

 

I see in the notes partial time feature works.

I have a basic understanding of code but thought I would ask as I have a Sunsynk 8k inverter issue that wont keep time in manual or sync ntp time through the Sunsynk logger its very odd. 

I was thinking of trying to use node red and your code to get the local network time and write it on a scheduled to the inverter clock basically forcing it to keep time.

I cannot get the lan version of the Sunsynk logger here in my territory to try or the Solarman one and yes not keen on the second but anything to solve this time issue, but also note I would rather keep data sharing to a minimum. 

I already have a Solar assistant working and reached out to them they have time set on the wish list but nothing yet. 

Anyone with experience in this?  If interested see my other posts.

The idea would be ti imlient this anyway and ensure I have a fallback plan if Sunsynk / Deye dont resolve this before winter I dent wish to have to disconect and return the inverter, do you feel Sc00bs this time idea  is viable?

Thanks in advance for any ideas and replies.

I calibrated the Grid usage kWh meter from Solar Assistant with my Prepaid electricity meter,

Hi @Multiform

 

How did you do the following:

--> I calibrated the Grid usage kWh meter from Solar Assistant with my Prepaid electricity meter, and I can keep track of my remaining prepaid credit.

Hi,

I am impressed with the HA module https://kellerza.github.io/sunsynk. Great work. I have 3P Deye 10kW and I am fetching the data through the solarman dongle.  I'd like to read the grid voltage of each phase, however it seems that original module doesn't support that.

Then I found out the custom sensors section in the documentation. Following it I've created the mysensors.py file and I see in the logs that sensors definitions were read.

I cannot see them as entities, though. Probably because I have no idea how to add them to the configuration.

it is explained:

"Once a sensor is loaded, you still have to add it to your configuration: (...)"

but I have no idea where is the configuration (file) I am supposed to add it (please excuse me my ignorance, I am pretty new to HA).

I tried to add the following

SENSORS:
  - mysensors

to the /config/configuration.yaml and also to /homeassistant/configuration.yaml

but it didn't help.

I get errors on HA / module restart

 

May I kindly ask for the advice how to accomplish that  

 

 

Can home assistant get the read out of battery health from BSL bull batteries? I’m really curious to see how our batteries are with regards to how many cycles has been done etc. 

Hi,

 

Is there any chance of integrating Anenji hybrid inverters HHC 5.6kw in home assistant? Chinese brand with good behavior over the time... At least 2 years is running without any issue... It has CAN communication with WIFi dongle WIFi pro5, connected to dessmonitor.com servers or SmartEss on Android phones... Has also an RS485 communication port which is not used,at least not by me... Maybe there is a way of adding this inverter in home assistant,with additional hardware like ESP32 boards... Any suggestions?  Thank you!

@Mercadian,

If you're still struggling with this, please read my instructions @ 

You just need USB -> RS232 cable +HA configured correctly.

Hi,
I have 2x11kWh to ANENJI Hybrid Inverters working in parallel and still cannot get any output data except from Wi-Fi Module via dessmonitoring.com server.
You can create Sensors from dessmonitoring.com server queries (ask ChatGPT) but that is in 5 min intervals reading which is not useful.
I already break on of the Communication Board while trying to use RS485 and RS232 for Data reading via USB Converters but ANENJI send me new one free of charge and I suppose to get it shortly.
If You have any experience will be great if You share also.
