February 14, 20242 yr Having a few issues in getting v1.1 to work in HA. Have hopefully followed videos but getting errors that looks like HA is not logging in to somewhere - I assume the Sunsynk site. any suggestions to help me resolve it would be grateful im region 2 and I can login to https://pv.inteless.com/login TIA
February 15, 20242 yr If you are on V1.1 which is no longer being developed you could look at page 19 if your region is set correctly. Any reason you are using v1.1 instead of the latest v2.3? https://powerforum.co.za/topic/16806-sunsynk-logger-integration-into-home-assistant/page/19/ On 2023/12/04 at 12:17 PM, -cK- said: Just double click the Setup Global Vars, scroll down to around line 87 or 88 It should still be on pv.inteless.com if region 1 just add // in front of line 88 and delete the // in front of api.sunsynk.net. This should look like this then. Hit done and hit deploy at the top as well. Both buttons should be red so can't miss it 😉 I tested my region on the sunsynk login page to confirm I was able to log in on region 2 first though. https://sunsynk.net/login
February 16, 20242 yr @Gary Waterworth I updated to V2.4 a bit earlier today and just noticed that my AC and DC temps wasn't pulling in. Could you just confirm on your end this is working? I've reverted back to a V2.3 backup and the temps are pulling in on it. Just trying to pin point if it is user error on my end or on the update. Thanks V2.4 V2.3

February 16, 20242 yr Author Any debug messages? No changes on ac DC that I am aware of. Will do a clean load on my test vm tomorrow and check. Those are 2 where I have to get graph data and take last 2 figures. So if you can see the graphs in the app it should work Edited February 16, 20242 yr by Gary Waterworth

Might just be the sunsynk servers being its usual 💩. EDIT @Gary Waterworth I am observing that there seems to be a delay in processing the last flow, these 8 will start at the same time but won't always finish at the same time. The first 7 works like clock in sync but the last one for the temps will linger and then sometimes returns with a no responses from server and 0 readings on the ac and dc but the batt temp is still given. Edited February 16, 20242 yr by -cK-
February 17, 20242 yr Author Yeah that is teh actual web api request taking its time. I added in a 2 second response timeout to help with the sunsynk "crap". So what is different on these 2 readings is that I have to request graph data as those 2 reading are just not available anywhere ( that I could find ) as a point in time value. Stupid I know, but that is what it is. This has been a cause of a lot of the energy "0" readings nonsense - sensor: - name: "SunSynk Config" state: "Config Sensor" unique_id: "sensor.sunsynk_config" attributes: login: !secret sunsynk_user password: !secret sunsynk_password region: 2 invertor_list_opt: 0 return_items: 10 sn_data: !secret sunsynk_sn_data sn_flow: !secret sunsynk_sn_flow unit_cost: 2.37 force_short_delay: "false" timeout: 2000 Edited February 17, 20242 yr by Gary Waterworth
February 17, 20242 yr Okay makes sense as I'm observing the same delay behavior in V2.3 except I don't get the no response error. I suspect this no response error has to do with the added error checking and timeout that was added and this is missing the deadline sometimes. I'm guessing I should just try and increase the timeout in the config to allow for a second or 2 more and see if this might not help. Will update to 2.4 this afternoon again when I get home. My inverter fans are linked to the temps so if it keeps dropping to 0 they will turn off when it should be on. Hopefully a bump in the timeout delay solves this.
February 17, 20242 yr Author Dont go past 5 seconds. Once you have a temp, failed requests shouldn't put a zero but keep the current

Will this code still work ? Or do I need to go down another route? when googling I found a HA code that would pull in values from web and I can then put the power flow card in HA to view the data. Not too worried about writing back to the inverter. just need to remember who did the other code ! TIA

Not too worried about writing back to the inverter. just need to remember who did the other code ! TIA Hello There JTJ, I believe you may be a little confused. This thread is purely for the E-Linter (SUNSYNK) dongle. The dongle with the external antenna is the Solarman dongle and works with KellerZA integration and supports local polling. Gary has done some amazing work here for the people that do not have the ability to connect to their RS-485 port and still need their dongles to be connected to retain warranty/SLA support. If you are using the Sunsynk Application or connect to the sunsynk.net website and using region 2 for the login, then you are in the correct place to get your data into Home Assistant via the Node-Red flows and HA templates. Regards, Wazza

February 22, 20242 yr Author If this is true Im going to get real grumpy. May have to start looking at another method to get decent data from the inverter Looks like the 60s gateway updates arent enabled or even if they show as 60s they arent

February 22, 20242 yr Our app has been down most of yesterday and most of today its looking like the only robust way to control this is via a direct integration like Solar assistant or directly into HA a real shame. We shouldn’t need to do this but seems their tech team have theirs heads up their asses (technical term as I’m a CTO)
February 24, 20242 yr @Gary Waterworth Good day, I'm really battling to get my SunSynk Max on HA. I have watched numerous videos and just can't get it done correctly. Is there someone who can please assist me ? Even better if you can log onto my system and show me how to set it up correctly with the most data possible as often as possible. Thank you for your time and effort so far. Jannie.

Is your home assistant accessible from the internet ?
February 26, 20242 yr Author Ok some good news at least. I have been testing for the last few weeks on changes I have made. The energy data now seems to be stable regardless of API errors , rebooting/updating of HA and Node red. Looks like teh error checking and filter sensors are behaving properly. I havent had to "massage" the energy data at all. As far as the 60s and 300 second datalogger update story, I am busy watching the sunsynk forum and others to see what more comes of it. I suspect their outages are a badly designed/implemented infrastructure when they took it over from e-linter and they are limiting the number of accesses a client makes. Where that will lead to further things that can affect us ~shrug~

My pc (laptop) do speak to a sonoff switch and see my inverter. However the details or data I can see on HA and on the inverter screen itself is not the same. I did watch several videos and tried really hard to copy it to the "T" but ja im under the bridge and don't see me surviving this one. My laptop is on anydesk or teamviewer would you like to see what I see. Kind regards, Jannie.

Reason I'm asking is that though the sunsynk website looks to only update their data every 5 minutes, from my data it would seem to be pulling data every minute still. 🤷♂️

Probably due to issues they have , but yeah no idea. I also seem to get data every minute as well Edited February 26, 20242 yr by Gary Waterworth
