Hello everyone.

I've been using a Deye 5kSg03Lp1 inverter for almost two years.

A year ago, I started experimenting with Home Assistant and controlling my PV system.

I first started with the Solarman dongle in the cloud and then I found the Homeassistant integration Sunsynk from KellerZa.

A connection was quickly established, as were MQTT and the dashboard. I would actually be quite satisfied if it weren't for the sensor and switch I needed.

I've searched extensively, but I can't find a Yaml file anywhere, with a description of where to put it or where the integration's installation directory is.

Since I couldn't get it to work properly, I switched to RS485 to ESP. Great, I thought, I had all the values and switches I needed. But my joy was short-lived. After 14 days, the first ESP-RS485 combination was defective. I replaced it, and then it broke again for two months. I don't know whether it was the ESP or the RS485 adapter. I always replaced both.

Now a part has been broken again for the last 3 weeks, so I'm taking a closer look at the Sunsynk homeassistant app, but I can't see how I can create or delete sensors or add switches.

The integration runs with a 60-second refresh rate, which is actually sufficient for me. MQTT is running, I've also installed Influx and Grafana for later.

I would like to fully utilize the Sunsynk integration with RS485 (I have a Waveshare USB dongle here) or via the Solarman WLAN dongle. Unfortunately, I can't do anything with the individual lines from the manual because I can't put them into context.

Does anyone use this integration and have some spare time to help me get it working properly?

Thanks and best regards from Austria

Hi @concierge_at ,

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt😁.

Easiest solution is to get the Smartdeyedongle from smarthomeintegrations.co.za with the correct/appropriate software,

and follow the instructions on Heinz's Github : https://github.com/tomatensaus/DeyeSolarDesktop

Been running this dongle and HA for almost a year without problems, and there are many such installations.

oh thank you @Sidewinder verry verry much, i have running an other instance of this on esp,

the dongle is now backup again i have no problems with the esp dongle only the hardware is dieing so verry fast when i repalce it it all works fine again
