Deye Inverter with KellerZA Sunsynk integration - not updating Use Timer

Featured Replies

Hi all

I've been using the great KellerZA Sunynk integration with my Deye 8Kw inverter for a while. It's a brilliant integration and I've had an automation set up to prevent battery discharge overnight if there's not going to be much solar production the next day. Sweet.

However, recently I noticed that not working because, it seems, the integration is not able to change the "Use Timer" value. So it reads the value fine from the inverter but when I flip the slider it doesn't change the inverter setting. The slider basically flips for a second then flips back again (obviously updating itself from the unchanged inverter setting).

I've googled a bit and looked at a few logs but don't know where to start debugging this. Bottom line seems to be that the integration can "read" from the inverter but not "write" back to it.

Where do I start?

I don't use the Use Timer toggle but rather the Priority mode and my SOC tables and those seem to work just fine. You don't have a rogue automation you forgot about that is resetting it by any chance? (I sometimes run into this where I forget about some of my safety net rules that makes things flip flop at times) .

Thanks for the feedback, ck.
No, no rogue automations.

In fact, this seemed to "fix itself" at some point since my above post. No idea... just started working 🤔

Anyway, I'm glad of that because this works really well at keeping the battery charged if it's going to be a low sun day... and then on the sunny days I take the batteries way down overnightso I can store all the excess solar. Works nicely.

Just out of interest, you say you use the SOC tables ... do you modify them with an automation based on anticipated solar production? I've considered that but haven't worked out the logic I'd use yet...
