Anyone got data though WiFi? I have a 5kW inverter with WiFi module and I'm not able to get any data and there are no information around.

 

No way to get data from the wifi adapter except from via Solarman that anyone could figure out.

  • Thanks to @Bloubul7and all the other contributors. This is my HA dashboard. It has all I need to view at a glance. (PS: really impressed with the Sunsynk)  

  • Thanks for sharing. Did not know about the horseshoe or plotly cards. Added to Dashboard  

  • Think I figured it out. Copied the Raw Config file. EDIT: Open the file at the bottom with notepad or Text Editor. Copy and paste in Dashboard "Raw configuration editor" You need to install

No internet on the place, furthermore what I tried about Solarman is a shit. It has random acknowledge frequency about 10 or 20 minutes.

You can connect directly to the RS485 port using a raspberry pi, lots of discussion about it on the site.

Will give you live data on a web page that can be browsed with a phone using the Homer Assistant app or a pc with a browser

Hi Guys, my SunSynk firmware was upgraded to comm e41c and mcu 6006 which has caused the RS485 port to stop responding to modbus requests. It now seems completely unreadable. Did anyone else upgrade and get this issue?

I am running on a much different firmware version from that. Which SunSynk inverter do you have?

The 5kw. Which one are you running and what is the version?

When did you upgrade to this version? Is this very recent?

You should log a case with their tech support for the modbus issue.

Correction it's the 8kW, was thinking of MPPT array.  I see there is a topic for this problem.

 

I've removed my WiFi dongle, just incase SunSynk decides to mass push this update out, in a ploy to get everyone to use their new cloud platform... Or maybe I'm just paranoid :P

What you have experienced as a bug is actually a feature.  This firmware update allows you to read parallel inverters with a single RS485 adapter. Previously if you wired all the RS485 cables together and requested data on modbus address 1 all the inverters responded at the same time causing a corrupt response.  You were forced to use an RS485 adapter for each inverter. With this update you can query the specific address you want a response from and only that inverter responds.  This update is going to be disruptive since most inverters have their address set to 0 and many modbus utilities won't even allow querying on address 0.  A changelog would have been really helpful.

Had the same issue recently and implemented these settings (Modbus SN changed to 00 changed it to 01). It is still working.

How many inverters do you have? If only 1 is yours set to MASTER?

WhatApp integration added to monitor the grid voltage, send a WhatApp message if the grid goes down and when it comes back on

Hi @Bloubul7

Please which register are you reading to get the Grid status? Please help me out of my misery! Could you show me the function and check blocks please!

Hi @Bloubul7

Please which register are you reading to get the Grid status? Please help me out of my misery! Could you show me the function and check blocks please!

Function:

var a
a = (msg.payload.data / 1)
if (msg.topic === "voltage_grid") {
    if (a > 100) {
      msg.payload = (1);
    } else {
    msg.payload = (0);
    }
    return [ msg, null ];
} else {
   return [ null, msg ];
}
return msg;
 

Register for Voltage Grid:

msg.payload = { 
    'fc': 3, 
    'unitid': 1, 
    'address': 150, 
    'quantity': 1 }; 
msg.topic = "voltage_grid"
return msg;

I just check to see if grid frequency is < 48

Firstly... Congrats and thank you to @Bloubul7, @Sc00bs & @jacauc...! The work you have all put in is incredible...! You all deserve breweries, not just beers!!!

I've been following this thread and am about to get myself a inverter/battery set to carry me through the on going load shedding - and hopefully upgrade to PV once the pocket allows 🤦🏼‍♂️

I've already got a Pi Zero running Node Red and added the flows from @jacauc's GitHub page... Thank you!!

I'm now looking at the connection from inverter to pi... Seems I was at the back of the queue as all the RS485 Pi Hats are sold out... 🤦🏼‍♂️ Anyone have a spare one lying around up for grabs or know of where I can get one?? 

Wave RS485 HAT For Pi

Thanks again everyone for all your contributions and comments, almost makes this setup basically plug and play!!

@finch6I got all the mentioned adapters and HATs in this thread. The easiest, simplest, most reliable, and neatest solution was just getting the cables from Solar Assistant: https://solar-assistant.io/shop

Unless you want to go with any of the DIY options so you can learn from the experience, this would be my recomendation.

Thanks for the info @JuanH, really appreciate it... 😃

Was kind of looking forward to the DIY part of it but if I can't get my hands on a DIY setup, at least I have other options, thanks again 👍
