Did you change the serial number to your inverters serial number in the setup? 

If yes and all are your readings are wrong, I would check the cable. 

yes, still get this errors

  • 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

Hey peeps,

My 5.5kW inverter was was updated to firmware e424 - MCU:3374 this morning, and since then, my logging seems to have stopped.  I was previously running e419 MCU3162.

Any guidance to get this up and running again will be appreciated. I tried pulling a debug node onto the modbus queue info, but nothing came from it.

change the device id/unit id on the inverter to 1

If you are referring to the inverter modbus-client node's unit-ID attribute... It was already set to 1.

 

Any other ideas?

Edit... I just noticed this log message

As stated above, change the ID on the inverter - mine reset it's ID to zero after a firmware update:

Hi,

The dashboard should be available at http://noderedip:1880/ui

If you want to safe the settings to a local storage file then you would need to enable context storage in your settings.js

has anyone managed to create an automation in ha/node red to enable and disable the "Limit to Load" function on a timer/scheduler?

I am trying to do this, so that my heatpump does not deplete my battery at night.

Any tips/advice will be appreciated...

Sry, my first question has to be, why do you run your heatpump at night? 

Maybe just put a smart isolator witch on it to switch it on during the day and you can overide it if necessary.

have that already, however we need hot water @5am , so the heatpump needs to turn on by 3:30am, hence the question..

im trying not to loose the benefit of the sun, for when it runs during the day...

Hi,

Yes it is part of the Node Red flows that I have shared previously.  I have my limit to load enabled to different days and different times of days

thanks @Bloubul7, i have seen that, but for the life of me, i cannot change or adapt it to work on a static schedule...

any advice on which flows to change?

Sry, wasn't trying to come over with an attitude, just asking as I have no idea how your heatpumps works.

I thought they usually worked in conjunction with your existing geyser to store the water they heat up and you just use a compressor to generate the hot water rather than an element. Heat loss from a good geyser is relatively low so water hot water stored in stays pretty hot for a long time.

no offence taken, my heatpump has replaced the regular heating element found inside a geyser, its essentially like an aircon in reverse, take heat out the air and uses it to heat the water..In the area i reside in, close to a river, its gets really cold in winter, and the gesyer heat losses are incredibly high, even with a blanket and lagging on a new geyser..

was hoping to get some automation that could allow me to turn off/on  "limit to load", so that my battery can be "protected"..

Whilst in pretty hand with a mouse and keyboard and can follow "logic", Blubul's flow is beyond my capabilities..

Anyone here that can help me adapt the flows/logic to achieve my goal, am happy to pay for your time?

You shouldn't need to alter the flows, the flow as it is should work for your current needs.  I will post a screenshot of the user interface tonight when I'm at home

thanks Bloubul, really appreciate it man

You could also just put a smart isolator switch on the Heat Pump, pretty easy to automate it switching on with Node Red or you can set the timers on the app on your phone.

how will that stop the heatpump from using battery power?

the heat pump needs to run at night, just not of battery power..

See below screenshots from the Node Red Dashboard.  These flows are active as part of the flows shared.  On the Time mode screen you can select the time and days when the inverter should switch to limit to load only.  Make sure to press the buttons next to the timer to set these times.
