Anker Solix X1 - Modbus Integration - No Anker Cloud needed

Hello everyone,

I operate an Anker Solix X1 PV system, which I have integrated into Home Assistant using the well-known HACS integration.

Basically, the whole thing works reliably, but the update interval is rather opaque due to Anker’s cloud requirements and, for my taste, much too slow—the “live” data is only updated every 30–90 seconds. In addition, the connection is completely dependent on the Anker cloud, so Home Assistant no longer provides data as soon as it goes offline.

Since the X1 has Modbus TCP, I have now activated this interface and have already experimented with it a little.

Official Anker documentation (Modbus TCP):

Basically, I got the Modbus connection up and running, but some of the values read out are still implausible at the moment. However, all controlled points can be read out and addressed.

Perhaps there are others who are interested and we can connect to get the integration running perfectly.

I am attaching my Modbus Yaml file, which you are welcome to use for yourselves.

Greetings!

I am getting an Anker X1 system installed in a few weeks. I will probably follow in your footsteps regarding HA integration.

Interested to know for the Modbus TCP configuration in the Anker solix X1 system, did you have to get the installer to enable it, or could you do it as an end user.

Please explicitly inform your installer that you would like to have this feature activated.
It is not part of the standard commissioning process, but can be activated by the installer with a single click in the Anker Professional app.
