Hi, I have the same problem. Did you find out what was wrong?
I tried to use the software serial on the ESP8266 itself, could not get it to work.
Orderd a RS485 TTL converter an now it works
Hi All,
I having trouble to compile (validate) the Growatt implementation. I get the following error:
INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/growatt.yaml...
Failed config
sensor.growatt_solar: [source /config/esphome/growatt.yaml:52]
platform: growatt_solar
update_interval: 5s
[protocol_version] is an invalid option for [sensor.growatt_solar]. Please check the indentation.
protocol_version: RTU2 [source /config/esphome/growatt.yaml:54]
My relevant config looks like this:
.......
uart:
- id: uart1
baud_rate: 9600 #9600 8N1
tx_pin: D6 #software Serial
rx_pin: D7 #software Serial
modbus:
uart_id: uart1
sensor:
- platform: growatt_solar
update_interval: 5s
protocol_version: RTU2
inverter_status:
name: "Growatt Status Code"
.......
To me the indentation looks OK.
Can anyone please help me to find out what the problem is?
Thanks a lot in advance
Bart
are you by any chance using a bit old esphome version that does not yet have protocol version as an attribute? If so, try updating the esphome addon to the latest version, that might just solve the problem.
Hi Pieter,
Thanks for your reply. In the mean time I went for another route which works fine for me at the moment.
Thanks again
Trying to get data from my Growatt and have problem with no values.
I use Growatt 12KTL3-XL 3-phase Inverter (https://www.martom.no/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Growatt-MID-6_12KTL3-XL-User-Manual-002-7920599-1.pdf)

I figured out the issue.
There is a but inside ESPHome and you need to use older Arduino frame version. Version 2.0.6
esp32:
board: esp32dev
framework:
type: arduino
version: 2.0.6
Now everything works perfectly:
Can I ask you, if your have logger enabled, and what logs are you getting?
I am struggling to get MOD6000TL3-X inverter over RS485, with ESP32.
I tried Arduino 2.0.6 framework, switching RX/TX, using other RX/TX (1&3) pins, using software serial, tried ESP8266, another modbus module, double checked wiring. Modbus address is as per default 1.

Using unshielded cat5e 2 meters cable. Ground not connected. Yet to try shielded one…
However I am suspecting software issue, as nothing, like nothing like CRC errors or similar are coming through in logs. LED’s on TTL converter light up briefly on update interval, else not. Only this:

I’m curious, for people using a Growatt MODxxxxTL3-X, do you get any data at night?
I’m currently using grott integration, but when the inverter goes offline at night, I’m not getting anything on the Shinewifi-X and I want to know if the 485 route is better.
My only problem is that everything that I import from grid during the night gets posted all at once in the morning:
