Question now: can I anyhow force a firmware update? Unfortunately I can’t use the SetApp, with my regular monitoring credentials it won’t let me log in to the app. I can only use the inverter’s admin page after I connect to its AP.
SolarEdge can do it remotely if I ask them? Should I contact my solarpanel dealer how installed SolarEdge, or SolarEdge directly?
as said,
their support can do another firmware update where these issues should be resolved, as far as I can say.
But since I don’t have wifi connected devices, I can’t say for sure.
Hi all, has anyone implemented an automatism that sends a notification if the inverter is not available? It happened to me after a blackout that the inverter didn’t restart, I noticed it after several hours.
Thanks
I tried to get my modbus tcp working tonight, and I was able to get it enabled on my master inverter. But, my slave inverter (I have 2 inverters and 1 meter) must not be ID 2 on the RS485-1 bus as I’m getting an error during setup of the integration that it gets no response from inverter ID 2.
So, I then tried to get to my slave inverter’s commissioning page by following the same steps to enable wifi that I did on the master and then accessing 172.16.0.1 on the slave inverter… however, when I connect to the slave inverter’s wifi SSID I cannot access that IP… the browser just times out.
Is there a special way to access the commissioning page on a slave inverter to configure it versus the master? I think the only thing I need to do is change the ID of the slave to ID 2 on the RS485-1 bus.
I got the issue figured out. In case anyone else has the same issue… for some reason that slave inverter would not bring up the commissioning page via the IP… so, I just signed up for a SE Installer account and downloaded SetApp. That worked like a charm. Loving this integration!
try modbus port 1502
the inverter can run either on 502 or 1502 … for me, it started working as soon as I used the second port.
also, check the logs from the integration. it should highlight if it could not establish a connection to the inverter…
Also, are you using wireless or wired connection?
connected with anything else to the modbus interface of the inverter?
The SolarEdge does only allow one client connection being active on that interface.
2023-01-10 22:54:26.088 WARNING (SyncWorker_2) [homeassistant.loader] We found a custom integration solaredge_modbus which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant
that’s why I asked if there is anything else that connects to your inverter
But since you mentioned, that there are no other connections, I did not recommend the Modbus Proxy…
(which can be run as HA Addon - or standalone)…
Hi, does anyone knows how often solaredge updates its meter values? I’m polling every second and I see changes in values only every 5 seconds. Is this limitation on the solaredge side?
yes, inverter values are updating frequently, but the meter (external meter connected to inverter via modbus) values under m1_* are updated only every 5 sec.
