Has anyone had success installing and using this Add-On with a Deye inverter?
I know it is built for Sunsynk but it does say that people have had success with Deye as well which is essentially the same hybrid inverter with different branding.
I am seeing a lot of issues with the integration of inverters Deye/Sunsynk. Hopefully, this helps some. If you’re using the inverter with the E-Linter data logger use gdwaterworth solution (Unfortunately not local LAN). If you’re using the inverter with the Solarman data logger, use Stephan solution (Local LAN).
See attached image to figure out which logger you have and then pick a solution. I have tested both solutions in the South African market.
I have a Bosswerk MI600 which is (according to my information) a re.branded Inverter and the same like the Deye 600.
The Bosswerk works perfectly with the Omnik Integration:
The best option is to buy solarassitant. It runs on an raspberry pi. Then use mqqt to let solarassistant communicate with home-assistant. Is it working fine by me for at least 2 years.
Hi - I have a Sunsynk inverter installed in an off-grid guesthouse in the Western Cape. The house itself uses a lot of home automation features. My primary hub is Alexa, but there are devices connected to Alexa via eWelink, Smartthings, SmartLife, and NetHome.
I’m desperately looking for somebody to help me integrate my Sunsynk and SolarMD configuration into one of these platforms. At the very simplest level, I’d like to be able to monitor the SOC of my batteries and trigger smart home functions (like turn off air conditioners at some threshold, etc)
I’m not looking for just another phone-based autonymous monitoring app.
I’m unsure if I can leave contact information here, but our guest house is called “The Unbound.” (in South Africa, not Amsterdam) Feel free to Google that and connect with us via the website.
Our guests keep running the batteries down with no warning, and I’m happy to compensate somebody to help me solve this problem.
I’m trying to follow the E-Linter-Logger solution but I have an issue with Nodered steps ! I import without problem the flows in node and added palettes but I can’t get it how to setup the long live token in NodeRed ! I don’t have the exact same in my Nodered:
Someone knows what’s wrong ?
Hello,
I ordered Deye Hybrid SUN-8K-SG01LP1. What is the way to integrate it in HA? Can i use TCP over the Wifi or i need an additional device attached to read Modbus?
Thanks, do you have the steps for the integration, I tried the one on solar assistant site and it does not work. I am getting error on mqtt “Client local.core-mosquitto.SolarAssistant disconnected: Broken pipe”. Thanks Sunil
old thread I know - but for completeness for anyone else… for Deye you can use solarman (integration connects to wifi adapter that comes with Deye inverter) or you can use Heinz’s option (esp32 that connects via rs485 to inverter and shows up as an ESPHOME integration) from here http://smarthomeintegrations.co.za/
I just had a system installed in the UK with SUN-7K-SG05LP1 (7kWh Hybrid ECCO).
At first I set up Solarsynk v3 add-on which connects to the Sunsynk.net api, so cloud based, which worked fine, but only refreshes every few minutes and I don’t want cloud, but it works in as pinch until you have some extra hardware.
In the meantime, I ordered a USR-W630 RS485/MODBUS adapter and wired it into the inverter with a CAN/RS485 splitter and it’s working perfectly with the kellerza/sunsynk add-on. I get much more frequent updates, I’ve got it set to 60 seconds currently.
The device I got was from AliExpress from the manufacturers store, the manufacturer is PUSR, it has WiFi (2.4GHz) and 3 ethernet ports (1 WAN/2 LAN). There’s zero documentation but it’s wasnt too hard to configure.
One important point of note, even with a cable a short as ~40cm between the inverter and the W630 the data was corrupted, I could only get it to read the MODBUS data intermittently and only for the initial short request for inverter serial number, so I put a 120Ohm resistor between the A and B lines by screwing it into the terminals on the W630 and it started working perfectly.
I now have a ~3m run of Cat6 running from the inverter into the house where the W630 is plugged into the mains and the RS485 signal is flawless (as it’s the WiFi signal, but I plan to hard wire it to my network eventually).
I’m trying to control my SunSynk 5K inverter with my Home Automation Green using this Add-on. I can control my inverter from the Sunsynk cloud, so am trying to use the Solarman driver to connect to and control the inverter. I have an e-linter logger not a Solarman one. I’m fine with low granularity as this is mainly to change the grid/battery settings depending on Octopus tariff announcements and EV charging times. Unfortunately the logs show the following error:
ValueError: Error loading config: invalid value for type, expected int @ $.inverters[0].dongle_serial_number
That is because my wifi stick (e-linter) in the RS485 port of my inverter has serial number: E47****9U89, i.e. it is not an integer value. The dongle hardware version: AEW2-0005-03 software version: 4790123B24R
Does anyone know a work-around to this issue?
Are there any plans to update the kellerza/sunsynk Add-on to support wifi sticks with alphanumeric serial numbers?
I suspect I mean support SunSynk wifi sticks that communicate with the sunsynk.net cloud.
