Has anyone managed to get these type of inverter / battery into HA, I’ve tried via the LAN interface, ESP32 with BLE but this can’t discover unknown devices and connect to them, I see the bluetooth device but can’t connet , tried RS485 > ETH POE (B) and still can’t get anything.
Can’t seem to find an integration for these anywhere.
you will need as per the instructions there a Waveshare RS485 to Ethernet - I used the PoE version.
When your following those instructions you will find your RS485 connector is different, you don’t need to buy anything here, your inverter has the connector, but it’s this - use pins 7 & 9
Once you’ve setup your waveshare device install the integration, you’ll find this won’t work out of the box, or it may, if it doesn’t then do the following, using HA’s file editor edit the following files from under the directory of “Custom_components , cyg_skyline” place the # in front of the following to ensure this code is not used
Awesome info, thanks for posting. I am just waiting on the waveshare to get this setup. Can you control the inverter (change settings) with it or is it just to read data?
You can change some bits like charge rates to and from solar / grid etc this is great for me having a Tesla battery also, so HA allows me to work these in tandom better.
Here are the bits - other than that it's quite a few sensors.
