The growatt you have uses a shine-wifi X so the registers should be fine with the code for the wifi-X. When i have time I can search for the registers for your inverter specific. Else you can try the wifi-X module.

I have a growatt wifi that is uploading to the growatt site. that works fine, but the growatt addon that is downloading from the growatt website is causing problems every time, i donāt get the values in the Energy dashboard.
So i decided the use the RS485 signal to import the values for the energy dasboard.
And this is now my problem.
I use the wifi stick to upload to server.growatt.com, and want to use the RS485 to download the inverter values for the energy dashboard.

Hi,
Iām installing my 2KWp PV in the next few weeks and I choose a Growatt 2000 TL-X. Hope this works also with your code.
I want to set a export limitation. Does this code also allow to set registers? Or is this only for reading. I donāt want to by a extra Modbus-Smartmeter only for setting a export Limitation because e I have a Shelly 3EM and want to use this with HomeAssistant / NodeRed to set a export limitation dynamically.
Best regards
Dominic

Hi, I am looking for hints on this too. Should I first flash with the otti firmware? How to get started?
Connect the esp to a USB to serial adapter. Connect the serial adapter with your pc. Then upload the code with esphome. You can download the bin file and upload it with the esphome flasher Releases Ā· esphome/esphome-flasher Ā· GitHub
Or if you have a secure connection, you can upload the code in the browser.
@Dominic_bemila This is very interesting. I will look at that when I have some more spare time. I hope my inverter does support that function.
Hi, Iām also interested in flashing my shine wifi x as an ESPHome device but, then I guess the connection to Growatt cloud server will be lost, is this true? @WilbertV Thanks for your answer.
That is correct. That was the first reason why I did it. Local/reliable connection with home assistant was the second.
Thanks @WilbertV , I understand your point of view but for me the perfect solution would be to keep the connection with Growatt servers (to have stored all current and historical data) but to be able to connect also locally and without any delay (for example via modbus), using this connection with HA.
Has anyone here installed this on an esp32 and connected it to the rs485 RJ45 port on their growatt ? while also leaving the stock dongle in place and have both working?
Iv managed to really confuse myself.
From my understanding modbus has 1 master and all else are slaves, but then if that is the case how is my setup working? I have the stock standard dongle working, and my pylons are connected to my spf5000es by the rs485 RJ45 port (only way I could get BMS talking when I started) I would assume the dongle is the master on modbus. In the case of BMS connected on rs485 instead of can, is the battery a slave on modbus or the invertor.
My plan is to to see if I can get my BMS working via the can port, and then hook up an esp32 to the rs485 to get real-time readings using esphome. Currently using the Grott integration which works well, but 5 minute updates are not cutting it for my automations in HA.
Also anyone managed to program the invertor through esphome, update setting etc
Tried an esp32 with my growatt spf5000es, as I donāt want to risk buggering my shine F dongle just yet,
figured the esp32 although overkill may be more stable due to the extra memory and cpu. connected by the usb mini to the usb A port where the dongle goes on inverter. My registers are correct, logs specify that itās using the hardware uart0 but No comms. Tried both baud rates although shine F is 9600, any ideas?
That is a very interesting project. By reflashing the Shinestick I assume you lose cloud connection and more important update features I guess.
I have an SPH 3600 and a Shine-S connected to serial interface.
Do you think I can modify the Shine-X and connect it to the USB next to the Shine-S?
Hi, iād like to get update my shinewifi-x for my inverter MIN-6000TL-XH and so add it and configure with home assistant, can you help me? I have doubts about the better way to do this!
I hope your replies!!!
Thanks a lot!!!
Other doubt, with the update is it possible to read information in real time?
Just thought Iād share my configuration as well, based off of the excellent work of Wilbert (super bedankt!). I had some issues getting the right register definitions for my device. I have an SPH 4000TL3 BH and the cloud solution just wasnāt cutting it for me.
Please note that if you want to read too many modbus registers (at one point I had 3 register ranges with over 60 registers per range), the device WILL hang and reboot continuously (thanks to growattās lovely 9600 baud!). Iād love to look into the esp firmware and fix that (Iām an embedded s/w dev after all, should be easy-peasy, right?)
I am still having one issue, Iāve created a template sensor based on some of these growatt sensors, but itās not showing up in my energy dashboard, anyone know whatās going on? I replied to a similar issue discussion here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/creating-a-template-energy-sensor-for-energy-dashboard/328404/8
And now my config:
EDIT: FYI, I bought a second ShineWifi-S stick for this, didnāt want to void warranty on the original one

it is sort of, i have pretty much got it down to a 5 seconds interval. I could not get it to skip updates on the diagnostic sensors so i have disabled them because i donāt want to spam the home assistant recorder by non relevant data. by skipping updates on the diagnostic sensors it skips also the AcPower and in my case one of the strings.

Is the DcVoltage and DcInputCurrent in pasarns code combined from pv1 and pv2?
Really interesting work you are doing.
Is it possible to send commands to the inverter e.g. set the inverter to AC-charge?
Hi, I am going to try that! I have ordered the D1 mini now. One question: I already have a Wifi-X dongle connected to the USB port, do you think the WifiX and your solution connected on the COM port would work together?
Thanks!

Hello! I have a Growatt SPF5000ES with shineF. I bought a shineX, to replace the original shineF, and flash-it with JohnGalt1717 last yaml. The flash works without problem. But I donāt receive any data. I have tried with 9600 and 115200 bauds. Please, do you have any solutions? Thanks!
