Givenergy - Bad connection Returned code= 5

Configuration
1

Hi,
Be gentle with me, complete HA Beginner here!
I am trying to set up my Givenergy solar system with HA using Mosquito. I have tried a few times now but I cant get it to play nicely. When I start the GivTCP I get a message in the log - ‘HA_Discovery - [ERROR] - Bad connection Returned code= 5’

Please can anyone tell me where I start trying to figure this out?
Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi

I am struggling with the same problem. I did have givtcp working with MQTT but I updated HA and now cannot access givtcp devices. I had some nice gauges working but they are now have error messages. I get same error message as above about HA discovery. MQTT shows no error messages in the log. If you have pasted the MQTT password in twice, can you tell me where so that I can try to fix?

Thanks

Rob
