Hi Everyone!
As discussed in more detail here I have started the process of moving the Growatt Server integration out of Home Assistant Core and into a custom integration. This will allow for much faster responses when there are issues with authenticating against the Growatt Servers as we’ve seen in recent months.
Over the next few weeks I will be removing the Growatt integration from the Core repository of Home Assistant, however, to give people time to switch over to the new integration I have already published it here (new repo) with a comprehensive guide on how to install it (it’s quite straight forward).
Once you have it installed, delete the previous integration and then switch to using the new one, step-by-step with pictures here
IMPORTANT: The new integration is the only place that new fixes & features will be released
Next steps:
- The documentation here (growatt_server) will be updated to recommend using the new integration instead
- The existing bugs against the Growatt integration in Home Assistant will be migrated/copied to the new repository
- New features & fixes will be worked on
I apologise for the inconvenience that this causes, however it’s in the interest of the stability of Home Assistant Core as well as the ability to provide swift responses to issues in the plugin that I’m making this change.
Any questions related to this, please add them as issues on the new repo here (issues) and I’ll respond as fast as I can.
