Yesterday I activated my Growatt PV installation.
The Growatt integration in HA works like a charm.
Unfortunately, I miss a sensor for each string (I have two MPP trackers in my Growatt inverter.)
Could you add sensors for the individual trackers to the HA Growatt integration?
Thank you very much!
Iām about to have a growatt PV installation too.
Which inverter do you have and what sensors is HA pulling atm?
Did you get the energy meter installed too?
Thanks.
I have an MIN 3000TL-XE
Currently six entityās in home assistant.
Donāt know what you mean with an energy meter.
What the issue probably is, is that your inverter is of a type that is not currently supported in this case the integration has no other choice than to log it and ignore that device.
Iāll refer you to these github issues for some more information
Hopefully if Add support for tlx-device by spockster1985 Ā· Pull Request #38908 Ā· home-assistant/core Ā· GitHub gets fixed and merged your device might be supported
One important information that could be added is montly power. This Month(kWh)ļ¼
Cause in Growatt inverter we have Actual in W, by Day KWH, by month KWH and by year KWH.
Another suggestion is leave some open configuration to set different currencies, cause this feature is using only Euros.
Thank you for your reply.
I activated the logging as suggested in one of the posts you mentioned and got this line back:
2021-07-13 11:06:12 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.growatt_server.sensor] Device type tlx was found but is not supported right now
So I hope the tlx device will be added soon 
If you need any help or data to speed up adding this device, please let me know. I am happy to help.
The smart meter is an extra meter (SDM230 Modbus) that goes in meter box to provide information such as total house load consumption, and how much power is being pumped/pulled from the grid.
My Inverter has two input too, and both are connected, but Iām only getting the total from both.
Does anyone know how to go about making a request to try get these extra sensors implemented?
Seems like it would be extra great having these sensors especially with the new Energy functions in HA.
Hi, I have a so called smart meter (electricity meter) in my home that is equipped with a P1 port (DSMR Slimme Meter - Home Assistant)
This gives me all the information your extra meter is providing.
The support for the TL-X(E) inverter is almost finished. (after that, the measurements for the individual strings for the TLX device will be added to Home Assistant.)
Donāt know if your inverter is using TLX as device type (probably not)
Maybe you can add the following to your configuration.yaml (Configuration.yaml - Home Assistant)
# Logger entitys
logger:
default: error
logs:
homeassistant.components.growatt_server: debug
In the log section of home assistant settings you can find information when the inverter is not recognized by the integration.
this will look something like this:
2021-07-13 11:06:12 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.growatt_server.sensor] Device type tlx was found but is not supported right now
I have a min5000tl-x inverter. Is that what you mean by device type ātlxā?
My smart meter shows up in the shine app (and Growatt server) to show load consumption/grid consumption vs solar generation. It does only show this when the inverter is running during the day. Iām thinking of wiring in an rs845 to USB and use the modbus integration to get readings from the energy meter 24/7.
For now, it would be great if the Growatt integration just pulled that info too.
Is there a summary/list of what extra sensors/data will be available after the update please?
Thank you.
These are the new sensors when the TLX type inverter is added to the growatt integration:
The data is provided by a Growatt Shinelan-x\Shinewifi-x, plugged in the min3000tl-x that uploads to server.growatt.com.
This integration only reports the production of my PV installation. Not the grid consumption\delivery.
In my situation I donāt have a modbus and use an entirely different integration for the power consumption and delivery of my home to the grid (the DSMR implementation)
Hope this helps.
This is great! Thanks for the info - really looking forward to the update.
Looking at the list, there isnāt anything that mentions load consumption or grid import/export for example.
I understand your hardware is different, but due to me having the smart meter providing the info directly to the inverter via modbus, will I have those extra sensors or have they not been implemented at all?
This feature request will be resolved by the following PR:
Maybe you can make a screenshot of the values you are seeing.
(in the ShinePhone app go to the installation tab. Click on the inverter below āmy devicesā and then click on āall parametersā) below screenshots of my inverter.
We can add sensors in the future but I canāt test or see which sensors you would need, for that I would need the screenshots.
Sounds good.
Iām waiting for the installers to come back as they hooked up the Smart meter incorrectly.
But from what itās showing in the app, Iām hoping to pull in active_energy (house load consumption), user_energy and grid_energy.
Iām not sure if any of the other information will be useful at this stage.
Great effort!
However all values keep at zero:
Any suggestions how to debug that?
it would also be great if we can get the year devices, as on my script what ive used some time ago i could retrieve all yearly total dates from Growatt
Hi folks.
Just a quick questionā¦can you use the house load detection to work out consumption.?
Just wondering if I need a smart meter as well when I get my growatt stuff done next monthā¦
Hi,
See my screenshots below.
I have a Growatt 9000 TL3-X 3-fase with a ShineLAN-X datalogger, which works partly. I do miss a lot of information (they stay zero) especially from the 2 separate MPTTās.
This information is available in the Growatt portal (see 3rd screenshot), but stays empty in HA. (see 2nd screenshot)
The totalās do work as expected (see 1st screenshot)
As the data is availble in the portal and the entities are created, it seems like this is a bug.
Any help is more than welcome.
First of all, thank you for your work creating this HA integration.
Right now, as @RienduPre said, for my setup, the Growatt integration only generates sensors related to solar production. I do not get any sensor related to load consumption, kwh exported to grid or imported from grid. So right now the integration is useless as I canāt setup properly the HA energy dashboard.
My inverter is a Growatt mod. 10KTL3-XH
Please, could it be possible to integrate the needed data?
From the growatt app, all info is available, I do not get what only 1/3 of the data fields are obtained.
Thanks again.
Hi Everyone,
Firstly, let me say āhiā, Iām Chris aka āmuppet3000ā who maintains the Growatt Integration for Home Assistant.
Secondly, sorry for the massive cross-post on all the forum topics with āGrowattā in the title, it was just easier to copy/paste this everywhere.
Thirdly, I didnāt realise how many forum posts there were for Growatt and the Integration!!! I must admit I find the forums very difficult to follow and navigate so I donāt spend much time here.
I mainly wanted to post to draw everyoneās attention to the following info:
1 - Iāve started maintaining the Integration primarily as a ācustom integrationā which you can find here
2 - Thereās a handy Info page for the custom integration here
3 - I will periodically roll up changes from the custom integration into the Core one in Home Assistant but this will not be very regularly
4 - Thereās a prioritised list of bugs/feature requests that Iām working on here
5 - Thereās a more thorough reasoning for my decision to move this into a custom integration here
6 - One thing thatās missing from the Feature Requests etc. is the addition to configure systems - Iām working on it, but itās a background task until I have added support for all the different types of systems - Add ideas here if you have thoughts on what youād like to be able to do.
7 - If you want to log issues or feature requests please do it here - Only there and in the Home Assistant Core repo will I actually see them, like I said I donāt actively monitor the forums, so the official repos are the best places!
8 - Please donāt assume that Iāve read this thread in a huge amount of detail, if feature requests etc. that have been requested in this thread are still relevant, please log them over on the new git repo here and Iāll get them prioritised - PLEASE read through the issues already logged first to check youāre not duplicating requests.
I hope all that makes sense, Iāve marked this thread as āwatchingā so Iāll get notifications if people respond etc. but getting hold of me via the git repo issues section is the best way.
C
