Growatt Inverter On/Off/Pause

Hi,

how and with what did you integrate the inverter into Home Assistant? If you have/use a Growatt Shine Stick you can flash ESPHome on it and then integrate the inverter with Home Assistant via ESPHome. See:

ESPHome modbus Growatt ShineWiFi-S

Hello all. I have a growatt solar inverter. This has a ShineWiFi-S module to read the inverter with modbus. i found https://github.com/otti/Growatt_ShineWiFi-S and converted the arduino code to esphome. I would like to share the ESPHome yaml. The EnergyTotal sensor is configured to get it in the energy dashboard. substitutions: device_description: Growatt Inverter friendly_name: Growatt Inverter name: Growatt esphome: name: growatt esp8266: board: esp07s # Enable logging logge…

FYI: GPIO0 and Ground must be connected by a bridge so that the stick goes into flash mode.

With ESPHome you can set the Max Output Power for the inverter

number:
  - platform: modbus_controller
    name: "${devicename} Max Output Power"
    address: 3
    value_type: U_WORD
    min_value: 0
    max_value: 100
    entity_category: config

and use it for/on automation. If … then set Max Output Power to 50, 25, 10 or whatever.
