Is there any outstanding requests to integrate Q CELLS solar and battery systems into HA ?
Used to have a Fronius system but had to change over to a Q.Cell

Do you have any pics of your Inverter and battery?

The systems I have seen look like rebranded SolaX hardware.
So there is potential to add support to my SolaX Integration.

thanks gave your Solax ago , but it fails due to USB port ! , QCell (qcommand) uses http…
gave the other solax integration ago , this required ip address with is ok , but also requires a password … no password set for my invertor … therefore was unable to complete integration.

BUT found a live JSON file sitting on the invertor’s IP address call alldata. using the multiple REST sensors , I’m able to extra live data from the invertor.

Thanks for your suggestion

Your Inverter will either have built in ethernet (not an external dongle) or you will connect with a RS485 - USB adaptor.

klaasnicolaas · August 22, 2022, 8:26am

What data can you get from that rest API? Maybe it would be nice to make an integration for that.

QCELLSGGE · January 30, 2023, 5:01pm

@klaasnicolaas This is what I get when I use curl to address the inverter in my home network:

It would be great to have HA integration to read out the data an present it in an easy to use dashboard.
Maybe someone has done it already and I just have not found it yet.

klaasnicolaas · January 30, 2023, 7:01pm

Do you also get information back when you visit http://IP_ADDRESS/alldata? For example when you do this in Postman.

andryyy · February 10, 2023, 4:46am

Hi,

@klaasnicolaas - here is the alldata output: JSON Blob | 1073464536463589376 We just completed the installation, so these very low values are correct. It hasn’t even seen a full day.

André

klaasnicolaas · February 10, 2023, 2:21pm

So that’s a lot of data!

Not too difficult to make an integration for that. I just don’t know anything about Q CELLS myself, so when I make something, I do depend on remote testing to see if code works properly.

andryyy · February 11, 2023, 5:42am

No worries, I will help!
I also have a PAC2200 to verify some values.

It’s nice it also lists the current Hz, cannot see that in the user UI.

klaasnicolaas · March 2, 2023, 1:06am

I’m slowly writing some code to read out the data from Q Cells. Which information would we initially like to read out, which I could process in the entities.

leeb98 · March 2, 2023, 1:38am

this is what I had before they change the JSON format on me…
I was able to use these within HA Energy Panel.

So these would be nice

I would be happy to assist though my knowledge is limited I have just had qcell q.store and q.volt installed and would like to be able to see the battery on the energy dash board.

klaasnicolaas · March 29, 2023, 4:55pm

Perhaps you can give me some insight into which primay components (inverter, battary etc.) the QCells system contains, because I eventually want to group the entities based on what it belongs to.

Meter
Battery
Inverter

smacpi · April 1, 2023, 10:19am

My system primary componets are an Invertor, My system has 2No 6.8 kw batteries , the max is 3No batteries,
the break down Leeb98 had is exactly the elements i would be looking to use

smacpi · April 13, 2023, 1:57pm

thanks for this appears to be working for me to but would be good to have formal integration

smacpi · May 22, 2023, 11:55am

Has this stopped working for anyone else .my invertor not producing the JSOn any more. ONline service working ok from qcell

leeb98 · May 23, 2023, 4:36am

Does the JSON file just show an error code ?

Have you tried a COMPLETE reboot of your QCELLS system ?
Note: When rebooting , POWER the invertor (first) and then batteries and power back on in reserve order , BUT leave powered off for about 10 mins … Was instructed by QCELL to do this , but they left out the leave for 10 mins … and clarified this later on

smacpi · May 23, 2023, 9:57am

yes json just shows error code. i can give the power off a try
