Home Assistant and SMA

Hey there,

Iam rather new to the HA topic and Iam struggling integrating my PV system.
First of all: my pv system consists of the Sunny Tripower 20000, the SunnyBoy Storage 3.7 and the Sunny Home Manger 2.0.

With the SMA energy meter AddOn Iam able to see the grid consumption / supply.
For the rest of the data (SoC battery, current pv power, …) I need to connect to the Inverter itself (Tripower 20000) and the battery inverter (Sunny Boy Storage) and that is my problem right now.
I tried the SMA integration; there I need to login with the correct IP adress and the password. There is always “No connection” as an error message. I thinkt the Tripower 20000 has no web interface so I cannot use the official SMA integration.

The battery inverter has a a web interface and I still cannot login via the SMA integration in HA. If I use the IP address from the battery inverter in my browser Iam able to login.

Then I tried to reach the inverter via SunSpec; same problem “No connection”.
I activated Modbus on the inverter; doesnt change anything.

Does anyone has the same pv configuration and could help?

Thanks!

Okay, I got the battery running with the SMA solar integration. Now “only” the inverter is missing. I have the correct ip address, the correct password and Iam still not able to connect.

You’ll have to use some other method. That model is not compatible with the SMA integration.

FYI the SMA energy meter is incredibly inaccurate. I will soon be removing mine and replacing it with an IoTaWatt.

Okay, thank you.

Right now I have access to the battery data (through SMA Solar integration) and to the Home Manager (through SMA Energy meter app).
I tried to use SunSpec for the inverter. Iam not sure how to configure the integration?
After just activating all options I got 14 devices with 90 entities. Where do I see the current yield, daily yield etc.?


Hmmm. I was able to monitor the inverter via Sunspec for a day. I think after sunset the inverter shuts off some sensors and Sunspec loses the connection. After sunrise it does not work again.

Has anyone the Tripower 20k and could help?
