How to APsystems Modell EZ1-M monitoring

using the HACS Integration i do get some erros in the log:

Can anyone confirm the behavior?

There was a fix for the Apsystems EZ-1 API Python lib for better handling inverters that are offline: Minor refactoring and better handling for inverters that are offline by CM000n · Pull Request #6 · SonnenladenGmbH/APsystems-EZ1-API · GitHub

The fix ist already merged into the main branch but there was no newer release. So the custom component still has this problem.

Created the releases! Shame on me for forgetting that @CM000n and thanks again for your contributions!

hello,
and thanks for the update on this. I updated to 2.0.1 but still get errors:

and suggestion to this?

Looks like it is receiving a response from the OutputData endpoint, but it does not contain any data.
Strange behavior @Mawoka

Could you please open http://[IP_Address_of_the_inverter]/getOutputData in your webbrowser and send me the output of that? That would be really helpful.

tried to connect to the inverter via http://[IP_Address_of_the_inverter]/getOutputData …

“ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED” is the response … anything I needs to adjusted on the inverter to get the output?

Did you followed the instructions here @Monster_D GitHub - SonnenladenGmbH/APsystems-EZ1-API: The APsystems EZ1 Python library offers a streamlined interface for interacting with the local API of APsystems EZ1 Microinverters. ?

missed the PORT 8050 …
inverter-firmware: EZ1 1.6.0

{"data":{"p1":16,"e1":0.54192,"te1":13.19559,"p2":12,"e2":0.49503,"te2":8.68317},"message":"SUCCESS","deviceId":"E07000048699"}

are the return/output.

Firmware-Version is: EZ1 1.6.0

Error-Log looks like this:

What does the inverter response look like at the time when you receive the error from the python lib?

The error message sounds as if the python lib received a response from the inverter, but this response contains no or only incomplete information for the “data” key.

How to see the response of the inverter at the error times? Please advice on what to do.
Thanks

Do you mean if the values drop to unavailable for example? This was not seen. I will check again.

Just do, what @Mawoka said here How to APsystems Modell EZ1-M monitoring - #68 by Mawoka when the error occures next time.

Or is the output you already postet here How to APsystems Modell EZ1-M monitoring - #71 by Monster_D at error time? Because it looks completely normal.

I’m gonna log the response on error to the console in a future update, when I won’t forget it

Is there the posibility to increase the frequency of the sensor poll - e. set the refresh rate of APsystems Sunny Total Power to every 20 Seconds.

hello, i have some questions about th EZ1.
as i already have a whole solarsystem on solaredge and a smartmeter, I wonder if i can use this with a battery without solarpanels, can this charge the otherway around? so from grid to battery?(obvious only with a script when my solaredge is giving juise;) )

I’ve just pushed an update: It’s possible, but you’ll have to re-add your inverter.

Just wanted to say thank you for the EZ1 integration. Works like a charm. The only downside seems to be a rather complicated installation.

@Mawoka When I installed the integration today, there was this number “15” during the setup process. Is that the polling interval? I could not make sense of it first, because there was no label next to the input box.

The problem with the complicated installation will be fixed with the new version of HA. And regarding the number, you’re right, that is the polling interval.

That’s very cool! Just noticed you’re work in the HA repo :+1:.

Do you happen to know how the transition from the custom component is going to work?

Will the new first-party integration be able to take over the entity names and historical data from the current solution?

I’m wondering if I should maybe uninstall the third-party integration for now and wait for the next HA release.
