How to setup the "Solis-Modbus-Auto-Charging-using-Solax" dashboard?

1

I’ve installed the Solis-Modbus-Auto-Charging-using-Solax dashboard from all the YAML files here: Solis-Modbus-Auto-Charging-using-Solax/Automations.md at 43c6170455bc64eb8351acc069cbeeadb62b8c5b · LucidityCrash/Solis-Modbus-Auto-Charging-using-Solax · GitHub

It appears to be working but with warnings of entities not found. I have resolved many of them by going through the code and changing Solax to Solis, as I have a Solis inverter and had used the Solis version of the Solax Modbus integration config.

e.g. “number.solis_timed_charge_current Entity not found” and similar relating to the charge start and end times.

I’m also a bit puzzled as to how this setup can control battery charging as there seem to be no mention of commands going back to the inverter via Modbus, MQQT or RS485, etc. in any of the automations.

Can anyone enlighten me?

that repo is fork of another project. I too have a Solis inverter and I started to try and adapt it for my use, unfortunately I ran out of time and didn’t finish … no idea what state my repo is in or how it was intended to work I’m afraid.

been thinking about revisiting some kind of smart charging again as my current basic automations really don’t meet my needs.

It might also be worth looking at : GitHub - fboundy/ha_solis_modbus: YAML file for reading Solis Hybrid Inverter directly with HA native modbus
