for the IP I have the IP that the inverter receives on the local network. The port is the same. And I have the advanced ticked.
One thing you have to make sure is you cannot be logged in the admin account anywhere else. it only accepts one connection this way.
Oh, the trick that I do (because Home Assistant and the inverter are not connected to the same router) is to connect the HA server directly to the inverterās Wifi, so the IP is the inverterās autogenerated IP inside itās access point.
Now my Home Assistant has two connections: a wired one with a LAN cable to router with internet, and a wireless wifi connection directly to the inverter.
Maybe thereās something I can do to elevate permissions this way, the error I get is this:

sorry i cannot help you with this. my inverter is connected via wifi to the same router as HA and it works this way very well.
Nevermind, new release fixed it! Now I have a deeper control and see the optimizers
well no I am interested in you setup 
care to give more details about how you set it up?
Well, you have to go to settings - System - Network and open wifi, then select your inverter wifi and connect (default password is Changeme).
After this, just go to Huawei Solar and configure with IP 192.168.200.1 port 6607, ID 0, and check āadvanced, elevate permissionsā .
Thatās it
Damn I need a wifi card in my home assistance VM then. Cool! Iāll try!
what optimizers are there available through this method?
I guess Huawei optimizers only. I have 10 optimizers, they all show a lot of items, Iām trying to see how they behave through the day, with different shadows around, so Iām focused in ĪW (difference in watts) to see how they change depending on the time.

Hi everyone,
First off, huge thanks to everyone for the wealth of information shared in this thread! It has been invaluable in helping me connect my Home Assistant setup to my Huawei PV system via the Huawei Solar integration (using the installer password as said in the integration documentation and also in Huawei sun2000-5ktl-l1 inverter without dongle - #4 by luciandf).
For anyone else whoās struggling with the connection as I was, hereās a quick tip: I had to plug in a separate Wi-Fi interface to my Home Assistant instance and connect directly to the inverterās hotspot as pointed out by @mabusdogma in Huawei sun2000-5ktl-l1 inverter without dongle - #26 by mabusdogma . Unfortunately, I couldnāt get it to work using the inverterās IP on my local network. A bit of a setback, but at least itās up and running now, and I can start pulling data from the system.
Now itās time to dig deeper into automations based on solar production data. Excited to learn more!
Setup details:
Hope this helps someone else facing similar challenges!
i am having trouble connecting to the inverter wlan with the separate wifi card i forwarded to the homeassistant vm.
it cannot see any of the inverter networks present in the area. maybe i got the wrong wifi adapter. it is a tplink with wifi n only i think.
Iām adding this because I wasted plenty of my time on this. If you have a dongle and HA is not able to initialize the integration, remove it. My dongle (with ethernet cable) was configured, the inverter was correctly connected to the cloud, O&M was enabled, Modbus TCP enabled (unrestricted) and reachable at port 502. Despite this, HA was only able to initialize the connection, only to fail some seconds later.
Then I tried to connect the inverter to my Wi-Fi, but as long as the dongle was plugged into the inverter, the android app did not let me configure the Wi-Fi connection. Only after unplugging the dongle I was able to see the dropdown list with the available networks.
i donāt have a dongle. I have setup a raspberry pi closer to the inverter and I am going to use it as a bridge. I will have to see if this changes anything.
it is weird. ever since I connected the battery, the energy consumption is all wrong. it looks as if I consume a lot more from the grid now although the battery is only set to be charged from the panels.
Sorry luciandf, my message wasnāt meant as a response to yours. I just wanted to share a reminder for anyone else who might have the same issue I did.
