I tried for couple days to fix ethernet TCP ,all the time ,remote computer refuse conection error,finally conected over WIFI port 6607 and all data collected
Hi @rikerik,
Which HA integration are you using to allow charge/discharge control and changing of the mode between MaximumConsumption and TOU?
Iām using the integration by tijsverkoyen (Commits Ā· tijsverkoyen/HomeAssistant-FusionSolar Ā· GitHub) but canāt find these options.
Thanks.
I want to charge my battery between 02:00 and 05:00 and discharge it between 17:00 and 19:00. Outside these time windows I want Maximum Self-Consumption mode, but, between 05:00 and 17:00 I want to prevent the battery from discharging below 50% of battery capacity, so that I have at least that capacity available for use during 17:00 t0 19:00. I have used TOU charge/discharge segments for the two time windows and successfully automate switching between TOU and Max Self-Cons modes, to get the charging and discharging required during the desired times.
My problem is reserving 50% of battery capacity between 05:00 and 17:00. I have tried the following automation. It works if I trigger it manually, but does not trigger when the battery capacity reduces to 50% or less. Any suggestions to make this work?

I seem to be running into an issueā¦but not all the time. Every second or third time I try to run my script to āenable charge from gridā and then run āforcible charge to SoCā I get an error āslave busyā. Is there any workaround for this?
Most of people discussing here use wlcrs integration
Yes, thatās what I am using
My reply was to @Mav70 , it is shown in the top right corner of the post.

Thanks @malakudi
Can you retry with the latest beta? Iāve implemented a retry-mechanism to combat this problem.

Hacs is currently showing me beta7 as latest which I currently useā¦is there a newer one?
Nope, that was the version I was referring to. I already retry doing the write-operation to the inverter 3 times, with an exponential backoff in between.
Out of curiosity: have you tried to add a delay between the various operations you perform on the battery? Does it help/can you try this please?

I am and I will. This project is still in the early stages for me and since some of the errors (like the system getting stuck in āforce Chargeā mode and no longer discharging the battery) happen only intermittently and often donāt result in an error message at all this is not easy.
I have modified my script and automation now and will see how it performs in the next cycle. If I find anything interesting I will post it here.
So far I canāt really see any patterns to any of the errorsā¦my best guess is that there os some kind of collision between some internal timers on the Dongle/Inverter and the HA integrationā¦ but that is pure speculation at this point.
My daily solar yield does not agree with fusionsolar data.
I use the formula that is on the wiki to take into account the inverter efficiency, then produce a riemann sum
However, every day, fusionsolar has a lower value for daily yield. For example:
12/01/2022: HA => 11.49 KWh FS => 10.76 KWh 6,78% diff
11/01/2022: HA => 10.66 KWh FS => 9.65 KWh 10,46% diff
10/01/2022: HA => 3.78 KWh FS => 3.33 KWh 13,5% diff
09/01/2022: HA => 6.99 KWh FS => 6.53 KWh 7% diff
Any idea why this happens? Anyone figured out how fusionsolar calculates the daily yield?
Fusion Solar has a very weird way of calculating yield. For some reason the yield starts going down at the end of the day, often all the way to 0 overnight. No clue what that is all about and how to read it correctly.
Soā¦my automation did not trigger yesterday, but it did trigger today (just now actually) but the battery has gone āofflineā for the night and sending the Enable Charge from Grid and Forcible Charge to SoC commands were completely ignored. I will check whether the repeated requests actually wake anything, and if not then I guess it is time to look at way of getting the charging times loaded into the TOU entitiesā¦
Update: it seems like itās a good think that I have the automation in a 30 Minute timer. On the second run it actually started and is running now.
This is the situation I think Iāll find myself in.
Iāve recently purchased the dongle. I hard wired the connection via RJ45 cable. The LED solid green. The inverter lost itās connection to the net as I guess the routes were wrong in my set up. Unplugged it, Fusion Solar platform connected once again.
Am I able to create my own installer login or do I need to have an actual installer create an account for me (or indeed configure the dongle for my inverter)? Is there a verification process or the like where they check who you are?
Iāve contacted my original installers but theyāre swamped being close the holiday season and arenāt sure if theyāll do it or not.
Am keen to get this up and running and getting visibilty again.
Is there any risk in deleting my inverter and adding it again functionally if I get it wrong?
Thank you!
There is a pretty simple way of porting your plant into your own installer account. All you need to do is āunbindā it in Fusion Solar and then import it into your own installer account.
There are a few snags (that can be easily fixed without risk) and you might lose the historical data you had in Fusion Solar, but thatās really all there is.
The safest and easiest way though is to log onto the inverter locally with the sun2000 app and enable modbus/tcp. Then you can store data and control the plant from Home Assistant and leave everything else as-is. The problem with this is, you wonāt be able to do firmware Updates yourself, only the Installer can.

I just need to find the installer password.
The two that I thought it might be didnāt work.
Thanks for the tips!
Iāll try the simplest one first.
