Hi Guy,

thanks so much for the hard work you’ve put into this. Can you please give me access to the integration as well I’ve sent you an email. I’ve only just got HomeAssistant up and running so pretty new to all this.

Thanks!

Dave

Hi I’m new as well . I want to add my lux inverter to HA but so it works with Octopus inteleggent go. I’ve not been able to get my inverter to charge my batteries when the octopus signal turns to on if that makes sence. Is this the right place to ask?

Thanks

Jon

This is the right place. I will be getting IOG when my EV arrives in April. I will be looking to do the same thing as you. I am about to have a Shelly EM Pro installed to monitor the charger (which I already have). I have a test automation ready. I will ask my friend to come over and charge their car and trigger via the Shelly. Once I have IOG, I will switch that to BootleCapDaves integration.

All, fyi: there is parallel effort to integrate EG4 inverters, which seem to be a rebrand of lux inverters. There is an older GitHub - galets/eg4-modbus-monitor: Monitor EG4 Inverters and GridBOSS via wired RS485 connection · GitHub project, which I no longer maintain, it’s now superceded with GitHub - galets/eg4-dongle · GitHub

Project originated here: EG4 WiFi + Ethernet Dongle - Installing ESPHome | DIY Solar Power Forum . I googled for Lux wifi dongle and it looks pretty much the same as the EG4. In a nutshell, the dongle is straight up ESP32 chip with RS485 interface; the project documents how to re-flash the dongle with ESPHome.

If anybody here is interested and willing to try this, please do report your findings. If it works, I can update the documentation with Lux-specific config

Great idea! It’s definitely something I would have liked to try but the older BA dongles ran a weird MICO firmeware so I could never flash the damn thing!

The LUX unare are exactly that, just rebrands only the gridboss has weird registers and I understand they have been found as well now.

Hey, fyi, I have some rust code and have mostly decoded the full modbus protocol for the EG4 18kPV. You're welcome to grab some of the functionality from it. I forked it form some old project that the maintainer stopped maintaining and then added a whole bunch of functionality including the abillity to adjust the frequency shifting settings since EG4's installer interface still does not work for this.. but its nice to see this finally being added directly to esphome. The code below is a homeassistant add on that talks directly via IP to the dongle that EG4 provides.
