Are you a lease or cash customer?
hi @dharp1935 - HA integration is still working with 2025.06, Build 61839. The app is now behind a paywall for me so i only get “current” data. I’m running a pi-hole (to block ads) so have added a couple of rules to (hopefully) block any further PVS6 firmware updates until we know whether Sunstrong is going to disable the currently open access to the local dl_cgi API…
I’m a cash customer. purchased the system in 2022.
What rules did you add to block updates?
FYI for anyone in the future, I would suggest looking up how to add WiFi and SSH at the initial install of your RPI OS. Things have changed since 2022. The guides are no longer correct if you’re installing an RPI OS created after 2022.
nevermind, figured it out.
Following the guides did not allow haproxy to work correctly
Network settings/setup must have changed in newer raspberry os’s
Wanted to share my experience here.
This is my system:
Hardware: PVS6
Firmware: 2025.06 build 61839
Install date: New Build Winter 2024
Local monitoring go-live: 06/20/2025
Setup the mango as a destination to forward the ports. Wrote up a guide as well, tried to simplify it so that it could be a bit more accessible to new folks. Please give me any feedback, it’s always welcome.
Thank you all for your contributions! Wanted to give back a bit with at least setting up a guide. Will continue to update it as best as I can.
Hi dmpd,
Thank you so much for these PDF instructions!! I started trying to add my PVS65 to HA yesterday, using Todd’s instructions at the top of this thread. I was having troubles and I spent this morning typing up my questions. I logged into this forum to post my questions and saw your PDF. What timing!!! :). With Todds info above and your instructions, I got it to work!!!
I had to reset the GL.iNet a few times, as I goofed on some of the instructions. But I wanted to point out what a few adjustments I needed near the end of your instructions.
pg 27 - Covered Networks, I had to also select “WWAN” since I am running the GL-iNet via its wifi repeater to get back into my Home Network. I hit “Save”, but also had to hit “Save & Apply” in order for it to really save.
Pg 29 - Firewall - Port Forwards, after making the adjustments, I hit “Save”, but also had to hit “Save & Apply” in order for it to really save.
Everything worked after that, and I was able to add the SunPower integration in HA. I’m now starting to dive in and learn which Dashboards to use.
And… Thank you to Todd for starting this thread and everyone’s input over the years!!!
Thank you!!

PS: I have a PVS5 and believe it’s not affected with the memory issues that the PVS6 has. Can anyone let me know if that is not the case. Much appreciated!!
Perfect! So happy it came in use.
I took your notes about the last Save & Apply and have updated the guide on pg 29.
I have another mango coming, and will work to add the wireless aspect to the guide. Could I ask that you drop a quick diagram of your network setup just so I can make sure to cover that type of deployment?
Thanks for the info. Just reconnected my system to get updates to help with flash memory. Fingers crossed.
@dmpd thanks for taking time to put this together. I have the mango setup and think it is so much easier than configuring a raspberry PI for interfacing with PVS5/6.
Thanks for posting the Unfi settings. I’ve set-up a “sunpower” network using the 172 subnet IP range but all I get is a “IP conflict detected. Please change gateway subnet IP.” error after wiring up to the port I set-up on the VLAN
Any ideas?
I have a PVS6 with no RJ45 network ports. I’m using a USB-ethernet adapter on the USB/LAN port
