Platform SolarEdge

Configuration
1

Trying to include SolarEdge platform in HomeAssistant. Has followed HA instruction of SolarEdge which I have put in configuration.yaml.
I get that error:

Invalid config
The following integrations and platforms could not be set up:

sensors
Please check your config.

What can you do, you need more sensors in addition to SolarEdge

# Example configuration.yaml entry
solaredge:
   api_key: kr45KL78 .......
   site_id: 754 .....

# Example configuration.yaml entry for template platform
sensors:
   platform: template
   sensors:
     solaredge_energy_this_year_template:
       value_template: "{{(states ('sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year') | float / 1000) | round (2)}}"

To be honest it looks correct. The single quote vs double quote placement is the only difference I see between what you have and what I have:

value_template: '{{(states("sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year") | float / 1000) | round(2)}}'

Also double check to make sure you actually have an entity sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year

You should no longer use a config in configuration.yaml. Solaredge now supports adding and configuration via Configuration --> Integrations --> press the + in the right lower corner --> enter solaredge --> select the Solaredge entry and enter the requested information in the window(s) that are popping up.

Thanks for that, I did so and work.

Great!

I tried this. When I click submit, it “spins” and then does nothing. Does that mean one of my variables is incorrect?

7

Just after you see the spinning, go to Logs and look for the error related to this. If your don’t understand what is wrong, post the error-text here.

8

I just tried and nothing populates in the logs. Should I just try to restart?

9

Maybe let it spin for a while (3 mins), then have another look? Maybe there’s a timeout in the code or you server is slow?

10

It spins for a second or two then goes back to showing “submit” again.

I don’t use this so I can only provide general help :slight_smile:
Did you read the “manual”? https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/solaredge/

12

Yea, I tried editing the config yaml directly and got this error:
ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.homeassistant] Invalid config for [solaredge]: [subscriber_id] is an invalid option for [solaredge]. Check: solaredge->solaredge->subscriber_id. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 15).

13

Ok I’m looking at the code, it is asking for a site_id and an api key. And there should be a default name?

You are sure you have the correct id and key?

I’m now seeing that several errors will not show up as a message and or in Logs.
You should create an issue on the Home Assistant Core github, there you will get the help you need.

Appreciate your help - will do.

Hello,

For some reason last days i get failure that entity sensor SolarEdge is not available:

Entiteit niet beschikbaar: sensor.solaredge_current_power

I tried to make new API key and so on but this didn’t help. Until last week all works well.

In logbook I don’t see strange things

Does someone have any idea what this is and how to solve?

Thanks
