Hi,
similare issue for me, warnings returns this: 
Voltronic VMIII 50000W, firmware U1:47.00, U2: 02.70, U3: 00.24
Did anybody find a solution for it?
Thanks for everyone who’s contributed to this. Just tried the @catalinbordan fork and was quickly able to get data into Home Assistant right as the sun was setting. Saw PV data streaming in and it was great.
Now that the sun is down, I wanted to see the load data. Turned on my inverter via the switch (usually is off to only run the mppt side of things), and doesn’t seem to show load info. It says 0, but I’m definitely charging my computer from it right now. Any idea why load data might not be working? It’s a PIP1012LV-MS and using the USB cable from it into the pi.
*Note, I didn’t look at my inverter serial number and thus didn’t change it in mqtt.json, but I assume that doesn’t effect anything other than a label…

1.What it is the protocol code for your inverter?(command for that it is QPI). It should be PI30.
2. According to the manual you have a warning: “LINE FAIL”
QPI returns PI30
Do you know what Line Fail means?
Also, after yesterday’s success, today I can see data using the inverter_poller command directly, but nothing is getting passed to home assistant. Everything says “UNKNOWN.”
pi@betty:~ $ sudo docker exec -it voltronic-mqtt bash -c '/opt/inverter-cli/bin/inverter_poller -r QPI'

@Andre_Magro @catalinbordan
Hello, thank you so much for help. I found how to read the data from my inverter Isolar Hybrid 5.5kw. I used catalin’s fork and andres’s set baud rate.
Catalin’s fork and after that this
sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 sane (to first clean all the settings)
sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 2400 raw -echo (without the first command this one did not work)
cat /dev/ttyUSB0 (to confirm that data is passing by the rs232 usb adapter)
Thank you very both for help now I can read data from inverter.
Cheers

1.strange, your raw output from debug it is not according manual.
2. do not know, manual do not say…
3. did you do step 8. 1? sudo nano config/mqtt.json (change it with your variables)
Question. Why I have that in warnings, it is number 17 and in manual mean eeprom fault, is it problem or how to fix it.

The load output seems to be intermittent. Not sure why, but I would guess something to do with the inverter.
I did do step 8.
After some testing (restarting the container, restarting the pi, changing mqtt.json), it seems I can only get the container to pass along data to home assistant if I go through all the steps, edit the mqtt.json, and rebuild the container. Everything else didn’t change the “unknown” data. But first load after fresh build of the container has data stream into home assistant. Even maintained connection after an overnight where the inverter turns off. So that’s a success.
Is there a way to debug, or walk through the steps of the mqtt side of things? The inverter-cli continually has returned data even when it hasn’t seemed to send it via mqtt.
Good morning. I hope not to bother anyone with my question…
I am a rookie of home assistant I am very willing to acquire data voltronic axpert ad home assistant…
since I’m not good bike I asked you for kindness if you can oientarmi to understand… Can I use an old pentium4 3.2 PC with USB port to capture data and send it over the network?
what software do I need to install docker must be installed u windwos or on linux.
thanks
Hi, can you help with crontab code. To work catalin’s fork I should set baud rate raw, without raw in sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 2400 raw doesn’t work. And after every reboot I should set baud rate with raw to work. Can you help me to modify your script to seting baud rate 2400 raw after reboot?
Hi, I got everything setup and working with home assistant, but i want to add influxdb. In HA, I have added the user “solar” to influxdb and made a database named “solar”. In the mqtt.json file, I have it enabled and also filled the info in. When everything is started, nothing shows up in the database. I am also using @catalinbordan 's fork.
This is my mqtt.json file.

I’ve just been debugging this same issue, its because the code is hardcoded to calculate pv power from SCC Voltage which is always being returned as 0.
I modded the code to read it from the QPIGS command instead but haven’t yet been able to make it work since it doesn’t seem to want to use the locally built version on my pi, preferring to use the stock version from github…
Hey so sorry for the super late reply, I’ve been tied down for the last few months. Have you managed to get your issue sorted?
Is there a running list of confirmed inverter models that this is working with? If not, can everyone post their model here? Specifically, I’m wondering if MPP-Solar LV6548 works and/or EG4 6500EX.
Hi Where do i find the file to change these values?
Kind Regards
Quintin
normally inside the inverter.conf file here
/opt/docker-voltronic-homeassistant/config/inverter.conf
Hi guys,
I finnaly set up my homeassiastace with my solar inverterMKS5K MKS5K. To do it i have use old laptop running on Debian witch installed Home Assistant Supervised. to comunicate with inverter i have used mpp-solar soft from mpp-solar. Mpp-solar wos the easyest and the fastest way to download data from inverter via usb to homeassistance.
with this setup i dont have to bother about QPIGS values and ather, and its working.
my mpp-solar config looks like this:

im useing also small script to run to send a request from mpp-solar to inverter i hope it help someone
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/watch -n 1 mpp-solar -C > /dev/null 2>&1 &
exec bash
i hope it help someone
