Hi ans-gw,
Did you have time to check my last changes in my fork regarding updated protocol for new firmware?
…now …i still not try…Im reinstalling Ha to sd card with new clean installation.
and also inverter is off i m busy with rebalancing my 16S 200A battery pack after 14 months use.
take long time with 5A charger!..i know my Bms no so good 
ill try into 2-3 days…
Hi guys i have a orange pi pc+ and Voltronic VMII 3KW anyone has list commands i can run in linux to install this ?
Hello Naeem,
I did previously have this running on an OrangePi Zero.
The processes will be much the same, you just need to install a decent Linux build for your board.
Hi All.
Thanks for all the great work.
I got an inverter branded Tech Geeks but it must be te same as the Axpert and Mecer. Looks the same. Its a 3kva 24V system. I tried everything but looks like i need the buffer sizes for this inverter. I used minicom for capture the data from the inverter. See snippet below. I do get communication over port

When running executing the voltronic-mqtt docker inverter_puller i get the below.
I got two Pi’s each with docker. My mqtt is not on the same Pi at the voltronic_mqtt but it looks like I do get a connection on my mqtt broker. see snippet below. Not sure if there should be more info in the logs.

The 172.18.0.1 is the docker image IP of my voltronic_mqtt
Could anyone point me in any direction. I tried so much before I ask here. I do run the voltronic_mqtt on a Pi2 B+
Hi,
You could try my fork. I tried to combine all the changes from everybody(credit for them). In this it not anymore necessary the buffer size to be specified.
@ans-gw already tried and seems ok.
Hello,
I have managed to get all things working on a raspberry pi zero 2, except the part where I should get the data from the inverter (EASUN IGrid SV II 5KW). First I tried the OG version of the project, but the results gave me errors on QPIRI, QPIWS etc., like “read timeout”, “reply too short”. (I tried to change those values from 98 all the way up to 104 for QPIRI, including QPIWS to 40 and nothing has changed).
Then I found the fork from @catalinbordan , but I still can’t get the data in HA, neither in Grafana.
When i try to run sudo docker exec -it voltronic-mqtt bash -c '/opt/inverter-cli/bin/inverter_poller -d -1'
I get a slightly different better output, that looks like is sending something (attached a photo below, sorry for the bad quality)
Also the container looks “unhealty” in Portainer and the log is filled with errors for mqtt-push and mqtt-subscriber with an output of Permision Denied, although I have an working tested MQTT server in HA and the credentials in mqtt.json are correct.
Has anyone managed to make it work on this kind of inverter or has an ideea on what is wrong on my instance of the project?
I didn’t cloned the project directly from git in the “/opt/ha-inverter-mqtt-agent” directory and I copied it through FTP in “home/pi/docker/solarinverter”, could that be a problem ?
PS. The connection from inverter to the pi is made using an USB to USB port (inevitably an OTG USB to micro usb cable on the pi side).
Thank you!
I successfully set my Powmr inverter.
qpiri=98
qpiws=40
qmod=5
qpigs=110
I read data and I can send PCP and POP commands.
Unfortunately, PBDV and PBCV commands don’t work. The inverter has no reply (for PBDV replies “NAK” with PBDV0 or PBDV27 and nothing for other values).
There are alternative commands or maybe these commands are blocked in some way?
Any suggestions?
Hi,
the result with my fork it should be like this:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo docker exec -it voltronic-mqtt bash -c ‘/opt/inverter-cl i/bin/inverter_poller -d -1’

If you don’t have like this, you have a problem with usb connection or docker problem.
try to follow exactly the folder name and destination. In the prerequisites it says that you need Docker and Docker-compose installed. Install them with sudo in front (admin commands). Read the all thread for info about your small board. For me also it helps to restart de raspberry pi to be able to connect to inverter.
It is a limitation coming from usb connection which will not transmit more then 5 characters at ones.
@nrm21 made a trick to send them in batch of 5 characters.
I applied this changes in my fork and I can confirm it work like a charm.
thank you.
Do you mean skymax of nrm21?
if not, do you have a link for it?
yes, I think so.
Hello,
After some hours of working well, the data simply stopped from being send from the inverter.
What could cause this issue?
Inverter: Voltronic Axpert MKS IV 5.6kW
Configuration:
- device=/dev/hidraw0
- run_interval=120
- qpiri=103
- qpiws=40
- qmod=5
- qpigs=110
Thanks,
AMagro
I changed the qpiws to 56 as someone suggested for my inversor, but after a while I lost data again.
Hi,
You probably have problem with connection between invertor and you pi
Are you using serial to usb convertor?
The container it is healthy?
Hello @catalinbordan,
Thanks for your reply.
I’m using the micro-usb direct connection from the inverter to the RPi.
Actually the container is not healthy:
So what could cause this “unhealthy” issue?
Tks
I don’t know what to say. try to update linux, docker, docker compose, search relevant info over internet.
Yes, I will try to install all again, now with the RPi OS Lite version.
Tks
Hello,
I have rpi4 with raspian os 32bit with installed docker, docker-compose, home assistant and mqtt. I can connect to my rpi mqtt from home assistant. To here all is ok. But when try to do configuration & standing github part after connect inverter and run docker-compose up -d nothing show on home assistant. If someone have same problem or can help I will be very thankful!
My inverter is EASUN 5.5kw Hybrid Inverter MPPT 48V
