Dear Joubert,
I connected an ESP8266 connected to the serial (RS232 cable) of an EASUN 8kW Hybrid Inverter and I read correctly the inverter status parameters.
To setup pipsolar current_max_ac_charging_current I adapted your suggested approach and code (see my code).
Now it happens that only in some cases of selected helper values the current_max_ac_charging_current
is recorded in the inverter, in other cases a very different value is transmitted and since it does not belong to the set of allowed values, it is not recorded. Here is the list:
Helper: 2, 10, 20, 30, 40,50, 60, 70,80, 90,100,110,120 Amps
Registration: 153,218,139,188,185,56,103,152,12,131,100,110,120 Amps
Note that only in the cases of setup higher than 100: 100A, 110A, 120A the values are registered in the inverter.
Can You help me ?
Here is the Logs of unsuccessful & successful registration:
