RETIRED Add-On Fenecon2Mqtt - Connect Fenecon Home (OpenEMS) energy storage systems to Homeassistant

Skeletitor · April 18, 2023, 5:13pm

Retirement announcement for Fenecon2MQTT add-on

When’s the retirement party?

Fenecon2MQTT will officially kick back and sip piña coladas starting June 12, 2025. After that, no more updates or support, folks!

Where to go?

Hop on over to the HA-OpenEMS integration for all your energy management needs. It’s the new kid on the block, and it’s ready to rock your Home Assistant setup.

Got questions?

Check out the HA-OpenEMS docs or swing by the community forums to chat with other smart home nerds.

Thanks for all the love you’ve shown Fenecon2MQTT over the years.

It’s been a wild ride, but it’s time for this add-on to retire and let HA-OpenEMS take the spotlight. Let’s raise a virtual toast to new beginnings!

This is funny … I have a Fenecon Home (Heckert Symphon-E) since yesterday. Perfect timing for this addon Thank you! It’s working fine.

Skeletitor · April 20, 2023, 9:30am

Thank you! I didn’t know that ‘Heckert Symphon-E’ is based on Fenecon Home.

skeal · April 20, 2023, 12:58pm

It is not only based on it, it is also serviced by Fenecon

Also it is delivered from fenecon. Don’t see any differences.

Skeletitor · April 20, 2023, 1:18pm

Oh, there is a problem with the reconnection during a Softwareupdate of FEMS.
You need to restart the add-on manually untiI fix that.

Skeletitor · April 20, 2023, 5:03pm

It would be great if someone updates the addon and do the FEMS update after the addon update. The reconnect should be fixed now.

Skeletitor · August 3, 2023, 9:48am

Sorry guys,

I published an update regarding the generation of entity names comming from mqtt entities. This has to be done to be compliant to an ucomming HA update.
The naming of MQTT entities changes to correspond with HA guidelines | Home Assistant Developer Docs (home-assistant.io)

Entity IDs chande from ‘sensor.fems*’ to ‘sensor.battery_inverter_fems*’

Hello Skeletitor,

i have a Problem with the Add on, can you help me ?

Skeletitor · August 10, 2023, 11:43am

FEMS password is wrong in configuration.

//edit Jep, i’ll take a look for a human readable error message

Adrian01 · August 11, 2023, 8:16am

Hello Skeletitor,

oh… it works fine
Is it possible to add a total energy consumption counter?

ostute01 · August 13, 2023, 7:42pm

Dear all, may I missed something in the docs.
But I try to add another sensor in this case “ess0/GridMode .”
After adding “ess0/GridMode” to the configuration and restarted Fenecon2Mqtt it is appears in MQTT both under homeassistant/sensor/fenecon and fenecon .
But I can’t figure out howto get the sensor in HA ??
Can somebody point me into the right direction ??

Regards, Olaf

Skeletitor · August 14, 2023, 8:17am

@Adrian01 - it was a mistake in entity device class mapping

0.2.11

Modified HA entity state class, entity device class, entity unit of measurement of FEMS entities without given units.
Use FEMS entity name to set HA entity unit to “V” if FEMS entity type is integer. No need to use manual mapping anymore!
Display user readable error message when FEMS password is wrong.

Eisinator · February 29, 2024, 11:03am

Hey all, I’m tottally new to HA and owner of a Fenecon PV System.

Thank you for the add on!

BeNeDeLuX · April 11, 2024, 6:38pm

I have also been using this add-on for months and it works perfectly I came across this blog post about hidden/undocumented Rest API data-> Fenecon Home und das Rest-API – www.romal.de

I added the rest api calls for the temperatures as described in the blog and voila - there is some more data from the FEMS coming in

Skeletitor · April 12, 2024, 4:30pm

You just need to add the identifier in the add-on config and you’ll get those entries without calling the REST-API.

e.g:

→

Skeletitor · April 12, 2024, 4:43pm

These Entries are used from FEMS if you install the add-on the first time:

        "_meta/Version",
        "_sum/State",
        "_sum/EssSoc",
        "_sum/EssActivePower",
        "_sum/State",
        "_sum/EssSoc",
        "_sum/EssActivePower",
        "_sum/EssActivePowerL1",
        "_sum/EssActivePowerL2",
        "_sum/EssActivePowerL3",
        "_sum/EssMaxApparentPower",
        "_sum/GridMode",
        "_sum/GridMinActivePower",
        "_sum/GridMaxActivePower",
        "_sum/GridActivePower",
        "_sum/GridActivePowerL1",
        "_sum/GridActivePowerL2",
        "_sum/GridActivePowerL3",
        "_sum/ProductionActivePower",
        "_sum/ProductionDcActualPower",
        "_sum/ProductionAcActivePower",
        "_sum/ProductionMaxActivePower",
        "_sum/ConsumptionActivePower",
        "_sum/ConsumptionActivePowerL1",
        "_sum/ConsumptionActivePowerL2",
        "_sum/ConsumptionActivePowerL3",
        "_sum/ConsumptionMaxActivePower",
        "ctrlPrepareBatteryExtension0/CtrlIsBlockingEss",
        "ctrlPrepareBatteryExtension0/CtrlIsChargingEss",
        "ctrlPrepareBatteryExtension0/CtrlIsDischargingEss",
        "ctrlPrepareBatteryExtension0/_PropertyIsRunning",
        "charger0/ActualPower",
        "charger1/ActualPower",
        "ess0/Soc",
        "ess0/Capacity",
        "ess0/DcDischargePower",
        "battery0/Tower0PackVoltage",
        "charger0/ActualPower",
        "charger1/ActualPower",
        "_sum/ProductionActiveEnergy",
        "_sum/GridBuyActiveEnergy",
        "_sum/GridSellActiveEnergy",
        "_sum/EssDcDischargeEnergy",
        "_sum/EssDcChargeEnergy"

I can add more if there is something important missing. Just give me a hint…
But I’ll not update the config during an add-on update. I don’t want to overwrite custom configurations!

Skeletitor · April 12, 2024, 4:54pm

I’d add:

  - battery0/Tower0PackVoltage
  - battery0/Soh
  - batteryInverter0/DspFmVersionMaster
  - batteryInverter0/DspFmVersionSlave
  - batteryInverter0/ArmFmVersion
  - batteryInverter0/AirTemperature
  - batteryInverter0/BmsPackTemperature
  - batteryInverter0/RadiatorTemperature
  - battery0/Tower0NoOfCycles

BeNeDeLuX · April 13, 2024, 7:37pm

Wow! This reply was very fast and unexpected
Thanks for that information and your work on that add-on.

Skeletitor · April 14, 2024, 7:29pm

0.2.16

!!!update manually or reinstall the addon!!! added new default entities/channels to be requested in FEMS see → hassio forum.
added value template for state values of inverter and charger0 an charger1. States are human readable now. Thx @benniju
added value template for grid mode. Grid mode is human readable now.
cleaned up docker image files

Hi, super interesting project! I am trying to connect to PRIMUS Energiemonitoring/Manager which runs OpenEMS (Version 2023.1.0), but I am getting the following error message:

Is there a possible way to resolve this with a simple fix?
