I’m searching for hours to find a way sending values (in my case current) to RD device but could not find anything.
I’ve successfully flashed the RD 6012 and WiFi module and I’m able to adjust manually the output current but I like to change it automatically with Node Red.
Did you succeed sending values to the RD device?
Yes, setting the current automated works, I do this all the time using HA automations.
I’m not sure I understand your problem.
- Did you flash my ESPHome config to your WiFi module?
- Can you access it via HA? Then you should be able to set current, and create an automation that ties it together with Node Red.
- If you don’t want to use HA, there are ways
That’s great to hear! I’m glad you made something useful with it.
An alternative solution I found, as someone with an RD6030 that doesn’t support the required firmware to make ESPHome work without extensive modification: GitHub - pgreenland/RidenRD60xxMQTT: MQTT based remote control of the RuiDeng Riden RD60xx family of bench top power supplies. Provided the unit is fitted with Riden's optional Wi-Fi adapter. Without modifying the power supply or Wi-Fi module firmware. - described in a blog post here: Riden RD60xx MQTT Remote Control Guide
I may turn this bridge into an Addon to make install easier for myself, but working great running as a script when I need it right now.
I have the same project in mind: using it as a zero-export system and charging my battery with the excess solar energy. Did you manage to get it working? How well does it work? Do you use the green port or the red one to charge the batteries? My battery has a built-in BMS.
