SMA Solar WebConnect

Thanks for sharing mamra.

But i’ve tried to connect via the modbus, i can’t reach my device.
Error:

Connection to (192.168.1.175, 502) failed: timed out

code from configuration.yaml:

modbus:

  • type: tcp
    host: 192.168.1.175
    port: 502

I’m sure that the right IP from my SMA STP 6000TL, because i can read it from my local Sunny Explored connected trough speedwire.

Any idea’s?

Found it…

In the Sunny portal i had to turn on tcp server.

Hello MatijnB,

We bought an second hand inverter with an Webconnect unit. I cant connect by http and my modbus isn’t working to. Can you explain me where you turned on the tcp server?

log into the inverter as an installer, and change the settings under device parameters

I can’t login to an HTTP web interface,
but if i look in the Sunny Explorer there isn’t an option to turn it on. The only option i am seeing is Webconnect : on/off

I am using the SB 3000TLST-21 408 in combination with an SWDM-10 connected to my router.

I have also a WebConnect with only the “SMA Portal”. I don’t have the right to enable Mobius so I looked on how to extract the data directly from SMA Portal as my feed to there is working fine.

I have this under test right now. This is a python script to be executed under “AppDaemon” integration.
Don’t forget to replace xxxxxx & yyyyyy with your credential.

Probably still some debugging needed (I don’t know yet how long I can keep active my session, I try a check every 5 min and a logon once per hour.

i know it’s been a while since you posted your config. but i implemented it today, and it is working fine for all values, exept for PV Daly Yield

name: PV Daily Yield
unit_of_measurement: kWh
slave: 3
register: 30517
scale: 0.001
precision: 3
count: 4
data_type: uint

image
the PV total production is totaly correct, but the daily yield should be around 0.361kWh but is showing something completely different. could it be a wrong register? is there a way to find our the correct register?

i’m completely new at modbus. but you code works fine, except for that value

i anyone could help me out… thanks.

What model of inverter do you have? Download from sma site >support >downloads under your inverter range the excel file of modbus… Check there what register is the daily yield
Also check the total production register. It seems low

Andreas, thank you for your reaction. the total production is oké, the solar panels have been installed a few days ago, so that explains the low value…

i have a Sunny Boy 3.0, SB3.0-1AV-41 575.
i found the list you mean, in html format. https://files.sma.de/downloads/MODBUS-HTML_SBxx-1AV-41-V11.zip

my current register in my config file is:

    - name: PV Daily Yield
      unit_of_measurement: kWh
      slave: 3
      register: 30517
      scale: 0.001
      precision: 3
      count: 4
      data_type: uint

so the register number seems correct.

do i have to change other register values, if i would like to try register 30537.
do i have to do anything with “Number of contiguous SMA registers” = 2 and “Data type SMA” = U32

do i have to change something to “data_type: uint”

Sma registers == count so you have to Change to 2.

thanks but doesn"t seem to work, i’ll have te look into it a bit more.
when i try count 2, i have this:

    - name: PV Dagelijkse opbrengs
      unit_of_measurement: kWh
      slave: 3
      register: 30535
      count: 2
      scale: 0.01
      precision: 2
      data_type: uint

but i just keep getting -0,001kw

Weird…

your settings seem correct:
u16 ( count 1) or 32 ( count 2) or 64 (count 4) are for unsigned words
FIX0 is decimal number with no decimal space
data type is uint (unsigned integer)

try again register 30517:

    - name: PV Daily Yield
      unit_of_measurement: kWh
      slave: 3
      register: 30517
      scale: 0.001
      precision: 3
      count: 4
      data_type: uint

if that doesn’t work try sunspec registers at slave:126

thanks for all your help, but still no luck.
ik keep getting a static value when i try 30517
image

i checked the HTML list of the modbus specs for my SMA, and in the sunspecs register there is no daily yield. (see html on my wetransfer upload: WeTransfer - Send Large Files & Share Photos Online - Up to 2GB Free).

so i think for now i’ll have to live with it :slight_smile:
but realy thank you for your effort and help.

Thank you. This was very helpful for me because the SMA Solar component doesn´t seems to work for me.

Everything looked fine until after sunset when some of the values i supposed to be 0. At that time Home Assisitant shows the value -2147483648 or 42949672.95. Any ideas how to fix this? I´ve understand that this isn´t just a random numbers. I have copied your sensor config.

It’s normal because the inverter cpu is not working.You can only use template sensor in HA and filter the results

Ok, I don´t really understand how to use the template to filter my results. I did try just to copy/paste your template without really understanding what it´s supposed to do. Should your template filter this?

Yes you have to use the new template sensors on lovelace eg. sensor.modbus_sma_pv_power instead of the sensor.sma_power_ac…

Alternative option is to use https://github.com/SBFspot/SBFspot

@Tom_Rubbens did you ever solve the problem with the really long number for the daily output kWh reading? im having the same issue

No, still not solved. If you ever find a solution let let know😉
