UPDATE: @ryanm101 did some great cleanup work on my original package and has added a lot of nice automations to control battery charging. He has uploaded it to github for better management of the code. The repository can be found here: GitHub - ryanm101/hasolarcfg: Solar Package for Home assistant using Solaredge Modbus multi integration
I will fork his work to match my current configuration as well and will maintain future updates there.
UPDATE 2: I have created a fork here: GitHub - Remko76/hasolarcfg: Solar Package for Home assistant using Solaredge Modbus multi integration without battery automations
In this I have now my latest code, based on @ryanm101 organisation. I will delete the code from the second post, any further changes will be on Github.
I have posted my previous configuration for the SolarEdge Modbus in the past here:
I got a lot of positive feedback and a lot of nice responses so I decided to post my updated configuration here. Why did I change? Wellā¦the Modbus Integration was not being maintained (it is now) and I got a warning that it might not work in the future, so I started looking for alternatives and with the tip from @s_ash found the ModbusMultiInverter integration from here:
This is a fork from the original integration but better maintained and also works for Multi inverter setups. So I modified my configuration to be based on this integration and cleaned up formulas using tips from @b80k and @Ashpork ā¦Thanks for your inputs!!
NOTE: my configuration uses one inveter and one battery. With some small modficiations, this is simply adjustable to a multi inverter setup or a setup without battery. Some in the other thread already did this, so I suggest to look at that for information.
Soā¦how does it look now? Well this is my Energy Dashboard:
