Thank you.
Please could you show the next bit - what comes after
entity_id: number.solaredge_i1_storage_discharge_limit
ie what are the variables?
Also some of the entities in my pre-installed YAMLs are of the form d17eca2b9c67371873384b590b0b17f1
rather than number.solaredge_i1_storage_discharge_limit
How are these translated?
That looks more like a device_id than an entity_id
number.solaredge_i1_storage_discharge_limit is an entity_id.
Hereās the complete automation. Bear in mind that Iāve created some input_boolean and some input_number helpers as well as a timer to limit the overall charge period to 4 hours at any single charge window . Iāve also created an option to cope with the daily inverter reset that can happen during a charge window.

i am loving all these integrations so easy to get going
I have an automation working for mine where it tweaks the active power limit based on export cost, current home consumption and battery level
ONe issue i have is on the tesla style power dashboard my sensors for batteryās from the template build are not doing anything
battery_to_house_entity: sensor.solar_battery_to_house_w
grid_to_battery_entity: sensor.solar_grid_to_battery_w
battery_extra_entity: sensor.solaredge_battery1_state_of_charge
the data is all but 0 watts. I.e sensor.solar_battery_to_house_w is 0 now even tho i can see in the solar app its pushing 0.5 kw to my house
Has anybody had their TCP connection suddenly refused? I had all working nicely and now Iām getting an error saying TCP connection refused. Perhaps solar edge disabled it remotely?
Iāve not seen that in 2 years of using this custom component.
Have you set a fixed IP address for your inverter?
Perhaps the IP address has changed?
Thanks. Yes itās fixed on unfi. And hardwired.
So I called solar edge. And it turns out TCP was disabled on the inverter so it was enabled by solar edge and I had the integration working nicely. Not sure what has disabled it but itās working again now after they re-enabled it.
Is there a full list anywhere of the SolarEdge commands done from HA with their syntax, arguments etc?
Hi,
I am new to SolarEdge and I have a few basic questions to things that I canāt explain!
my devices:
SE10K-RWB48BFN4
Firmware: 0004.0021.0023
SolarEdge Home Battery 9.2kWh
Firmware: 48V DCDC 3.4.2
SE-RGMTR-1D-240C-A
Questions:
I would like to modify the battery reserve from 10% to 15%, moved the slider to 15% and confirmed by pressing the ācommit power savingā button. But it seams that nothing changes. The āBackup-Reserveā in the SolarEdge App is still on 10%, the HA-Screenshot shows the correct value. Can someone tell me, what is going wrong? Did I miss anything?
How can I temporarily charge the battery from grid? I am totally unsure how to make the changes in the inverter section. What is needed here?
hello I followed your instructions. I installed solaredge-modbus-multi, which also could find the inverter and the meter however not the batterie. I have a se6000HE with a high voltage batterie from lg. That is the first question how can i fix that?
Further I installed Remko76/hasolarcfg and edited Configuration.yaml accordingly. My dashbord however does not look like yours. Did I forget something?
hello the battery topic has been solved by reading the help
does anyone happen to have this working in node red and willing to export it for me to start with? I am wanting to use all the feautres here to manage my own power: Power Control Options ā Configuration Ā· WillCodeForCats/solaredge-modbus-multi Wiki Ā· GitHub
I have mod bus multi installed and working.
thank you
ok i got very far today with a bit of chatgpt help and will happily share my export when its working
anyone know why i battery controls are greyed out? I have advanced power controls on:
Edit: I didnāt read the docs properly. Itās only enabled in remote those grayed out options.

This is not possible. At least not without a bunch of complicated Automations that make sure, the battery isnāt discharged further until a specific SoC value. I created a āWinter Modeā for my battery, that makes sure it doesnāt get discharged less than 40% SoC when activated (so the battery doesnāt stay at 10% for a long time in winter) - but itās rather complicated and still not perfect.
How can I temporarily charge the battery from grid? I am totally unsure how to make the changes in the inverter section. What is needed here?
This is easy. Just set the āStorage Command Modeā (and if you want to preserve it longer than the set timeout also the āStorage Default Modeā) to āCharge from Solar Power & Gridā. The Storage Control Mode has to be on āRemote Controlā to be able to do that.
Then the battery gets charged with whatever comes from the solar panels PLUS the set charge limit from the grid (Standard is 5000 W). If you do this at night, the power of course solely comes from the grid.
Hope this helps.
Hi @Remko,
I used the solaredge cloud inverter for about 2 years, but since extending with a Battery the reporting interval was to high - so ich switched over to the āoldā modbus integration. But I struggeld a bit to get the solar power right, with pure luck i stumbled upon your (first older) post and tried to understand your calculations - which helped with the whole charting alogā¦ after that problem solved i thought to myself screw it - lets update to the newer modbus integration variant. and i used your github scripts as example, took what i need, modified entity names as needed and voilaā¦ all is running the way it should run.
Thank you for making your config and explanations public.

I have serious problems activating the Modbus/TCP integration for solaredge in HA, all sensor status are unknown. I have a SE5000H inverter with a LG Resu battery and use two RS485 comms which run on device id 2 and 3. If I set the TCP modbus port to 502 and ID to 1 in HA nothing happens. In the solaredge manual it says that the devices are preset with ID=2 and the manual states further that it must be set at 2. IN this forum I read that the ID needs to be set to 1. I did change this in the settings of the inverter and then get an 3x6E comm counter error, so this cannot be the solution. I started with home assistant approx 3 weeks ago and almost every integration causes some problems. Is this normal?
There is no requirement to set the inverter ID to 1.

Hi everyone! Iāve got it up and running. Iām searching for a way to stop my battery from temorarely discharging when Iām plugging in my car without a smart charger.
Can this be done with the Storage Command Modes?
Couple of ways to do it:
I use Option 2.
