Hello everyone,
is it possible to gather data from more than one inverter? i have two inverters, how can i collect data from both?
Hi all,
Is it possible to get the current battery charge? I can see the data is definitely available in the API, but I’m not sure if the data is available in HA.
Thanks!
Hi Gido,
do you know if its possible to add 2 SE sites to HA? I have 2 SE inverters and each belongs to different site. I’ve not been able to figure how to add it to my HA.
Hi @ozarn, interesting, never really thought of that. I had a look but keep getting a duplicate key 'api_key'. Maybe with different packages in the HA configuration?
Thats what i got as well before posted, duplicate key. Please forgive me, i am a HA newbie. I am not sure what do you mean by different packages .
That’s fine 
, I was referring to the packages configuration. Just tried it with my own setup (by adding a duplicate) but doesn’t seem to be working. I did find a similar topic with multiple Tradfri gateways. They have similar issues though - sorry I can’t help you any further.
Thank you for letting me know and trying. I’ll check out Tradfri thread .
I had the SolerEdge working file till few versions back (can’t remember which). I have updated the configuration.yaml to the new API and I get no error s in the LOG and no sensors at all.
I might call SolarEdge as one of the posts suggested this might help as I see no firmware update capability nor re-boot in the web monitoring of my system.
Does anyine know what happened to the Storage_ChargeLevel value. This gave the Current Charge State of the Battery/s and seems to have been left out of the HASSIO interface implementation. It is availabale by Solaredge API but either I find this or I need to change all the code back to the API.
Is there someone who can help me? I’ve got a solaredge, but i can’t get it to work in HA. I’ve tested the api and i’m getting this result:
{“overview”:{“lastUpdateTime”:“2020-03-27 12:06:27”,“lifeTimeData”:{“energy”:1.1697751E7,“revenue”:70.5133},“lastYearData”:{“energy”:341303.44},“lastMonthData”:{“energy”:222582.78},“lastDayData”:{“energy”:7376.6562},“currentPower”:{“power”:2307.0},“measuredBy”:“INVERTER”}}
So that’s working, but when i want to setup the integration in HA, it doesn’t save the settings.
I’m running HASSIO version 107.5
I hope that there’s someone here with some pointers.
Hi @gerthjan, I’ve also installed solaredge panels and there’s a much better way to get that integrated than the original API. It’s using the Solaredge Modbus TCP integration. Take a look here:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/custom-component-solaredge-modbus-tcp/165625
You’ll be able to get in real time (without delay) and locally your data from your inverter and (if that’s the case, from your meter). Take a look at some of the data you can display:
what type inverter do you have? i’ve added Modbus it to my HA, but it’s nog working. It’s not reading any information. i’ve added everything to my configuration.yaml.
Did you make any ajustments to you inverter?

Hi again @gerthjan , mine is SE4000H, quite a small one, but as I understand all current Solaredge inverters support modbus. I did have to enable Modbus via the inverter ‘SetApp’ application, using my mobile, as it was disabled by default in my inverter. I had problems to be able to use the app as I didn’t have access to it, so I had to contact my installer to be allowed to use it (username and password).
@jolaca @gerthjan SolarEdge has recently released the mySolarEdge app. Using this app, also consumers can edit the settings of a HDWave inverter. Previously, only installers could do this using the SetApp.

Am I right in saying that the solaredge_storage_chergelevel has been removed.?
Thanks for letting us know! I’ll give it a try. I finally get the needed permissions to use SetApp, but I will try the new customer oriented option you pointed.
@gerthjan, did you finally manage to have modbus working on HA??
Hi guys…
is there any chance to add battery level as a sensor… so it pulls the battery charge status… i think the API call is
o stateOfCharge – number (percentage) – the battery state of
charge as percentage of the available capacity. Values are in
the range of 0 to 100.
or
chargeLevel - The accumulated state of energy (% of charge)
for all batteries

Can someone give me some advice how I can integrate this nice picture into lovelace.
I know how to get the datapoints, but am flabbergasted how to present it into such a nice way
Cheers

One solution (the one I use) is
Use custom card.
Available through HACS… its called power wheel card
Hi All,
I’ve been following this thread for some time and one question no one seems to have answered is “would it be possible to recreate the arrows based on what the solar is doing at any moment in time”. I’m keen on trying to figure this out so others would be able to add this to there setups but I need a little assistance with the coding
From the SolarEdge API “https://monitoringapi.solaredge.com/site/0000/currentPowerFlow.json?api_key=0000?0000” this will display the below results and it’s the “connections” data that I’m interested in.
This can display any of the following output
- PV to Load
- Grid to Load
- Load to Grid
- PV to Battery
- Battery to Load
- Battery to Grid
- Grid to Battery
I’m looking to only implement the top three as I don’t have a battery yet. I thought I could break this up with a clever binary_sensor using a template
binary_sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
grid_2_load:
value_template: >-
{{ is_state("sensor.solar_engery_flow", "[{"from":"GRID","to":"LOAD"}]") }}
icon_template: >-
{% if is_state("binary_sensor.grid_2_load", "on") %}
/local/arrow-red-left.png
{% else %}
/local/arrow-red-right.png
{% endif %}
but this didn’t work so I thought I could use a normal sensor template
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
solar_export_state:
friendly_name: 'Solar Export'
value_template: "{{ 'Closed' if is_state('sensor.solar_engery_flow', '[{"from":"GRID","to":"LOAD"}]' ) else 'Open' }}"
entity_picture_template: "{%- if is_state("sensor.solar_engery_flow", '[{"from":"GRID","to":"LOAD"}]' ) %}/local/arrow-red-left.png{% else %}/local/arrow-green-left.png{%- endif %}"
But still no good. Am I asking too much of this sensor or am I going about this the wrong way?
I’m hoping to create something like this
Let me know your thoughts?
Thanks, Nick
