To use the WiFi stick you need to use the sofar_wifikit.yaml definition file, NOT the lsw3 one. I spent ages going round in circles until I figured that out.
Hi, I have a ZCS Azzurro 3PH HYD 10000 ZSS inverter with Ethernet connector. Using Solerman integration with "sofar_g3hyd.yaml" all detected entities return unknown value and the inverter is not connected. I also tried with other inverter parameters but nothing changed. Does anyone know how to fix the problem?
Does anyone know how to get the Time of Use time to display correctly? Iām using a customised version of the Deye hybrid config and inserted the Time of use section, all the values are coming through except for the actual Time component. This is a sample
- group: Time of Use
items:
- name: "Time of use Time 1"
class: ""
state_class: ""
uom: ""
scale: 1
rule: 9
registers: [0x00FA]
icon: 'mdi:timelapse'
- name: "Time of use Time 2"
class: ""
state_class: ""
uom: ""
scale: 1
rule: 9
registers: [0x00FB]
icon: "mdi:timelapse"
but in HomeAssistant it shows unknown for the value.
Am I missing something?
It actually depends on the type of inverter and how it encapsulates the ātime of useā. On the readme it says that rule: 9 converts the register value as a string, so if [0x00FA] contains 400 then youāll get 04:00 in the Home Assistant sensor. But your inverter must be using that format (and the correct register address of course) to work!
In my inverter (HYD5000) the time of used is composed of 2 addresses [0x042A,0x0429] (as UINT registers) and is stored as minutes. So the value will be:
- name: "Total Service Time"
class: ""
state_class: "measurement"
uom: "min"
rule: 3
registers: [0x042A,0x0429]
icon: 'mdi:timelapse'
Youād better check your inverter registers format to guess the correct inverter definition YAML.
Using the Sofar wifikit, can you tell me what entities show up in HA ? Is the battery SoC one of them ? Can I find somewhere guidelines - like a YT video - showing step by step the integration ?
Hi,
I received 2 solar panels and my inverter DEYE SUN-M100G4
I ve setup solarman , i can see my solar production now in the solar man cloud
I installed the plugin solarman in HA
I registered my inverter:
But i canāt see nothing in HA, Do you know why ?
Thks
Having the same issue, if i upgrade HA OS past 12.1, it breaks the integration.
Tried removing, upgrading OS, restarting and then installing the integration, but keeps going to Unknown and status shows disconnected, if i downgrade OS to 12.1 it works again.
Hi, did you ever find a solution? I have the same ZCS with ethernet connector and I canāt find a way to make it work with Solarman, even with custom parameters.
This was fixed by ha core rebuild.
To fix after update and issue seen in logs:
ha core rebuildrestart all rpi/box- profit

Hi,
iām updating von v1.4.3 to 1.5.1 because for my Deye M100G4 (2 MPPT) the integration had not worked.
With version 1.5.1 this now works, but whenever the inverter is no longer accessible after sunset, āunavailableā is displayed. With version 1.4.7 and my old SUN800G3 this was not the case, it was simply no longer updated and you always saw the last entry the whole time. With my old SUN800G3 I had used the deye_4mppt.yaml, with the new M100G4 I use the deye_2mppt.yaml .
How can I restore the old behaviour under 1.5.1?
It is simply totally impractical when āunavailableā is displayed everywhere in the dashboard and calculations with some Solarman values no longer work.
What I also noticed is why I only have 1x total/daily production with deye_4mppt.yaml while with deye_2mppt.yaml I have 1x total/daily production and 2x total/daily production per MPPT. Do I not have the latest yaml files after the update?
Is this integration still active or should we change to an other integration?
Probably davidrapan/ha-solarman: 
Solarman Stick Logger integration for 
Home Assistant (github.com) ?

Thank you for sharing that branch of the Stephan Joubert integration. I had not been able to get my Sofar ME 3000 SP battery inverter to connect with the original integration. After installing this branch i managed to get it working by using the WIFIKIT setup.
Is there a separate topic support thread for this version of the integration?
You could use the Q&A section in the Discussion Tab at the repoā¦
