⚡ Solarman Stick Logger by David Rapan

[disconnected]

Thanks for your answer.
I’ve read the thread and tried all that was mentioned.
Changing to transparency mode changes back to data collection after a reboot of the stick.
In the config_hide-menu the port ist set to 8899. I’ve tried tcp and Modbus tcp and so on. Also I tried to fill in the HA-Server-IP in the advanced-page of the logger-webinterface.
(I can not try Up-/Downgrading the Logger-Firmware, because I don’t have the files. You also mention the 1.22 should work)
It is still not working.

So I guess my setup ist one of those, that won’t work and I need to look for a RS485-interface.

Here ist the Log from my actual last try. If I am reading it correctly, HA is establishing a connection, but does not get back any information?

The final solution is to do the downgrade (the rest were just experiments)…

• Some users got it to work using that downgrade-upgrade loop
• Others had to stick with the downgraded version

[TSA-lab]

Thanks for your great work. May I ask why the serial number is not there anymore?
Why was it used before?

[TSA-lab]

On your git repo for the great Solarman Stick Logger Integration there is written:

"Built on asynchronous [pysolarmanv5] and supports Modbus TCP ([ESP] [Waveshare], [Ethernet logger] LSE-3, etc.) "

So I assume it should work with Elfin EE11a and EW11a also?

Ethernet

It works with the Sunsynk HA Integration.

The config of the Elfin uses port 502 so I tried your integration with port 502 instead of 8899. “failed to connect”.
As far as I unterstood the solaman stick uses a non standard protocoll which is implemented by pysolarmanv5. Waveshare, ESP32 and ELFIN EE11a / EW11a using standard protokoll. So the question is: How to use standard Modbus to tcp protokoll with your integration?
I want to change to your Integration, because there are much more entities reported for Deye 3P inverters and I miss a lot of modbus-registers in the kellerza/sunsynk integration, like inverter-temp., battery-temp., Micro-Inverter switch for inverter-generator-imput…
Any hints how to use your integration with an Elfin EE11a or EW11a as it is a quiet simple Modbus to TCP device. Would be happy for any advice.

Thank you

Updated due to more insights

[TSA-lab]

I found this on your github repo, went one step further, struggled again and described the current issue there:

Modbus RTU over TCP · davidrapan/ha-solarman · Discussion #575

Perhaps a documentation for usb modbus-rtu sticks, waveshare, esp32 and elfin EE11a / EW11a would be helpful? I could provide the Elfin doc when my szenario is up and running.

[davidrapan (David Rapaň)]

Hi @TSA-lab, it’s just a feature added for convenience, but we may add some docs in the future, and sure if you’d like you can contribute too. That being said, there is a lot of information about this from other Modbus integrations. It’s just one google search away.

[jigsaw]

I got this working now. Just posting for future reference. I read a thread to upgrade 1.53 then downgrade back to 1.22. It’s strange but it did just that and it did fix the problem.

[gedger]

Does anyone know of any firmware updates for the Solis EN2-8M wifi data logger? Currently running MW3_15_0501_1.18 which has worked fine for 4 years but since I updated my home router to the WiFi AX standard the logger keeps losing wifi connection and then will not reconnect unless it is powered off / on. Router manufacturer (Fritz) suggested that logger needs a firmware update but Solis has said it’s obsolete and will not provide access to a later firmware. Have turned the AX mode off on the router which has helped but not eliminated the issue.

[Gav_in]

I’ve a different logger but ran into a very similar issue after a router upgrade…in the end I put in a 2.4GHz extender (with different wifi name) and inverter rock sold since then

[gedger]

Thanks, after hunting though the cupboards I eventually found an old TP-Link MR3020 and I’ve set this into AP mode with a unique SSID and have now connected the inverter via that, fingers crossed it’s more reliable.

Whilst looking around at the numerous Solis data loggers I notice that the current one appears to be the S5-WiFi-ST which has 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wifi at £20. Has anyone evaluated it yet to see if there is anyway of getting a local interface?

[jigsaw]

I’ve created the below automation to enable the TOU Rule 0 which I think aligns with the registry definition.

  - action: solarman.write_multiple_registers
    data:
      device: 905228336e90c08a75f802196c9d9257

I’m getting the below error though

2026-04-26 23:51:05.298 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation.tou_rule] TOU Rule: Error executing script. Error for call_service at pos 1: The value contained in the request data field is not an allowable value

Any advise on what I’m not doing correctly?

[maksym-ivchenko]

I want to express my sincere gratitude for your work! I have a Deye SUN-6K-SG05LP1-EU-AM2 inverter and a Deye SE-F5 Pro-C battery, and the HA connection was quick and easy.
I have a question: can the following sensors be added to the default configuration?

10042	Temperate-AVE
10043	Temperate-CellMax
10044	Temperate-CellMin
10045	Temperate-MosMax
10048	SOH
10054	Max Cell V
10055	Min Cell V
10056	Cycle number

I checked the registers using the solarman.read_holding_registers action and compared the values ​​with those specified in the Deye Cloud app. Everything looks correct.

Awesome work @davidrapan . Data is everything. Data is King. I can now get data from my Sofar 3000TL string inverter. I had resorted to using a spare MyEnergi CT clamp, but that was only giving me generation and nothing else. Thank you

Hi @jigsaw, I'm facing similar problems, Sofar support remotely upgraded my hardware. I have 1.22 and my intergration (operational for 2 years) stopped working. I cannot permanently switch to "transparent" mode. Where did you find this thread about upgrade to 1.53 and downgrade back to 1.22? (hopefully with .bin files)

Hi @davidrapan, I hope you can assist me, I have had some problems setting up my Deye SUN-6K-SG04LP1-EU-SME 6kw hybrid inverter. I have tried going the modbus route, solarman direct integration and now your custom Solarman Integration. I keep getting errors. I even tried a beta version to see if that might accept my inverter but to no avail. The last error I have been getting is: " Failed setup, will retry: Error setuping Deye Inverter: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'parser' "
I would appreciate any assistance.

Hi,
I have been using ‘Solarman integration by Stephan Joubert’ for several years now but I am interested in upgrading to ‘Solarman Stick Logger by David Rapan’. The Solarman integration by Stephan Joubert needs a separate installations in order to control the inverter, is this the same for Solarman Stick Logger by David Rapan?

Hi…welcome to the forum…have fun!

There is a whole lot on switching Integrations (and keeping your history) in the GitHub repository so suggest having a look/read there before doing anything…lots of steps to follow but is straight forward enough as long as you do everything
(and take a backup of HA first too)

This might be a good starting point for you > How to keep history data from previous solarman? · davidrapan/ha-solarman · Discussion #127 · GitHub
