Hi,
I get it managed that I could connect via Modbus to my Solarmax 13SMT inverter. My biggest issue for now is to find the right Modbus addresses for the inverter. Every help is welcome. I’m not sure if all values are right. THX in advance.

modbus:

I added and updated some modbus addresses.

With the modbus data type fix from 2024.02.

So I had to adjust the following values to get it work again:

    sensors:
      - name: solarmax_current_power
        unique_id: 6a0a5b90-4ae8-4a33-8de9-0b5c59a6b8d1

        address: 4151
        input_type: holding
        unit_of_measurement: W
        data_type: uint32
        scale: 0.1
        device_class: power
        state_class: measurement

Hi @Dbuckley1712,

thank you so much for this. Thanks to your instructions, I was able to set this up in a couple of hours. Really super useful!
