Hello all,
Apologies if I don’t make much sense here - I am new to Linux, home assistant and yaml files!
I am trying to get my solax inverter data into HA, via the pocket WiFi on the unit and the solax integration. I have connected the WiFi of my hardware directly to the inverter WiFi network (5.8.8.8), and have tested via a curl command to see if I get the correct response, which I do, so I know that provided I point HA at the inverter WiFi, I should get the data the integration needs. The lan connection of my intel nuc which runs HA is connected to my home network, therefore I can only get the data from the WiFi connection.
So, if I put the 5.8.8.8 ip address into the solax integration, I get a discovery error and timeout, which suggests it’s trying to connect via the lan (noting that I do also have the solax connected to the lan, for feeding data to the solax cloud). Is there a way to tell the integration to use the wlan connection rather than the lan connection? Is there a prefix I could use which will force it to use the WiFi connection?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
