@swante just wanted to say thank you for making this integration! I just got my two SBSE 7.7 up and running in home assistant. Its night time here now but hopefully in the morning I can see everything logging correctly.
Thank you!
Next on my list is the Tigo CCA!
My inverter SBSE 5.0 got connected today and the integration worked instantly.
Is there a way to set the âactive power limitâ ? I see there is a service call to get settings and to set parameters but I do not know how this should be used.
should have read the faq: https://github.com/littleyoda/ha-pysmaplus/blob/4f17ec8d8f931457acc8f77b5830a56863455821/docs/faq.md
Hey @swante I want to thank you for your effort to bring the sma integration back up to date. Maybe you can have a look at the open issues for the integration on github Maybe you could incorporate some fixes for some of those? Seems to me that the current maintainers of the integration have lost interest in keeping it maintained.
When do you think you will be ready to open a pr to get this merged in the core?
Maybe you could become a official âintegration ownerâ ?
Do you have a paypal? I want to send you some money for a beer. or maybe enable sponsoring on your github account.
I had expected the questions about integration in HomeAssistant Core to become more frequent. 
Iâm still struggling at the moment.
Reasons 1
Reasons 2
So I am currently investing my (limited) resources in improving my integration.
I would be happy if someone with experience would help me with the integration into HA-Core.
I will be happy to accept donations:

- Is there a possibility that I simply import the devices from the custom_integration or do the users have to create them again?
so what I would do here is. Remove the device and entities from the custom integration. Statistics are not removed when an entity is removed.
Then recreate them in the new integration and because the entity idâs will be the same of the sensors the old statistics will magically be available to the new entities.
- Overall, Iâm not entirely happy with how developers are supported at HA. Iâve already asked several questions on the Discord server and unfortunately often didnât find a person who could answer the question.
I have similar experiences.
Another option is to drop the idea of getting it back into core. There are enough good integrations that just stay custom integrations because of the reasons you mentioned above.
And to promote my second SMA integration:
My new integration make any Home Assistant device available in SMA SunnyPortal via the SEMP protocol.
It can report the power usage (each colour is a different device from HA.)
Switch a Device on and off depending on the PV surplus
The Documentation is currently in german, but a link to translate the page via google translator is on the page.
Waw very nice! Looks good. If I had known I would never bothered making my own solution. 
Unfortunately, it only works for consumers.
Producers cannot be integrated in this way.
Ah so my solution is not totally redundant. 
If you want me to do some testing on de Enneos Portal for this I am happy to help out. I just do not have a home manager so what I can do is limited.
I am wondering if changing the power limit of the inverter a lot (like every 20s) could cause unwanted side effects. Because I have read that you need to be careful with some modbus registers to not change them to much.
Legitimate point.
You should check the parameter before changing a value extremely often.
This is difficult for you, because SMA does not provide a modbus list for the SBSE-series.
For Tripower X you can check it as follows:

Hi,
just tried to install this integration. It seems to work really well - thank you for that! One of the most promising ones I think
However Iâm looking for one specific value for a long time already and I canât figure out a way how to get it: the current power consumption of the house. I have a Tripower 8 and a Home Manager 2.0.
With this integration I connected the SHM 2.0 and the connection works well. But I canât find any value for that. There are 3 âPower Drawâ and âPower Feedâ values, but they donât sum up to the actual value that I see in the sunny portal or the app.
But it should be possible in my opinion - both the SHM and the Tripower show the value. Either in the app or on the web-interface (tripower).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I donât quite understand what devices you have already set up.
If I have understood you correctly, you have added only the SHM.
Without the inverter, you wonât get all the necessary values.
You have to calculate the power consupmtion, as no device return it. You need the production of the inverter (sensor.sma_power in the example) and the feed-in or grid consumption from the SHM2 (pconsume and psupply).
Iâm using a Template Sensor:
- name: "power_total_usage"
state: "{{ (states('sensor.sma_power')|int(0) + states('sensor.pconsume')|int(0) - states('sensor.psupply')|int(0)) }}"
unit_of_measurement: "W"
state_class: measurement
Hi,
right, I think I got it. I thought because the value is visible on both the inverter and the shm, it should be there as a value already. Will try your template. Thanks!
I have integrated both the inverter and the shm.
Hi @swante ,
I tested it. It works during the day - thanks
But when itâs dark and no power is produced by the solar panels, the calculation doesnât work. It shows a very low number like 5 or even low minus values.
Any idea how I can calculate it during day and night?
Thanks,
Viktor
Can you post your template?
Sure thing.
{{ (states('sensor.sunny_tripower_80_pv_power')|int(0) + states('sensor.sunny_home_manager_2_metering_power_absorbed')|int(0) - states('sensor.sunny_home_manager_2_metering_power_supplied')|int(0)) }}
The only thing Iâm not sure about is the absorbed value. It seems to be the consume value but Iâm not sure if itâs the same actually.
The sensor looks good.
I donât understand how a power consumption of 0 can be achieved. You have devices that are running. And the inverter also needs power.
As I have already been asked by several people.
Has anyone found a way to change the battery charge and discharge rate for the SMA Sunny Boy Smart Energy devices? According to the users, there would be no setting for the battery charge and discharge rate available on the parameter list on the web ui. A list with the Modbus addresses has not yet been made public.
[Since I donât have an SBSE device, I canât say much about it and Iâm just passing the question on]
