Tigo Energy - Solar Panel Optimization

[reptar]

I pushed a good amount of changes that clean up the results from the script.

I’m curious if anyone has gotten any nice dashboards configured to show the Tigo data. I’m trying to imagine how I could recreate the Tigo System View page.

Following up to myself here, I’ll offer up how I recreated the System View, for anyone who has access to their Tigo data.

I use the Picture Elements card to show an outline of the rooftop. Then I use an Element of type Image to show each panel. I then use card-mod and style-sheets to set the background based on the current power for each panel.

Here’s the code, for anyone interested:

taptap works like a charm. I wanted to get the data into Prometheus so I can visualise it in Grafana. I asked ChatGPT to do it for me as I’m not a dev. Feel free to give it a try…

Just published my addon

Tigo optimizer local monitoring - without cloud now possible!

Hello, base on the taptap project which reverse engineered protocol between Tigo TAP and CCA components I was able to create mqtt bridge and package it as a Home Assistant addon TapTap. So now we can detailed information from the Tigo photovoltaic optimizer modules locally - without Tigo cloud and with refresh time of 10s. Implementation requires: Modbus RS485 to Ethernet convertor (like for example WaveShare models MQTT broker (like mosquitto addon) MQTT integration As Addon uses H…

Nice! Thanks

New integration allow data collection local network without fee or any additional HW:

[Custom Integration] Tigo Optimizers – Cloud & Local Support

Hello everyone! @@@ TIGOSOLAR @@@ I’ve developed two custom Home Assistant integrations for those using Tigo optimizers, without the need for taptap or RS485. Both integrations follow the same structure: Each panel has 4 dedicated sensors: Power (W) Voltage In (V) Current In (A) Signal Strength (RSSI) Tigo Cloud Integration Uses the official Tigo API (requires a €20/year subscription). Pros: Works remotely — even outside …

[ThunderingPaws]

Thank you sharing this it was super helpful.

I’ve started using the Tigo integration from this post: Tigo Energy - Solar Panel Optimization - #47 by Koky and then used your template to make it work for me.

I switched to using a photo of actual panels with a label for power.

For the solar panel I found an photo online of my actual panel and then coloured it bright green solar-green-v.jpg (235x403) then created a horizonal version solar-green-h.jpg (403x235). I then uploaded it to config/www (/local) in homeassistant.

Adjusting the width, top and left is a real pain in the arse. Be very careful with the card_mod configuration as I found it very easy to break, you also have to install the card_mod integration.

Hopefully this helps the next person.
