Thanks. How did you convince them to update your firmware? I’ve asked my installer but I don’t know whether they’ll be willing to do it.
Let us know how you get on, I’ve not seen any zeros on house consumption since and am keen to make this family proof without them questioning the accuracy!
I haven’t yet 
I have a ticket open with SolarEdge directly asking for it to be done. They haven’t said they won’t do it so I’m hopeful. They’re inundated with tickets though and it has to be escalated to a senior engineer. I’ll chase them tomorrow if I don’t hear anything today.
That looks interesting. I’d love to get panel-level data into HA. I tried it but had an “Invalid authentication” error. I wonder whether that’s because I have a regular genesis SE8250H and not the Energy Hub version (or the Genesis Enhancement Pack) which adds the panel level monitoring)?
No replies - is there a trick (or hardware) I need to get the M1 data showing up? Without that info, none of the great graphs in this post are working. Thanks.
Seems I did the same thing and am in the same boat. M1 data doesn’t appear. Not clear what the solution is. Ethernet should be all we need. Some portion of this is obviously working because we get a bunch of other values over it just not the M1.
I do not know the physical layout but did you try m2 or m3. No idea if thats something the installer could have done, just thinking out loud.
Hi everybody,
I do have a question. It’s not directly for the Homeassistent communication but here are the experts 
I checked my consumption from grid accord to solaredge and from my local energy meter. Solaredge says 25 kWh and my energy meter (evu) 45 kWh over 2
1/2 month .
Is this difference normal or do I have to check the measurement?
Thank you for your help.
Does anyone know a way to get remote control of the battery for a setapp Solaredge inverter? Reading through forums and manuals for hours and the only options I can see are MSC (Self Consumption) and ToU (time of use).
I would love to be able to control the battery through HA to charge from the grid overnight on cheap rates but only somedays where PV production wont fill the battery.
Running a SE4000H inverter, SE Energy Bank 10kW, SE optimizers and Trina panels if that makes any difference.
Yeah, I’ve tried 1,2,3 with nothing showing for the latter.
I have setapp access so I can mess with things if I need to.
All I see are two RS485 connections set to SolarEdge forwarder and then the enabling of ModBus over TCP/IP which is enabled.
I guess the issue is related to where M1 comes from.
I didn’t think something else was required other than “ModBus over TCP” ?
Does anybody knows if the Solaredge inverter (SE6000h or another one) could work witout optimizers?
I m thinking to install PV, but my installer propose me a Solaredge Inverter wihtout Optimizers (no SMA, Fronius, Huawei inverter available).
Hey @Remko,
had some time to redo my calculations. The »strange look« is just due to some extra configurations like
hide_inactive_lines: 1
show_gap: true
explained in the repository of the Tesla style solar power card : GitHub - reptilex/tesla-style-solar-power-card: Home assistant power card mimicking the one tesla provides for the powerwall app.
I also changed the icons and so on.
UPDATE:
So here is my new energy.yaml for the 2 inverter situation. I work with local variables to have a better understanding of the calculations, wich appear much cleaner this was:

SolarEdge kindly remotely updated the firmware on my inverter and modbus is now working over wifi.
I’m the author of solaredge-modbus-multi so if you’re having problems with it that are something I can improve on, please let me know.

Thanks. We already had some contact where your fixed an issue with the additional meter showing up. I now have it all running for a while without any issues. Just still need to post there new configs for that. Still got some minor modifications to implement, but no issues so far!

Oh yes, the changing meter ID thing. I remember now, didn’t make the connection right away.
This is working for me and actually I don’t need much more (no batteries here).
When overlaying the realtime data from modbus-tcp against the cloud data they match nicely (but 15 minutes delayed).
I also submitted a PR to fix an issue where people might have inactive optimizers.
My inverter is a SE3000H-RWXXXBNN4
