Some energy sensors without data return about homeassistant-solax-modbus

[AviadorLP]

No, still waiting for wills106.
If this was a package i probably could change the code but i do not understand the coding behind the integrations yet, too confusing for me and since the group read version it became more difficult for me to understand!!!

[emanuelsilvapt]

I was trying to figure out a possible "issue" but...

The only thing I found was on const.py file, line 290 "entity_registry_enabled_default=False"

But already chenged it to True with no effect...

Thanks

House Load showing zero when charging from the grid has been fixed in 0.3.4
It should also fix House Load being zero when you batteries are flat.

sensor.solax_total_solar_energy

On my system it's the other way round, the inverter / the cloud shows more than when I connect to the Inverter via Modbus.

I think I have sort of answered on HA forum about consumed_energy_total , a number of sensors don't fully make sense and that's why I have them disabled as default.

I need to relook at some of them to see if I can get them to produce figures that make sense.

[AviadorLP]

Thank you wills106 House Load now working well for me.

[wills106]

I would say it's inherited behaviour from normal non hybrid inverters.

On a non Hybrid inverter they are powered from the PV. So when the PV Voltages drop below X the inverters shut down as they are only powered by PV and don't pull from the grid.
So I would say the Hybrids are mimicking that behaviour partly shutting down, as it doesn't make sense to pull power from the grid for unneeded functionality.

Mine is set to 6000w and the sensor shows 600.0w

A Gen2 X3 is doing the same thing, need to understand what's different about your model Inverter to other Gen3 X1's

It's pretty much a static value, they only reason you would change the export limit is if you Electric distribution company put restrictions on what you can export. Or you could only supply a 16Amp feed to / from your Inverter.

[wills106]

What version Inverter are you using? Gen 2 or Gen 3?

If you are using an older Gen 2 Model, it's missing a number of Values and Sensors that are present on the newer Gen 3

Hi wills106 first of all thanks for the integration and all your packages learn't a lot from them.
I now understand a little about python thanks to your coding and spent a real lot of hours making also a daikin energy reader from the daikin a/c's wifi modules and now i can have energy readings of all my ac's in ha. So really thanks !!!!
Still dont understand how to make an integration though. Too evolved for me. But packages i can do now!
Anyway just to tell you i have also a SolaX Gen 3 with battery and eps. and i have some strange results on some sensors also. Like the Solax House Load during the night always at 0. But those sensors xavi104 is complaining are working fine for me. even use them on the energy panel.

[AviadorLP]

Also the Consumed Energy Total always at 0.
And there is a difference in values from your sensor.solax_total_solar_energy that shows in my house as 314.5 kWh and when i connect directly to the inverter i read the value 308.3 kWh, should it not be exactly the same ? How can it be more ?

[emanuelsilvapt]

Just noticed this; did you find out how to solve it?

[AviadorLP]

Do you have the Solax House Load during the night always at 0 ?
Probably after de inverter goes to idle ???

[emanuelsilvapt]

Yes, but I made a new sensor with:

value_template: "{{ states('sensor.solax_grid_import') | int - states('sensor.solax_grid_export') | int }}"

[AviadorLP]

Yes that should work. I really don't use the solaX sensors for this i have a shelly EM with 2 channels first gets grid import and export and second checks house load. But i use the solaX sensors to crosscheck with shelly for discrepancies, to see if they are about the same :) Thanks.
I did not know about wills106 integration at the time, otherwise i would not have bought the shelly EM, and saved some money. :( But i love the shelly plugs and most of the shelly product they are really awesome.

[emanuelsilvapt]

Yes, me too, i've 3 shelly EM's too but I think the Eastron meter is a lot more precise... I installed it in may I think, and everything ws working nicely; now I saw this inegration too and I thought it could be great to use with "Force Time Use" and installed it...
Now (literaly) I am changing utility meters to shelly until Will can check our messages... I bought him a coffee in the meanwhile...

[AviadorLP]

Just noticed that the solax inverter temperature also always shows 0 ºC when the inverter is idle,
don't know if this is the normal behavior though ????

[emanuelsilvapt]

Hi
Does your inverter takes "a lot" of time to adjust battery charging amps limit when you define it via integration?
From what I saw, not only it take a lot of time, but it doesnt adjust it at all if in idle; can you confirm?
Thanks a lot

[AviadorLP]

Hi Wills106 i just noticed this and went to check in the solax cloud and also on the inverter panel and i noticed the sensor.solax_export_control_user_limit is 10 times lower then the real value.
Mine is set to 6000w and the sensor shows 600.0w
Changed it a few times on the inverter and cloud but the sensor always updates as 10 times lower.

[AviadorLP]

Ok so mine is one of the rare Gen 3 X1 with this bug. I can live with this. :) don't really use or need that sensor in HASS. Thanks
