I have a GW5000D-NS inverter, which is currently connected to Homey via the cloud. However, I find the cloud connection unstable and therefore want to read it locally. I currently have a Wi-Fi module in the inverter. Do I need a LAN module to read it via Modbus?
Really happy with the app, any reason why there is not a āthanā option. Switch on/off would be a valuable add-on for many of us with a dynamic energy contract.
Hi @Michal_Stranik ,
Iād like to ask if it would be possible to add more data to the appāit doesnāt even have to be displayed on the deviceās home screen; it would just need to be readable in Homey and usable within logical variables. Specifically, Iād be interested in feed-in power by phase and the houseās consumption by phase.
Iād be happy to send a contribution for this.
Did anyone find a solution for the problem stated above, that an inverter is connected by modbus but doesnāt show any data?
I have tried connecting the inverter to Home Assistant, and it shows everything without issues. Also via modbus. So, my guess itās something with Homey or the app.
Hello and thank you Michal for this awesome app. I just got such an inverter and was so happy to see I can integrate it to Homey.
It works flawlessly so far. May I ask for a little improvement?
Would it be possible to add cards for āandā? I mean Iād like to switch my pool pump on IF the battery is above 90 % charge AND the power from the collectors is above 2 kWh so I can be sure that the battery is still charging, you know?
This is just an example, apart from that we could create even nicer scenarios
Been using this app (modbus) for reading soc. Now I have added a second identical Inverter (ET) with the same FW.
However, it seems like the app doesnāt handle more then one Inverter over Modbus. When just add one Inverter it also reads the info of the second Inverter. Which makes the app unusable. Love the app but is there a way to make it handle more then one Inverter?
Now it jumps between information from the the two inverters.
I use HA to read it properly for now but it would have been nice to use this app.
I have a GW5000D-NS inverter, which is currently connected to Homey via the cloud. However, I find the cloud connection unstable and therefore want to read it locally. I currently have a Wi-Fi module in the inverter. I can access the inverter via the solargo app. But accessing via mosbus is not working.
Do i do something wrong?
First, VERY happy with the app. my whole energy management runs via goodwe app (battery system). But the last couple of weeks the app stays as crashed en does not read out data via modbus. I have tried to reconnect bus this did not work. Anything else i can try? Or is there still a flaw in the app. Thank you in advance. Kind regards
I am aware of this and I am working on solution. It seems that inverter send sometimes different response and app is not able to handle it. Before it crashed, not it freezes. Both is wrong.
Please keep updating to latest test build and if it freeze, send me diagnostic report (once per version should be enough).
Hi @Michal_Stranik, in Australia they require a device to turn off the inverter once an export limit has been reached. In The Netherlands, the inverter is required to turn off if the voltage gets above a certain threshold. As far as I know, the inverters donāt suffer from being shut down in this manner. As I understand it, GoodWe is one of the few inverter brands that offer a software on/off switch. When prices go negative, I would like to be able to shut down my inverter and start it back up again when prices go positive. There is a HACS integration that does this (GitHub - mletenay/home-assistant-goodwe-inverter: Experimental version of Home Assistant integration for Goodwe solar inverters), but I chose Homey and not HA. Any chance you would reconsider?
Iām having issues communicating to my GoodWe Inverter as per attached screenshots. System is located in Australia and perhaps the communication method varies by location?
I have triple checked my SEMS login details and the System ID as per your pairing guide. Your support link https://mistr.tech/ is not working for me to log a support ticket.
Let me know if I am missing something or if you have any suggestions.
Firstly, thank you very much for a great app, it works perfectly for me. The only thing I am missing is that my Goodwe power meter is not recognised as an Energy Meter in Homey. In other words, I cannot take advantage of all the functionality Homey offers for other energy meters such as Aeotec etc (eg. Under the Energy tab where it should who the power consumption of the house). I have posed this question in the general forum and was told the only attributes a power meter needs is measure_power and meter_power, which your app appears to have. I have also raised it with Homey support and they said their development team would look into it. But if you have any other suggestions how to get this functionality, I would appreciate it.
