I’d also be very interested in a modbus version. I have modbus working over TCP on my inverter (no, it doesn’t require an ethernet cable, works just fine with wifi, you just need to be on a new enough dongle firmware) and am currently using a Docker image with some scripts to create MQTT topics for the most important values, and then some HomeyScript to set variables and such. But having this in the/an app would be very useful, especially if it would also enable some write-back to change certain inverter/battery parameters. I’d certainly be happy to donate some money to make it happen - unfortunately I’m not enough of a programmer to take it on myself… ---

@Valentin_Ciopei the app works and finds the inverter without any problems. But where can I get the register number? ---

Huawei provides documentation for modbus. [https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1100050690](https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1100050690) Here is an example (I’m still testing): ![Screenshot 2024-02-28 at 19.06.02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/0/705deeca1467d88a78c3a9118e5c87364c5cc229.png) ---

@Valentin_Ciopei Does you have the opportunity to make their inverter accessible via VPN for testing? We can test TCP Modus here: [[APP][Pro] SolarEdge + Growatt TCP modbus - #829 by Edwin\_Biemond](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-solaredge-growatt-tcp-modbus/45487/829) ---

We want to expand the SolarEdge app to include Huawei. Coming to the inverter via TCP works, but you can’t display anything yet. For this @Edwin_Biemond needs an inverter that he can test with. My network currently doesn’t allow the inverter to be reached from outside. A temporary access to PV ---

Info: Search Google for Modbus Huawei. There you will find a lot about how the inverter needs to be set up. And then the IP is enough to use the new app. ---

Hi Edwin, Thanks for the great job! Unfortunately, when I add my Huawei system, no values are shown. It seems not to receive the information from the inverter. I added the IP but it doesnt communicate. Am I missing something? What does the parameter „Device ID“ mean? Is it the MODBUS ID or…? Thanks a lot! Alex ---
