also producing and throttled is not the default. so maybe maybe you got an update or your installation guy did something remotely.
Or your grid provider can influence your inverter
Hmm will check with the installation company. They or Solardegde did an upgrade to use the local API, no other updates has done as far as I know. But gonna check.
thnx!
good, enum cap like status I cannot show on insights.
New test version
with Solaredge bug fixes, like crashes when modbus values or scale are empty plus fix double battery.
Growatt Support- SPHxxx series Hybrid Inverter and others in the same range.

Hi Edwin, great work on your app!
Would it be possible to cap generated power based on need? My energy provider charges negative power prices. This often hapens when itās windy and also sunny. I.e. in these hours, using a kWh from the net gives me ā¬0.10 (plus taxes, fees, etcā¦). But delevering a kWh to the net costst met ā¬0,10. This can get pretty costly at 10kW times a few hours a week.
The SE inverter sould have some sort of option for this? https://knowledge-center.solaredge.com/sites/kc/files/application_note_power_control_configuration.pdf
I have a P1 monitor on the main energy meter in order to track the current power need.
I would appreciate your insights on this.
hey yes.
so it supports import and export control as a flow also so from the menu but then I set some default values for import/export limit
To do this you need to use inverter with meters, battery device. ( even when you donāt have meters or batt it should work)
that enables the menu actions and flow triggers.
let me know if it works
Hi Edwin,
Thx for your quick reply! I deleted the inverter and added an inverter-battery setup.
Some feedback on you instructions:
How should āsetting the right modeā work?
In both the web gui as the app gui I canāt verify if the right mode is set; When I re-enter the main menu, it auto-selects the first main-mode and the first sub-mode. Iām not even sure if Iām looking at 4+7+2 modes from which I should select one, or if I should select a sub-mode from every main-mode.
Total export and import is displaying unreal numbers
Would it me possible in a new release to hide specific data or enable the Export Limit mode for the non-battery inverter?
hey, thinking about this.
do you have meters installed? I think that is needed because you still want to do your own consumption but no export.
can you check if you can do this from solaredge menu. if so we need to find out what we can add to normal inverter
also send me some diagnostic reports so I know what is going on?
also try to do a trigger flow when menu is failing and resetting to original state
Hi Edwin,
Youāre right about the meters. Iāll have a P1 monitor arriving next Tuesday. This unit will be plugged in to the main meter. This same main meter is also tracking consumption and export for my energy provider. The P1 output on the meter is supplying realtime in/ex-port data to Homey.
Output limit should only enabled when market price is below ā¬0,-. Iām receiving this info from the āPower by the hourā app. And yes, the limit should be set to 0 plus my current consumption. Should be an easy to setup flow.
How can I generate diagnostics reports. Iām not sure what you mean with ātrying to do a trigger flow when menu is failing and resetting to original stateā.
Hey,
you can try to enable export/ import limit from homey flow. make a flow trigger like this
but can you 1st can try to do this on the inverter. if that works we can do this for sure.
also maybe the requirement is, you need to have meters on your solaredge . this is not the same as P1.
if you go to my app on homey you can find the button to send diagnostic report.

Guess this is what you need?
More information on export limitation in a non-battery SE inverter setup.
yeah , I know this doc.
this looks ok and promising.
storage_control_mode 4 xxx Storage Control Mode
storage_accharge_policy 1 xxx Storage AC Charge Policy
storage_accharge_Limit 0 xxx Storage AC Charge Limit

export_control_site 50 xxx Export control site limit
let me check this and make a new test version.
Did you try this on solaredge yourself ? and send me the diagnostic report again.
0 means it is not enabled. 50w is ok at least.
and need to check this on your inverter. mostly you see after a hour it goes to the defaults again and need to redo this.
remote_control_command_timeout 3600 xxx Remote Control Command Timeout
I am now making a test version which has this on the normal inverter.
{

{

}
Do I need to enable anything like āexternal controlā on the inverter?
checking this now, I know I do this for batt stuff. but I think this is basic export/import.
