Although you did not mention it, can you clarify on whether or not you also have the Modbus app running on Homey (or any other Modbus app outside of Homey trying to connect to the inverter)?
AFAIK, the standalone Modbus app is not required to use the SolarEdge + Growatt TCP modbus app, but when both apps are running at the same time, they can interfere with each other. It is possible to run the apps side by side, but does require your to manually manage the connection from the Modbus app
Only Solaredge app is running, no other modbus stuff. Also tried device ID 2 but that isnât it. I can check the installer settings on the inverter and it show ID 1.
not really sure whatâs going on or what next steps I can take. Any suggestions ?
I donât have access to the Modbus settings for my setup. I had to ask my installer to enable it. I donât know about the protocol, but I did have to ask him to set the Modbus TCP parameter to âEnabled (unrestricted)â. I sent him the following instructions:
Title: Issue adding KOSTAL Plenticore Plus via âSolarEdge + Growatt TCP modbusâ (timeout)
Hi,
Iâm trying to add my KOSTAL Plenticore Plus inverter to my Homey Pro 2023 using the âSolarEdge + Growatt TCP modbusâ app.
My setup:
Inverter: KOSTAL Plenticore Plus
Homey: Homey Pro 2023
Network: Same LAN, inverter reachable via ping
Modbus TCP on the inverter:
Enabled
Port: 1502
Unit ID: 71
What happens:
I install the âSolarEdge + Growatt TCP modbusâ app.
I go to Devices â + â select the app â choose the KOSTAL / inverter driver.
During the pairing process, Homey shows the error:
âDie Installation ist vielleicht fehlgeschlagen, weil sie zu lange gedauert hat.â
(roughly: âInstallation may have failed because it took too longâ)
The device sometimes appears in the device list, but it shows 0 W and does not seem to update.
Additional info:
The inverter responds to ping on its IP address.
No other system should be using Modbus TCP on this inverter at the same time.
Homey app version: [your mobile app version, if you want]
I try do bring my Emma and the Rest of my Photovoltaik in Emma with the solaeEdge + growatt ap. But it did Not work. I get Kontakt with Emma, modbus is on, but all I get is this:
The Solaredge+Growatt app has itâs own special topic, like many apps have.

And often the first post has lots of howtoâs, FAQ and troubleshooting guides!
My device doesnât get updated anymore? Some values do get updated but the current power is not updated for 18 days now. The connection itself seems fine. Anyone a solution? Telnet on this port to this device works fine.
Weird question, but is anyone else experiencing a difference in battery charging? For the last two years, âForced modeâ âStop 10â would fully stop the battery from charging. Nothing in, nothing out. Since last week, the battery has suddenly started to trickle-charge at exactly 100W when I give these commands. Not a huge problem, but definitely unexpected⊠O.o
Unfortunately no. No solution so far. I even made things worse by messing with my inverter settings and now I canât connect to it at all. Iâm thinking about forking the other app for Huawei web data readings, because thatâs what Homewizard uses and it works fine. Itâs just a matter of fixing the app to allow the new login method.
I have your app running for some time now and everything worked well until 2-3 weeks ago.
I have a sungrow inverter, but the data doesnât come through anymore.
I tried several things: reinstall the device, deleted the app and installed the official version, I tried also the test version of the app,⊠Nothing does the trick.
