[APP][Pro] Solis Cloud Inverter - Receive realtime data from your Solis Inverter

:saluting_face::smiling_face:

Oww, that situation didn’t cross my mind apparently :face_with_peeking_eye::grimacing:
Sometimes people ask if this or that works, while they can just test it themselves. But that’s more work :wink:

It should work with the Homey Solis Cloud Inverter app, only it’s uncertain which functionality is supported.

Make sure to include a so called datastick with the order, available as wifi or ethernet model (that’ll make the inverter cloud connected):

I got these capabiities for my non-hybrid inverter:

I have installed version 1.2.1. But I need version 1.2.2 (to get energy revenue working in the energy tab of homey) but I cannot install it.

How to get version 1.2.2?

Is there a version 1.2.2? I recently asked Homey again about the new version that allows you to limit the inverter.

Their response:
“Unfortunately, we haven’t yet received the necessary information from Solis to proceed with this and other projects that are taking time. Therefore, we ask that you patiently wait for further updates, which we will send when we have more information. Our apologies in advance.”

Look at the changelog…

Sometime in April, the app was taken over from a developer by Solis/Homey. I’m afraid it’s no longer available.

You can try it via the suggestion button.

I’d install v1.3.0 test (should be a successor of v1.2.2)? It runs fine since last April.
(No clue why v1.2.2 doesn’t install, I also ended up with v1.2.1 while testing)

For the change with v1.2.2 / v1.3.0, regarding the energy tab, after updating you’ll need to remove and add the Solis device again (if you didn’t yet);

It’s mentioned @ changelog, but it could use a few more words :wink:

Two months ago I installed this test version. But I got an error on power meter after I readded the inverter. Maybe I ll give it a try again because it is running smoothly on your homey.

Can anyone help me with the information below? I know a lot, but technical terms are beyond me. I’m setting up my Solis battery and came across the following information. Can/will someone explain what this means?

If I’ve got all this correct, I’ll add my Solis battery to Homey using the Solis app. Thank you very much in advance.

And if anyone happens to know which numbers I need to enter, I’ll be a happy man. I have Zonneplan as my provider.

Nobody to help me with this information?

I think I have to put near officient the btw?

And 0,02 for extra from Zonneplan.

I really don’t know :weary_face:

Has anyone figured out if it’s possible to identify when a battery is being used? I’ve set up the inverter and battery with the test version of the app and I can see them etc, but I can’t see anything obvious that would indicate “on battery power”. There’s a battery charging state, but that one doesn’t seem to work.

Unfortunately we didnt solve that function due to time.

I havent heard from Homey Developer att all after I sent them some requested functions for the official app.

Hej Peter,

Curious about how you contacted the dev, because the app store says this forum topic is the (only) way to contact them.

By the way, Kim is not the developer anylonger, “Solis Nederland” is. But maybe you knew alr.

Hej Peter.

Kim helped me put together the driver for the connection to the battery in his app.
It was a collab between me and Kim to get more functions with his Solis app he had created.

My contact with Homey was on that part when Kim briefed Homey for the “take over” of his app, I got a chance to write down some functions for the battery that I hope Homey/Solis will add to the official app.

So it is not on day to day contact :wink:

Hi @Peter_Kawa

My take on this: Peter (the swedish viking) and I, we collaborated on the battery-part of the app.

I was later in direct contact with Homey and the external developer. Homey asked for requested features and I then said, that I think, Homey should take over the app. Support and feedback and better product for the (happy) users.

I later handed over the app to the external developers that Homey matched. Last communication date is: 2. may, 2025.

No golden handshake yet :slight_smile:

Peter (Viking) did communicate 20. may. Where he listed some very fair features.

The test version, in combination with the three power values was enough to allow me to extrapolate the data I needed (when battery is being used). Not great, but works. Not sure where I saw the comment, but Homey seem to be waiting for information from Solis which just isn’t happening. That said, I dug into the API a bit with help from the current app code as well as the implementation for HomeAssistant (Solis Implementation). Not really sure what input they’d need from Solis.

It’s really taking a long time. I was still excited in April. Maybe we should all submit a ticket at Solis to have the power limit feature in the Homey app.:smiling_face_with_horns:

Hello!

I have this Solis inverter, and I installed your app, but unfortunately, it does not work.
I tested more versions, and I cannot see anything on my Homey Pro device.

I have the API URL and the secret key.
The staff from Solis just enabled for me.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to change something else on my Solis inverter?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hi @Grafup please share a screenshot of the settings of the app - with start and end of your api-key.
Please blur or color the middle-part.

thank you very much for this fast answer.
