Connect my Solar Panel(Sungrow) to Homey Energy

Hi!

I have now installed my Homey Energy Dongle. Now I have plan to Connect my Solar Panel Inverter(Sungrow), Battery(Sungrow) and EV Carger(Easee), but I can’t find any way to Connect them. I have an App for my EV Charger, but don’t know how to get it to be showen on the Energy page. In the buying advice for Solar Panel it says: To connect to the user’s home network and integrate with Homey Pro, Sungrow inverters require an external communication dongle, available in Wi-Fi or Ethernet versions. Once connected, users can monitor power output, battery levels, solar generation, inverter temperature, total and daily energy yield, and grid import/export data. They can also remotely configure operation modes, set export limits, and adjust charge and discharge parameters. I have an external communication dongle(Wifi) to communicate with the Inverter app iSolarcloud, how do I do to get the information from ISolarCloud to Homey?

Hello Henric,

Assuming you mean Homey Pro with

It would be so much easier when you provide for the inverter model and links to the product page and “buying advice” (by who?) page as well.

I did some search in advance, and found the inverters are modbus enabled.

There’s 2 apps you can use, one being the Modbus app, but the second app might be easier to use:
And as you can see, using the search bar for sungrow returns exactly that app, SolarEdge + Growatt TCP Modbus:

What’s not clear is, this app is not restricted (anymore) to SolarEdge and Growatt inverters.

Yes I ment Homey PRO. The Buying Advice comes from the Energy page under Power ups and Learn More. If I will use Modbus, then I have to switch my Wifi-dongle to a Modbus-dongle and Connect it with a Ethernet cable?

No, modbus also can work via wifi connections.
F.e. I’ve a wifi connected SMA inverter connected to a wifi connected Homey, and read & control it with modbus using the SMA app

No clue what or where that is, sorry.

Okay, then I Will look inte that, thank you.
