Fronius GEN24 Modbus Control - how to get it working?

The local Fronius API (REST API used by the other apps) is readonly access. It can only read realtime data.

In addition there is a Solarweb cloid API to get additional data.

I’m using the HomeAssistant Integration, because it combines both. Then I just import the data to Homey via HA community app.

I made and use the Modbus TCP app to control some special settings for my Gen24. You don’t have many possibilities, that’s why I just used basic Modbus instead of implementing an app.

I use Modbus for:

  • limit battety usage while car charging from grid
  • force battery charging from grid (winter at night based on price)
  • you can set minimum battery level
  • but not so much more.
