Setting ups for Solis Cloud #283

exlabrat · 2024-11-07T17:24:16Z

Hi

I'm excited to see the new code merged for Solis Cloud as this should fit with my aims for my system. I'm trying to set up PV_opt for Solis Cloud based on the documentation but so far both PV_opt and Use PV_opt are giving me errors. I wonder if you can point me in the right direction (I'm a relative novice with scripting in HA).

This is the log for PV_opt:

But I'm guessing this might be due toPV_opt failing.

Many thanks

Hi, thanks for the log excerpt. Could you attach the full log file please? (pv_opt.log). On startup Pv_opt will log all entities with "solis" in the name so it then will be possible to work out which entity in the Solis Cloud integration reports solar output.

Its a sensor in W that reports Solar (noting mine was particularly poor today!)

If you can find the name of the entity then you can add it to config.yaml as a map entry which will solve the issue.

exlabrat · 2024-11-09T11:04:05Z

Many thanks. Could that be sensor.solis_ac_output_total_power (power)?

I've attached the log, although I can't see anything else there.

pv_opt.log

exlabrat · 2024-11-09T11:16:47Z

Actually using that mapping seems to solve that problem and I can regenerate the PV_opt dashboard.

I'm now getting other errors on the consumption data - new pv_opt.log attached
pv_opt-2.log

I'm thinking that the consumption sensor is solis_daily_grid_energy_purchased

stevebuk1 · 2024-11-09T20:19:04Z

I'm thinking that the consumption sensor is solis_daily_grid_energy_purchased

I think you are right.

In the SOLIS_SOLAX_MODBUS area of config.yaml uncomment the id_consumption_today entry and set it to sensor.{device_name}_daily_grid_energy_purchased

On the line below, check that any entries for id_consumption are commented out.

By way of explanation, Pv_opt can either use an incrementing kWh sensor or a live W sensor to work out consumption, but increasingly reading the live W sensor with 7 days history is a very large file and can cause issues for some systems.

fboundy · 2024-11-10T10:57:25Z

Worth also noting that using the instantaneous power rather than the integrated energy is potentially less accurate. My preference is always to use energy where available. Even better would be to down-sample it to 30 minutes using a jinja template in Home Assistant first

Thanks both. I have a choice between sensor.solis_daily_grid_energy_purchased and sensor.solis_daily_grid_energy_used

There's also one called sensor.solis_plant_total_consumption_power which looks to give 5 min power numbers.

I'm still working through some other sensors which seem to need mapping - currently I can generate the control dashboard but not the output dashboard(s).

@CraigCallender would you mind uploading your config.yaml to this thread so we can see what sensors you've mapped to what on your system?

stevebuk1 · 2024-11-10T22:33:48Z

Worth also noting that using the instantaneous power rather than the integrated energy is potentially less accurate. My preference is always to use energy where available.

I use energy on my system but it was more accident that deliberate. From memory it was because the default config.yaml was setup that way, but certainly for the Solax integration users the current config.yaml on main does not suggest using energy in preference to power, and I note if both entities exist and are correct then power will be used in preference to energy. I've corrected this in Dev.

Hoping to temporarily swap my system over to using this rather than the Solax integration from this evening so should be able to better support it.

@stevebuk1 @CraigCallender - I'll create a new branch solis-cloud

Ok. Was about to do the same. I think this needs a separate inverter default as the entity names don't match the other integration options.

Leave this one with me for now. May not get to it this evening but I should have time over the next couple of days.

stevebuk1 · 2024-11-12T16:53:23Z

Ok will do!

Thanks @CraigCallender, the config.yaml is really helpful. I've got this running now, and briefly had the dashboard working with a couple of cards absent, but the addition of the octopus rates card seems to kill the visualisation. Hopefully I can sort that soon

fboundy · 2024-11-13T21:26:58Z

This is very interesting!

I've dug a bit into SolisControl and I am able to move its functionality into PV_Opt. I'm also updating the solis.py module so it will read the inverter status (control mode etc) via the API. I hope to get a Beta version of this out to test over the next couple of days. This will mean that there is no need for a separate automation to run to control the inverter.

What I'd really like to do is put this functionality into the SolisCloud integration but I'm not sure my coding is up to it. I might have a go on a fork of it when I'm done with this.

CraigCallender · 2024-11-15T09:05:11Z

@fboundy I just tried 3.18 and one change I had to make to the config.yaml (newly downloaded from the repo) was on line 322 the device_name was set to soliscloud. I think this was so you could test the solis-sensor integration alongside your normal integration? But the default sensor names when installing solis-sensor is just solis, so all the mappings were broken.

exlabrat · 2024-11-15T19:01:00Z

I've got this up and running now with the dashboard. I just have two things to resolve.

Where does sensor.pvopt_opt_cost_actual and sensor.pvopt_opt_cost_current come from? I don't seem to be running those right now
A minor point on dashboards - The vertical stack card occupies a lot of space for me. Is there a setting to reduce the pace between cards? I can't find this readily.

exlabrat · 2024-11-15T19:02:24Z

This is the widget that requires pvopt_opt_cost_actual

fboundy · 2024-11-15T19:04:09Z

Yes that’s right - good catch

An update on this - having had my firmware updated to 4B00 it all changes! So I've removed this functionality for now until I can get things working again.

CraigCallender · 2024-11-19T18:34:15Z

I don’t have the new firmware on my inverter, but if someone could set their values via the Control Inverter section of the web interface with Chrome’s developer console open, you can capture the JSON sent. If you give me that, I can update my fork of solis_control.

fboundy · 2024-11-19T18:41:01Z

I’ve got a Python script that runs independently to HA so easy enough to test. I’ve raised an issue on soliscontrol too so will update that with what I find. Now need to find the Modbus register details too…
