Re: RS485 communication interface

Dave,

With your guidance I have got it working! Much appreciated. I wasn't adding it after adding it through HACS.

I will need to look at charge periods and the setting you've advised should be disabled. Presumably these are easily changed via home assistant now.

Thanks again.

Re: RS485 communication interface

Thanks Dave. I've tried a few of those integrations, and currently have that one installed. HA is installed via docker if that makes any difference. I've definitely got them wired to 485A/B, and not the meter one. After trying your suggestion below, I think I'll need to switch A and B round and see ...

Re: RS485 communication interface

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. I have the Elfin EW11 wired into the h1 inverter with the A and B connections in what I'm fairly certain is the right place 485A and 485B respectively? I also have the EW11 powered via USB and all settings as per HA gui...

It's a slot that says M20 x 1.5, looks like you could put a coin in and turn it. When I try and turn it, nothing is moving and I f...

Removing meter/CT clamp for modbus?

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of assistance please. I have a modbus to connect into the inverter (H1-5.0.E), but there's a cable coming out of the rs485 port, leading to a CT on the cable linking into the meter. Assuming they are using the same port, is it possible/sensible to remove the existing cable ...
