Sadly the re-start hasn't helped. I've noticed however that the issue only occurs when the battery is charging from 10 to 15% and the solar is putting out less than 0.4-0.6kW, which seems to be part of it's normal operation one its been used to min SoC. It hits min, then charges to 15%, then uses ...

This looks really interesting and I'd like to change my setting but don't have installer access via Foxcloud. It is possible through the inverter screen interface and if so, could somebody point me in the right direction of which options to change? I had a look but it wasn't obvious to me and i didn ...

I'll give that a go, thanks Dave.

Afternoon All,

The other day I had my firmware updated on my KH7 inverter, to take advantage of the additional data made available to home assistant in that version. All seemed well, and I can now get battery cell temps but I've noticed a strange behaviour in the PV load and individual string ...

In case it is of any use to anybody, I've had my manager firmware updated to version 1.37 and I can now get cell max and cell min in HA, plus a few other values. I can now use HA to control a heater based on cell temperature rather than BMS temp, which is much higher.

I will look into the battery cycling once I have an idea of what we'll get in normal operation. I don't have a smart meter yet so not on any tariff that would benefit from forced charge or discharge but it's hit 100% and 10% in the last week.

I have now finished the enclosure for the inverter and ...

Thanks for the info Dave, it's quite an interesting read. I'm using the modbus integration with a waveshare RE485 to ethernet gateway and have lowered my SoC to 10% and will see how it goes once it's fully cycled a few times. The forecast looks great for the next few days so looking for some good ...

Following a nice sunny day, my battery has hit 100% for the first time since it was installed, so happy to see that. I looked at the stats however and it just doesn't add up. The battery is 10kWh and today went from 19% to 100%, which should be about 8kWh but the HA dashboard only shows 10.7kWh ...

When you schedule a force-charge/force-discharge via the schedule card on your KH, do you see the charge current fluctuate wildly, or is it steady? The KH seems to behave oddly when commanded to force charge/discharge via the integration. Will wrote an automation as an alternative way of doing it ...

In case it's of any use for anybody in the future, I seem to have cracked it using the "Scheduler Card" integration from HACS. It gives the option to set any work mode in a single schedule and gives options for daily, week days, weekends etc. You can have as many "events" per day as required so ...

Dave, thanks for the reply. That's a shame really but I'll follow your suggestion and see what I can do.

Thanks Again!

Afternoon All,

I've recently had a solar installation completed and have generally managed to link it to HA using modbus and the FoxESS_modbus integration by Nathan Marlor. My setup includes:-

FoxESS KH7 inverter
8.8kWp solar array
Fox ESS 10kWh battery
Waveshare RS485 to Eth (B) gateway

I have ...

If it's the square 16 pin connector on the H or G series inverter, the pins are probably what are referred to as "bootlace" crimps, which essentially go onto the end of the wire like the plastic things on the end of laces, to tidy up the end and give a good connection. They need to be attached to ...
