Home Assistant setup

Post by Jay »

I'm trying to get Home assistant Portable working on Windows 11. (https://github.com/AlexxIT/HassWP)

It's hooked into my Roomba and the Brother printer fine but the FoxESS solar is refusing to play nice.

Either of these in the configuration.yaml file result in refusing to boot up

Instructions say put this in configuration.yaml file

sensor:
- platform: foxess
username: foxesscloud_username
password: foxesscloud_password
deviceID: foxesscloud_inverter_id
Does this mean

sensor:
- platform: foxess
username: foxesscloud_????????
password: foxesscloud_????????
deviceID: foxesscloud_????????

or :-

sensor:
- platform: foxess
username: ????????
password: ????????
deviceID: ????????

Either of these in the configuration.yaml file result in refusing to boot up.

Any pointers much appreciated.

it should be the 2nd option

Code: Select all

# FoxEss Inverter Cloud API
sensor: 
  - platform: foxess
    username: your_username
    password: your_password
    deviceID: your_device_id
But you need to watch the indentation!
H1-5.0-E1 inverter
ECS2900-H3
4400wp (SW) + 2000wp (NE) PV Array
HomeAssistant via WaveShare RS485 PoE to ETH (b)
no wi-fi (no stable connection)

goal: disconnect the FoxEss system from the internet completely and manage it from HA.
