EVO 10-5-H Modbus Home Assistant
Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2026 11:09 pm
Hi,
I've successfully managed to got Home Assistant to read info from my EVO 10-5-H via a modbus wifi adapter, but I'm struggling to control force charge/discharge. There doesn't seem to be a Force Charge option which has been mentioned elsewhere on the forum for other inverters, and I can't set the work mode to Force Charge - it returns the error "Failed to perform the action select/select_option. unknown error". Looking through some documentation it would appear that Force Charge and Force Discharge aren't valid write options via modbus? Other work modes can be set successfully.
Has anyone had success with force charge on the EVO, either via modbus or via the Fox Cloud API?
Thanks
Matt
