Hi All - New System in Solihull

[Geoffs57]

Greeting to you all.

I've just installed a new system comprising 26 x 425W Perlight Solar panels with a FoxESS KH10.5kW Inverter and an ECS2900-H6 Battery (17.3kWh).
My house is a smart home with an existing Loxone Miniserver controlling it and I'm currently working on developing an interface between the FoxESS Cloud Portal (via the API) and the Loxone miniserver so I can add Loxone monitoring and, perhaps later, Loxone Energy Management to the whole setup.

I'm still a bit of a newbie, so likely to ask a few stupid questions here and there

Best Regards

Geoff.

Hi Geoff,

That's a very nice system you have there.

You can develop an interface via the cloud (OpenAPI), there is a pre-written cloud version for home assistant that allows you to read sensor values every 5 minutes https://github.com/macxq/foxess-ha - but if you want local control i'd highly recommend you move to a modbus connection via the RS485 interface on the meter/ct connector https://github.com/nathanmarlor/foxess_modbus -the latter home assistant integration has a wiki page with the various inverter protocol documents - please do ask questions, much of this has been worked out over several years and it has been known to change from time to time.
