Failed setup after changing inverter

[johnbur1]

I had the new integration working perfectly (I love it!), but unfortunately the inverter (smile5) had to be replaced this week. Now, I am getting failed setup. I have registered the new inverter s/n and check code fine on the alphacloud site - both now are there as there is no way to remove the old one.

This is in the log - any suggestions?

If you feel up to some trouble shooting there's instructions here https://github.com/CharlesGillanders/homeassistant-alphaESS/issues/86#issuecomment-1831817244 on how to gather additional information which might help?

Hi Charles, I get to the same point as Graham

I'm running HA on a VM on a synology NAS - terminal is HA addon

Hmm ok, that's annoying. I don't understand why the VM image would be so odd. Ok do you have access to any other Linux environment? One where you can install python if it's not already installed by default? I guess even just a basic Ubuntu or Debian VM might be perfect. For your issue I just need to see what the open api is returning, I don't necessarily need to see it running under home assistant.

I only have the Synology, I can set up a Linux VM on that - bear in mind you are way outside my capabilities here, so would need lots of 'idiot guiding' for what you need....

If you can get a vm up and then follow the previous instructions that should do it. If there's no python installed on the VM by default then (assuming a Debian/ubuntu distribution) this command should sort that out:

sudo apt install python

See attached for error I get - hope that is what you want?
