Integration is not working with my current configuration #24

I also have a question about this. Unfortunately, the Louis Bertelsmann integration of Sungrow-Wallbox-Modbus-HomeAssistant is not working for me.

Here's what I've configured or checked:

Added YAML entry in "Secrets"

wallbox_modbus_host_ip: expressif # TODO update with the IP of your inverter's WiNet-S dongle (not ModBus LAN port). No default. Check your router.
wallbox_modbus_port: 502 # TODO update with the Modbus port of your inverter WiNet-S dongle. Default is '502'.
wallbox_modbus_slave: 3 # TODO update with the slave address of your wallbox. Default is '3'.

Entered the IP address as used for the inverter integration, which works perfectly.
Opened the WiNet-S web interface to check the Modbus ID.
Copied modbus_wallbox.yaml to the "integrations" level.
Created a dashboard; I can see many entities, but not all, and

some are grayed out or
show "Not available."

Does anyone have a tip for me?

Thanks!

Hi Are you using the same IP/hostname and port for both integrations? If yes, thats your problem. The ModBus TCP client cannot handle two connections to the same destination. Try to use the IP and port of the ModBus TCP Port for the mkaiser integration and the IP and port of the dongle (WiNet-S) for the wallbox integration. If you only want to use the dongle, you have to setup a ModBus TCP proxy with two ports and configure them for your integrations.

PS: if your wallbox/charger is connected to the inverter, check out my extended mkaiser integration. Together with the integration of Louis Bertelsmann you can have a dashboard with nearly all functions like in the app (its not finisehd completely yet).

Good luck!

You’re right; I used the same IP address – that explains the issue.

Currently, I’m running version 2024-04-05 from M. Kaiser and have been since almost day one.

It makes complete sense that the inverter also reads data from the wallbox. Thanks for pointing that out!

Which version now includes the extended features, including wallbox data? Is it version 2024-10-24 - Sungrow-SHx-Inverter-Modbus-Home-Assistant /modbus_sungrow.yaml?

Thx a lot 4 your support and time!

Correct, I have forked the mkaiser integration and try to keep it up to date with my charger additions.

Just to be sure: you need my sungrow integration and the one of Louis Bertelsmann to use my charger dasboard.
