Home Assistant SolaX | LuisPa - apuntes técnicos

Describo cómo he integrado en Home Assistant mi instalación Fotovoltaica con paneles Axitec, un Inversor SolaX y un par de baterías Triple Power. Tras probar varias opciones me he decantado por la integración MODBUS/TCP que trabaja en local, vía LAN y saca más datos que el resto de opciones.

Thanks for the writeup on my custom_component / Integration 😊

This integration completely replaces the need for the previous "Packages"

There is now support for installing through HACS and you can also program the Inverter through the Integration directly including battery charging time slots.

Thank you, nice to see it under HACS, it's a great integration.

I've uninstalled and reinstall from HACS and update this Tech Note. Working perfect !!

My next challenge is "program the Inverter through the Integration directly including battery charging time slots", I have zero experience with that, so will need to read/understand it before :-).

I haven't done many automations with the Integration yet. I mostly just set it manually. There is a bug where the number.x & select.x don't get created in Lovelace when you manually control the front end. The easiest way to add them in is with a new "Entities Card"

entities:
  - entity: select.solax_charger_use_mode
  - entity: select.solax_allow_grid_charge
  - entity: number.solax_battery_charge_max_current
  - entity: number.solax_battery_discharge_max_current
  - entity: number.solax_battery_minimum_capacity
  - entity: number.solax_forcetime_period_1_max_capacity
  - entity: number.solax_forcetime_period_2_max_capacity
  - entity: select.solax_charger_start_time_1
  - entity: select.solax_charger_end_time_1

  - entity: select.solax_charger_end_time_2
  - entity: button.solax_battery_awaken

Looking at your blog, you will need to change the default "solax" to "solaxm"

I plan to set the "Grid" charging based on next days Solar Forecast and the state of the battery SOC percentage.

Ok, thank you very much. I’ll test it !!

Thanks.

Tested and updated the note !
