Way to control Deye Inverter

[Ramaddan]

Hi,

First, one of the best Home Assistant addons out there for me.

I am using a Deye inverter SUN-8K-SG01LP1

I was wondering if there is a way to control anything on the inverter, as in change any setting from Home Assistant.

If there is, then a person can do many interesting things through Home Assistant.

Thanks

Yes, please integrate control. F.e. (de)active time of use in inverter config.

Yes, one idea in mind is to be able to turn ON and OFF the gen force, remotely

Currently, have to go down and up a building in case I need to force turn ON the generator

I came up with a config to turn gen on/off for the deye invertor. I chose custom_parameters.yaml for the configuration, and changed the file slightly to this:

requests:
  - start: 0x0003
    end: 0x0070
    mb_functioncode: 0x03
  - start: 0x0096
    end: 0x00f9
    mb_functioncode: 0x03
  - start: 0x00FA
    end: 0x0146
    # end: 0x0117
    mb_functioncode: 0x03

parameters:
 # ... all the parameters from deye_hybrid ...
 - group: Settings
   items:
    - name: "Grid Charge Ampere"
      class: "current"
      uom: "A"
      scale: 1
      rule: 1
      registers: [0x00E6]
      icon: 'mdi:current-dc'
    - name: "Gen Force"
      class: ""
      uom: ""
      state_class: ""
      scale: 1
      rule: 1
      registers: [0x0146]
      icon: 'mdi:generator-stationary'
      lookup:
        - key: 0
          value: "Off"
        - key: 8192
          value: "On"

requests needs a change to be able to query 0x0146 which is "gen force" option. And then I have template switch that uses the service to turn on/off:

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      gen_force:
        friendly_name: "Deye Gen Force"
        value_template: |
          {{ is_state("sensor.deye_gen_force", "On") }}
        turn_on:
          service: solarman.write_multiple_holding_registers
          data:
            register: 326
            values: "{{ [8192] }}"
        turn_off:
          service: solarman.write_multiple_holding_registers
          data:
            register: 326
            values: "{{ [0] }}"
        icon_template: >-
          {% if is_state("sensor.deye_gen_force", "On") %}
            mdi:engine
          {% else %}
            mdi:engine-off
          {% endif %}

Hi,

Great!!! I will try to see if I can do it. Thanks

[Ramaddan]

Sorry, do I make the file custom_parameters.yaml, or is it supposed to be there?

If I make it, how do I make it recognizable to the system? Where do I call it?

Thanks

[krasnoukhov]

You can use "configure" for your existing integration to switch to custom parameters config. This is a file you edit manually, in solarman custom component directory

[Ramaddan]

Ok. Will try it when I am free. Thanks
