After installing, all values in VenusOS are 0 - including battery voltage, causing alarm #3

Hello, I installed the code as described. Immediately after running the install.sh script, all values in Venus (such as Grid, Critical Loads etc.) were set to zero - causing a battery alarm. So I quickly uninstalled the code, and everything went back to normal. Do you have any idea why this could happen, and how to install the code more safely? Thank you

What version of Venus OS are you using and what devices does your installation include?

It doesn't work because you already have a Quattro II in your installation.

This script is for a Hoymiles inverter connected to a battery. It emulates a Quattro inverter to be able to activate the ESS assistant. The system gets confused with the two Quattro devices.

I think this script is more suitable for your system: https://github.com/henne49/dbus-opendtu

Thank you, indeed, I did not realise that your script is intended for a different type of system.

I thought "battery connected" meant the DC-side of the Hoymiles is connected to a solar panel, and the AC-side to the battery via a MultiPlus II or Quattro II.

Now I understand the DC-side of your HM-600 is connected directly to the battery instead of a solar-panel, basically like a MPII without the charger.

That is a pretty interesting setup. Is there any website describing the hardware side of the project?

Maybe it would be worth adding a sentence at the top to avoid misunderstanding.

Best regards

There is no website describing my system, but the components used in my installation are listed in the readme file.
