... now what? Sorry if this is an absolute newbie question but what should happen now? What else do I need to configure after adding the integration as instructed to be able to read values from my inverter? What am I supposed to do?

OK, I need to configure a couple of things manually I guess...

Well, I set up a config.yaml which is working for my local SunGather clone in combination with my inverter but here nothing happens. Nothing pops up in Home Assistant. What have I missed?

I'm not sure this is already usable in any kind of environment beyond development / proof of concept.

Anyway if you configured it correctly you should see entities under http://homeassistant.local:8123/config/entities?domain=sungrow No further yaml needed.

I've been using this integration myself for over a year, so it should work for you as long as you just have 1 inverter. The bug with 2 inverters should be fixed soon.

I'd recommend reading the HomeAssistant docs once to get familiar with how it works. After installing the integration, you need to add a Sungrow device. Check out this video for a general walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y5ofKHDXmw

@alangibson @AlexanderLanin First of all, happy new year! Thanks a lot to both of you, now measured values from my inverter are finally showing up! Alan, you were right, the only thing which was missing was to add a Sungrow device. So I think I'm all set now, at least in respect of integrating the inverter to my Home Assistant setup. Thanks a lot guys, I will close this thread now.
