HYD 6000-ZSS HP receiving mqtt with zero on all values

[megamarco833]

hello, i have an inverter model HYD 6000-ZSS HP and i flashed a wemoss D1 mini

//#define INVERTER_ME3000               // Uncomment for ME3000
#define INVERTER_HYBRID         // Uncomment for Hybrid

i'm using a TTL - RS485 generic (i'm waiting that MAX3485 will arrive) https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H5299716877f943ae80442061597977df9.jpg i connect TTL-RS485 to Wemos RX to D6 TX to D7 VCC to 3v3 GND to GND

i see on oled: "standby" online if i subscrive to Sofar2mqtt/state i see {"running_state":0,"grid_voltage":0,"grid_current":0,"grid_freq":0,"grid_power":0,"battery_power":0,"battery_voltage":0,"battery_current":0,"systemIO_power":0,"batterySOC":0,"battery_temp":0,"battery_cycles":0,"consumption":0,"solarPV":0,"solarPVAmps":0,"today_generation":0,"Solarpv1":0,"inverter_temp":0,"inverter_HStemp":0}

so all values are zero.

i have this plug and i connect my TTL RS485 to pin5 and pin6 of this plug (that's the only pin that display the message above) and when i connect these two pins at main plug inside inverter display i see RS485 symbol in upper left corner

[megamarco833]

i just notice that on OLED display on wemoss is showed:

sofar2mqtt
 online
 standby 

and after sometime just for a less then a second appear:

sofa2mqtt
 online
 RS485
 ERROR

then immediately the first message

i also use arduino serial monitor and this is the log:

Hi,

Do you have the pinout for that connector? It is possible that only one of the RS485 wires is in the correct pin, sometimes that will "trick" the inverter into thinking that an RS485 is in fact connected and will show the symbol in the display. The RS485 symbol will disappear after about 30 secs... It has happened to me :) I cannot help you with the pinout as I have a different model.

Hi, Do you have the pinout for that connector? It is possible that only one of the RS485 wires is in the correct pin, sometimes that will "trick" the inverter into thinking that an RS485 is in fact connected and will show the symbol in the display. The RS485 symbol will disappear after about 30 secs... It has happened to me :) I cannot help you with the pinout as I have a different model.

hello, thanks for your reply. finally i talked with customer care and they told me that the protocol is changed since 2021 with new generation of inverters (V3) and now all inverters mono phase and 3 phases (mine is mono phase) have the new common protocol RS485 modbus with new addresses. i find the new addresses and i try to change your code with new one and i receive the right response, but the numbers aren't display correctly. example: grid_freq":5001 should be 50,01

this is the json where i just try to change some addresses with new ones {"running_state":0,"grid_voltage":0,"grid_current":0,"grid_freq":5001,"grid_power":5001,"battery_power":65534,"battery_voltage":491,"battery_current":65466,"systemIO_power":65466,"batterySOC":27,"battery_temp":20,"battery_cycles":0,"consumption":0,"solarPV":0,"solarPVAmps":0,"today_generation":0,"Solarpv1":0,"Solarpv2":0,"today_consumption":0,"inverter_temp":0,"inverter_HStemp":0}

i see in documentation that new now they are using 16bit and not 8bit could be that the reason?

this below is a configuration for HA that i find:

 - name: "Frequenza di rete" #"ongrid_frequency"
    slave: 1 
    address: 0x0484
    data_type: int16 
    device_class: frequency 
    unit_of_measurement: "Hz" 
    scale: 0.01
    scan_interval: 10
    precision: 2

so i confirm that inverter plug connection are pin5 and pn6 for RS485 and all is working from connection side, but are been needed new addresses.

do you like to add the support also for the new generation inverter if i can share the new protocol ? :)

For some values it is sufficient to change the scale value. For other values such as battery power it is necessary to create template sensors to transform the value. You can find examples here too Configuration

i would like to have the data corrected display by the code (.ino) because i don't have HA, but i have domoticz my idea was to change to source code to have the compatibility with new inverters that has new addresses and 16bit data (but i'm not sure if the wrong number format is due to 16bit vs 8bit) example frequency that i receive is 50000 instead of 50,00

@double1968 do you have the new inverter with new addresses? if yes may i ask if you succeed on find the right address to:

1. the instant power of loadings (the lamp icon on bottom right)
2. the instant power coming from the net (the icon on top right)
3. what are the addresses to look at battery status and PV status that you see in top second row that show alternate battery status and PV1 and PV2 status?

about point1 and point2 i see addres 0x04AF but i'm not sure if it is for poin1 or point2 about point3 i'm totally lost .. any suggestions?  

@cmcgerty this is the new protocol: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1p6p7n8-V2jlFid3FPPk5L4Sn4-tOWscQwpkahq5jRbs/htmlview#

no sorry i don't have the new inverter.

no sorry i don't have the new inverter.

ah ok, sorry :)

may i ask you why do you have this calculation that is needed only for these parameters below?

power and other data are returned with values to be processed with that formula.

hi @megamarco833 I have a SOFAR HYD 5000-EP with software V030021

I encounter the same issue, no values in HA

what software version do you have? And is the thing I need to do change the addresses to new ones?

[megamarco833]

hello, my inverter is different model than yours, anyhow i discovered that the modbus protocol is different for new inverters, it has a different addresses. in my case this was the reason why i was not able to get any value

So I do need to replace the used addresses in the Solar2mqtt.ino file to new ones I have to lookup in the google spreadsheet?
