Solis Configuration (times) not working

[pyriel800]

In Solis Hyrbid inverter definition there is a difference in the Time Start Charge and Discharge sensors:

- name: "Timed Charge Start"
        platform: time
        state_class: measurement
        scale: 1
        rule: 9
        registers: [43143, 43144]
        icon: "mdi:wrench-clock"

      - name: "Timed Charge End"
        class: time
        state_class: "measurement"
        scale: 1
        rule: 9
        registers: [43145, 43146]
        icon: "mdi:wrench-clock"

      - name: "Timed Discharge Start"
        class: time
        state_class: "measurement"
        scale: 1
        rule: 9
        registers: [43147, 43148]
        icon: "mdi:wrench-clock"

      - name: "Timed Discharge End"
        class: time
        state_class: "measurement"
        scale: 1
        rule: 9
        registers: [43149, 43150]
        icon: "mdi:wrench-clock"

The state class is differently defined.

The initial implementation results in the following items in HA

Which are in the sensors category not the configuration items

Other than this, the integration is awesome and thank you very much for what you have done!

Hi @pyriel800, thank you for your bug report!

fix: Solis Hybrid platforms for Timed entities

And what about that Timed Discharge Current entity? I see it doesn't have a value..

[pyriel800]

Yes, this is also empty. I'm not sure if it is configured or just using the BMS to determine the value. It seems dynamic in the system - when I discharge I peak at ~4.9kW but it drops after a short while

[davidrapan]

It should be configurable value the same way as Timed Charge Current. You should be able to set Charging/Discharging current limit with them...

But I don't see an error in its entity description in the file... so I'm clueless why it wasn't able to get currently set value.

[pyriel800]

This is what I see for that entity: Is there anything else you need me to get out of the system?

For the timed sensors that are not working this is the entity page:

[pyriel800]

It also looks like the times are being defined as sensors in the setup ie. sensor. not time.solis_timed_charge_end

[davidrapan]

Try v24.09.06 it will fix that entities with incorrect descriptions.

[pyriel800]

This seems to have fixed it. All time entities are now showing correctly

I will read the disharge amps register using a spare Pi that I previously used for some CLI debugging/querying. I'm not worried about that parameter but it would be good to understand what is going on there :)

Thank you very very much for looking into this!

You can also try to read register: 43142 manually using integration service: Solarman: Read Holding Registers (Modbus Function Code 3) and see if it will give you a value or...

[pyriel800]

Which finally I have done and it returns the following:

sensor.solisdischamps: '43142': 1000

Okay so now it makes sense. According to the returned value it says it's set to 100 A but docs says that the max value can be only 70 A (and that's how it's set in the profile so because it gave the value out of range it's shown as empty).

So are the docs wrong?

[pyriel800]

Which docs? Are they official Solis docs?

I think I configured by discharge output to 100A to maximise the potential of my battery stack. The BMS actually reports an output rating of 180A but that's a little too high (and the inverter is 5k!).

I suspect that the docs that you're referring to are incorrect in terms of what is allowed.

Could be.. or at least dated.

[davidrapan]

Could you maybe then try to find out what is the max value inverter let's you put in?

Edit: It could be in fact even higher than what's reported by the BMS. On my Deye device it's 210 A.

[pyriel800]

These are the values from the app/website for allowed input. I can try exceeding that when I get back home but suspect it will error on write. On 8 Sep 2024, at 15:07, David Rapan @.***> wrote: Could you maybe then try to find out what is the max value inverter let's you put in?

I increased the range to 180 A for now in: fix: Minor bugs in inverter profiles and is part of v24.09.08
