How to use with HomeAssistant?

vordenken commented 1 year ago

Hello everybody,

I wanted to use this project with homeassistant because the other project for eye and home assistant (https://github.com/StephanJoubert/home_assistant_solarman) has a lot of problems.

I successfully deployed the docker container and connected to the logger as well as the mqtt broker. But how do I get the stuff to be displayed in homeassistant? I already read the homeassistant mqtt documentation but I have no clue where to set anything. The last time I added something via mqtt to homeassistant it just got discovered.

Thanks for your help.

Hardware (please complete the following information):

Inverter model: SUN600 G3

Software (please complete the following information):

Logger firmware version: 1.57
deye-inverter-mqtt version: [2023.05.4]

config.env (remove passwords before pasting):

  - DEYE_LOGGER_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.XXX.XXX
  - DEYE_LOGGER_PORT=8899
  - DEYE_LOGGER_SERIAL_NUMBER=41XXXXXXX
  - MQTT_HOST=192.168.XXX.XXX
  - MQTT_PORT=1883
  - MQTT_USERNAME=XXX
  - MQTT_PASSWORD=XXX
  - DEYE_METRIC_GROUPS=micro

The logs look good.

When it comes to MQTT integration in HA, I know that HA is listening on some discovery topics. E.g. esphome project broadcasts autodiscovery information over MQTT, so HA can find the device https://esphome.io/components/mqtt.html

This service does not publish any autodiscovery information, hence the metrics do not automagically appear in HA.

This means that you will have to map MQTT topics to HA components manually.
