DEBUG_DEVICE not found

Issue related to

Sunsynk / mbusd Home Assistant Add-On

Describe the issue/bug

Error message trying to start add-on and saving config: Device /dev/ttyAMA0 does not exist in Sunsynk/Deye Inverter Add-on (multi) (4bb530c7_hass-addon-sunsynk-multi).

Tried changing the setting in YAML from /dev/ttyAMA0 to some of the items listed under dev like /dev/stdout but cannot save the config complaining the DEBUG_DEVICE was not found.

Expected behavior Add-on not starting after Home Assistant OS upgrade to 11.2

Do you see any other options in visual mode?

Its not being used in your config, so simply select anything that is avaliable

[Elsorus]

Unfortunately, there is nothing displayed. No radio button(s) as is the case in OS version 11.1

Hi same problem here !

don't see any DEBUG_DEVICE list to select proper one

I have tried to insert several values but always same write error

this is my yaml config file

    MODBUS_ID: 1
    DONGLE_SERIAL_NUMBER: "23xxxxxxxx"

this is my USB device in HW definition of HA (RPI 3 Model B)

thanks for support Davide

Did this work before an upgrade?

[Elsorus]

This all started after the upgrade from HA OS 11.1 to 11.2. I have some automations that depend on the inverter formation so I rolled back to 11.1 and all is working again

[arzaman]

Did this work before an upgrade?

my first installation so I have no previous experience

home assistant core 2023.11.3 did everthing from scratch

PS did also several restart/browser cache cleaning/different browser used thanks Davide

[duanemck]

Just had the same issue after upgrading to 11.2 Luckily I still had another device listed under DEBUG_DEVICE that I could pick which solved the issue.

[kellerza]

It seems /dev/AMA0 was removed in 11.2.

The result is that if you have no actual USB device on your host, which is normal for a install using mbusd on a remote device, you might have an issue

DEBUG_DEVICE should now be optional in 0.6.5

[arzaman]

I try to update/reinstall 0.6.5 but now got an error during installation ..

Can't install ghcr.io/kellerza/hass-addon-sunsynk-multi/aarch64:0.6.5: 500 Server Error for http+docker://localhost/v1.43/images/create?tag=0.6.5&fromImage=ghcr.io%2Fkellerza%2Fhass-addon-sunsynk-multi%2Faarch64&platform=linux%2Farm64: Internal Server Error ("manifest unknown")

[kellerza]

It should now be available

[arzaman]

It works fine now for me ! great and prompt support, thank you Davide

[arzaman]

@kellerza since you are so kind little bit of assistance more (not related to above issue)

all works flowlsessly ...really cool integration with no extra HW !

the only little issue that PV2 voltage/current counters are missing ..just POWER is reporte, PV1 all OK !

my inverter DEYE 5KW hybrid inverter SUN-3.6/5/6K-SG03LP1-EU let me know if something I can fix by myself

thanks again Davide

[kellerza]

It might be part of the definitions today (these you add simply by adding the name to config)

if not in the definitions, you can add new definitions with mysensors - search mysensors in the docs. Its fairly easy to add additional ones

Done ! it works fine now...all KPI available

thanks again ...may I buy you a coffe/beer ? :-)

Closing as this was related to the HA OS upgrade and DEBUG_DEVICE was made optional in 0.6.5
