How to... add two Inverters?

[apographon]

Describe the bug I have a SH8.0RT as main Inverter incl. Battery supporting my House. An additional SG2.5RS-S is installed on the Garage. Both are "disjuncted", so the Installation is kind of "Y"-Installation. Garage and House are dis-coupled. I have a SMA Home Manager 2.0 as central Smart Meter. Any chance to get the SG2.5RS-S as additional Input without comprising the SH8.0RT setup somehow? :-o

SOmeone just posted a fairly detailed 'how to' do this

I have two SG5.0RS working wonderfullty here -

Bascially you just duplicate the entries in secrets.yaml and make a second modbus_sungrow.yaml

just ensure every 'duplicate' is called something slightly different my second file adds a _2 at the end of all the unique ID's and automations
