Buffer Sizes not working for Axpert King 5kw

[Vandiliz3r]

I have tried getting the correct buffer sizes for the inverter.conf however I cannot get the correct values.

Could you please advise as all my sensors are showing as unknown in home assistant..

Thanks

Hi All,

Please help I am really struggling with the Axpert King Invertor setup with the above. Any help would be appreciated, i am not really a programmer or anything otherwise i would have climbed into the code to try resolve.

Hi @Vandiliz3r can you please try reading through the discussions in https://github.com/ned-kelly/docker-voltronic-homeassistant/issues/5 and https://github.com/ned-kelly/docker-voltronic-homeassistant/issues/4 and change the variables in your inverter.conf file accordingly.

Hi @Vandiliz3r can you please try reading through the discussions in #5 and #4 and change the variables in your inverter.conf file accordingly.

Thats exactly what i have done.. None of the bytes i insert work. The debuger also does not tell me how many bites are short or whatever..

This is why i asked if anyone has tried this one the axpert king. :(

@Vandiliz3r I have the exact same model, and I've never had this issue (with the exception of initial installation). What parameters are you using?

Could you post yours then I can try again I have uninstalled this. I will definitely give it a go again!

Here you go:

# Basic configuration options for the actual inverter polling process...

device=/dev/hidraw0

# How many times per hour is the program going to run...
# This is used to calculate the PV & Load Watt Hours between runs...
# If unsure, leave as default - it will run every minute...

# (120 = every 30 seconds)...
run_interval=120

# This allows you to modify the amperage in case the inverter is giving an incorrect
# reading compared to measurement tools.  Normally this will remain '1'
amperage_factor=1.0

# This allows you to modify the wattage in case the inverter is giving an incorrect
# reading compared to measurement tools.  Normally this will remain '1'
watt_factor=1.01

# The following settings allow you to modify runtime buffers 
# mentioned in https://github.com/ned-kelly/docker-voltronic-homeassistant/issues/5

# This allows you to modify the buffersize for the qpiri command
qpiri=104

# This allows you to modify the buffersize for the qpiws command
qpiws=67

# This allows you to modify the buffersize for the qmod command
qmod=5

# This allows you to modify the buffersize for the qpigs command
qpigs=110

Thanks! I will definately give this a go next week, Lockdown has got me busy here.

@wax911 Thanks for this, I also have an Axpert 5KVA 4KW version (Not a KING) but this helped for me. I first tried only changing qpiri to 102 or 104 but i still got the "QPIRI: incorrect start/stop bytes." error What solved it for me was changing qpiws to 67 mine was set to default (i think it was 46)
