Are you just noticing that the HA sensor is not properly reporting, or is the hub actually not in bypass state? Did you check directly in MQTT what the reported state is?
It should show it like this:
In the morning I switched over to the DEV build. Today the batterie reached again 100% and the hub went into bypass mode.
In MQTT Explorer I see
The hub went into bypass but solarflow-control is not really seeing it. The log is saying
HUB: S:200.5W [ 200.5,200.5 ], B:100% (100), V:51.5V (51.5), C: 0W, P:False (manual, not possible), F:0.0h, E:-1.0h, H: 0W, L:600W
Based on time, solarpower (200.5W) minimum charge power (175W) and bypass state (False), hub could contribute 300.8W - Decision path: 2.1.
pass=0 means the hub is NOT in bypass (yet). passMode=2 means it SHOULD switch to bypass on, however it can take a bit until the hub actually switches ( needs to reduce solarinput first )
Ah, okay. Right now I have 360W as solarinput but still pass=0 and passMode=2. Is this normal that it takes so long?
I double checked the values, solarinput went to 0 W but still pass=0 and passMode=2. There was also no energy feed from the battery to the house. I manually turned off "bypass" in HA by the control elements. Now the hub is contributing energy to the house via the battery.
I'm happy to contribute in any way with log files, etc. Just let me know :)
Actually the HA switch for passMode is not correct (@ricariel ?). passMode = 2 is manual on passMode = 1 is manual off passMode = 0 is auto (let hub firmware decide) So if you switch it to "off" in HA, you are actually switching the hub to "auto" mode, where we have seen all kinds of delays when the firmware will decide to turn it on ...
If you check the solarflow-control logs you will see various infos about the bypass:
P:False (manual, not possible)
: means BP is reported off
but in manual mode (passMode=1), sf-controls own logic has set any change to not possible
meaning it will currently not turn it on (avoiding frequent switches like in the firmware)
P:False (manual, possible)
: means it is off
but sf-control will turn it on once the battery reaches 100%
P:True (manual, possible)
: means it is on
and sf-control is controlling it
P:True|False (auto, ...)
: means passMode = 0 , the hubs firmware controls it
In your logs you should observe the state of this, usually the hub is switched to (manual, possible)
in the morning at sunrise (if control_bypass = true
is set in your config).
Once the bypass is on, sf-control will turn it off and sunset - offset if demand is higher than what is delivered via bypass (so it can start discharging if needed).
At sunrise you should see something like this (note that the bypass OFF is enforcing as sometimes the hub - if shut down - seems to reset the passMode to auto) :

Once the hub gets close to 100% battery it will reduce charging power (and thus solar input) to almost zero. At 100% battery level sf-control will then switch the bypass on. At this time likely your inverter is offline if you have no direct connected panels:

In your screenshot BP is TRUE, but somehow this isn't the case on my side. control_bypass = true
is set in the config file. Any ideas why this happens?
I use this switch for Bypass and it works:
ahja, that is a better and correct solution than what is currently pushed as template.
Nonsense used to be here... Removed... Same for next comment, which I removed entirely.
Hello @reinhard-brandstaedter, sorry to bother you again.
In an effort to understand whats happening, I scrolled through the logs of the day and actually noticed, the app apparently never really understand the hubs BP mode for me. Here is the log of the time when it turned on, but the app never realized.

Funnily, the switch in HA did move and based on what my hub does, I know it was in BP mode. However, the app never understood this. It also did not understand this hours later. The switch in HA does work for me, I can see differences when I toggle it, so its not that the switch tricks me... My config is set to let the app regulate the BP mode, which also works fine. This is what I can tell. I am also running latest master. But as said, the app does not know this, somehow...
I sadly do not have the states from MQTT, as I am not at home atm and only can retrospectively check the logs from the app. How does the app read the BP mode from the hub? Is there maybe anything wrong configured on my end? What data can I provide so that you can investigate this a bit more?
Best, MaVo
New day, new comment 🙈
I played around a bit more in an effort to fix this issue for me locally, but had no success as of yet. To me, it seems almost clear, that my hub2k does not report pass = 1
in MQTT, although its in BP mode. So there is one question @floriandrott - do you have a hub2000or the older hub1200?
What I've tried is by modifying the source code in the container to set the BP state when it reaches 100% battery and keep this value. However, as there is the telemetry update every now ad then, the manual set value is lost after 2 mins again and is replaced by pass = 0
.
The question is, does the hub2k for some reason set this value somewhat differently?
It's super annoying for me, as my battery is currently full at around 2pm due to sunshine without any cloud, but I still use some power from the grid as soon as the BP is on due to the fact that the app does not know and the other logic in the app eventually reduces the inverter ever so slightly every now and then which leads to the situation, that the hub cannot feed more, therefore reduces what it provides and the app, as it has no clue about BP and does not want to take something from the battery so it reduces the inverter even more.
Any help would be great 😢
What are your BP settings in the Zendure app? Does the BP kick in if you do not control it via sf-control?
@mavo I use the hub2000 in my setup.
Yes @reinhard-brandstaedter, BP kicks in automatically if the battery reaches 100% and I see as @mavo that the switch in HA is turned on for BP.
The setting in the Zendure app for BP is "always on" / "always off" depending if BP kicked in or not.
The pass property is just read like any other property of the hub. I can’t see any reason why it should not be reflected in the logs then. So it would be really helpful to know what the state in MQTT is.
@reinhard-brandstaedter the BP actually kicks in. I kinda assume it's reported differently compared to hub1200. But as I can only access my HA and the logs via ssh but not mqtt I cannot tell the mqtt values. However, in one of the first comments of @floriandrott here you can see that "pass" is reported as 0 always.
@reinhard-brandstaedter how did you first discover the values and properties and how they are reported in mqtt, did you just check what the hub emitted and deducted what is useful?
@reinhard-brandstaedter I can check the MQTT changes. Any specific values on which I should pay attention when the battery reaches 100%? I will then check via MQTT Explorer the next time (hopefully today).
@reinhard-brandstaedter I reached again 100% battery. Hub2000 is in BP mode (but still solarflow-control is reporting BP=false). In MQTT following values have changed:
passMode=1
to passMode=2
packState=1
to packState=0
@floriandrott "packState" is the indicator, if the battery is idle, charging or discharging. So this is not the value we are looking for...
But I don't know enough to say where to look. Good thing, I am back home and can check mqtt values as well :-)
Quick thought @reinhard-brandstaedter, if we do not find how the BP state is transferred in Hub2k when manual mode is used, wouldn't it be an option to use the logic of the passMode as indicator if the BP is on? I mean, as the app controls it, setting the value to the equal of "always on" / "always off" is defining in which state it is. So if you would change the "hub.getBypass()" method to check (pseudo-code incoming)
if hub.productId == "hub2k" and sf-app.BpControl
return passMode == 2
else
return pass = 1
This approach assumes that the pass
property is not set when passMode != 0
. I will try to check, but the forecast is not very great atm, so lets see when I can test it actually.
Maybe @floriandrott can check it as well (setting sf-control to not rule the BP mode but rather use auto and let the hubs firmware decide).
@mavo alright, I will check it as well. I switched off control_bypass
and enabled auto
in the Zendure app for BP. Let's see what happens.
@mavo no change here. The log says
HUB: S:47.6W [ 61.0,61.0,54.5,52.4,49.5,47.6 ], B:100% (100), V:53.6V (53.6), C: 39W, P:False (auto, possible), F:0.0h, E:55.8h, H: 0W, L:600W
I saw also a strange behavior from the hub BP logic. 100% reached and afterwards the battery was discharging and charging which isn't the correct BP behavior. I turned on BP manually.
Thanks for testing.
And in this case, I hope that @reinhard-brandstaedter would be so kind to implement something in the direction that I mentioned 😇
@mavo @floriandrott the problem I see with BP Mode is that it is a intent to switch only. The hubs firware decides when it really performs the switch. Just because bypassmode is 2, still doesn’t mean it is actuslly on. I think the slow switchting/no switching even in auto mode also confirms this.
But what then? Just do nothing? Not really a good option I'd say.
Imo, the PassMode is the best we can do. Currently it's kinda broken. Why do you think it's bad to use the PassMode? What's the difference for the app? The PassMode should indicate where it should (and mostly will be) in a short time...
I honestly doubt that the firmware is differen in this regard. Why should everything work identical, just the pass telemetry is reported in a different way. I’d further investigate this what really is differen on the hub side. Eventually its even a bug on SF side. Plus we haven’t a precise observation from the MQTT publish topic at the time of switching to BP yet.
What kind of recording can I provide? I have no good explanation why it behaves differently for the hub2k, the only thing I can tell is that it does. Maybe it's a bug in the firmware, but there is no update available and only God knows when there will be one.
If you tell me what kind of data I should record, I can try to do, when the conditions are good.
For the meantime I probably will change the code locally to use the passMode property in am effort to not just be stuck while we try to find the proper solution.
All variables reported to MQTT would be interesting. e.g by keeping MQTT explorer open for a few hours and collect the topic tree reported by sf-control. And then a history of the pass topic before and after the expected BP switch.
@reinhard-brandstaedter I have no clue how to store the data in MQTT Explorer so I used a different tool to collect the MQTT topic data. I subscripted for the sf-control data solarflow-hub
and for the raw data from the hub /A8yh63/XXXXXXXX/properties/report
.
Battery reached at 18:25:40 100% and the hub went into BP mode. Attached are two files (one 10min data after the switch and one with +20min data after the switch).
I hope this helps to find out more about the hub behavior. Please let me know if I can provide anything else to troubleshoot.
Thanks, that confirms that the hub2000 doesn't report the bypass state via the pass
topic.
When switched to passMode : 2
it reduces the solarinput down to 0, just like the hub1200 enables BP silently and then turns on solarinput again.
So for hub2000 one can only assume that BP is on if all these conditions are met passMode == 2
& solarInput > 0
& outputPackPower == 0
& outputHomePower > 0
.
What a bummer!
@reinhard-brandstaedter thank you for the changes. I was testing it with the latest DEV build but BP wasn't recognized from sf-control.
The MQTT topic logs are attached here: data3.json
The battery reached 100% and the hub went into BP mode. But sf-control was still reporting BP=false

Any idea why?
The exception I had as well. For me it was thrown when BP should have been disabled as the sun was covered by clouds and it was already passed the sun - offset point.
I guess.the log line reads BP from pass property, but based on the decision path you can see when it was used. The decision path starts with a 0 in case BP mode is determined by SF control.
Because Hub2k does not only NOT report the bypass state properly, but it reports it even wrong, I still pushes pass=0 even though it is in bypass.... passMode = 2 is still just a intent, and eventually at some point the BP is on, but this is somewhat guesswork.
This:
2024-05-23 18:56:56,013:INFO: Turning hub bypass ON
sends the hub the intent to turn bypass on. Then the hub takes a bit to really turn it on, but then sends a pass=0 which sf-control again interprets as BP is off. Finally when sf-control is able to determine by other means that the BP has kicked in, there could be another update to pass=0 which makes sf-control again think it is off.
So the only way to guess the true BP state is to completely ignore pass
and use passMode == 2
& solarInput > 0
& outputPackPower == 0
(hub has solarinput but doesn't charge the battery and has the passmode set - even outputHome seems to be 0 at this time). However this could also be true before the actual switch has happened.
Overall, bypass control on hub2k is not as precise as on hub1200
Try again tomorrow with a new build
@reinhard-brandstaedter with the change to recognize the hub2k's weird BP state, I think the code needs a bit more adjustment.
The logic to leave the BP when time is right and demand is higher than supplied energy does not set the passMode, or at least I don't see how it's done.
This seems to be the reason why @floriandrott and I saw the exception thrown that the limit variable was not set. This is in the decision path 0.1, where it does not set any new limit, but as the following condition if the hub is not in BP anymore is not true for the hub2k, limit is never set therefore python rightfully complains.
 It works for me now, I simply wrote a Homeassistant automation that sets the inverter limit to 100% as soon as the hub has reached 100% and passMode 2 has been published. This is repeated every 2 seconds until two hours before sunset or until passMode 1 is published.
@reinhard-brandstaedter today I was able to test the bypass mode again. Finally turning on BP worked 🥳 Thank you.
sf-control switched to bypass mode ON:

The log message about the HUB
information still says for BP false
but I assume that's correct due to our workaround.
Unfortunately there is an issue for turning bypass OFF
: sf-control turned off BP and then I got the following error:

Due to this error sf-control is sending the maximum possible energy to the house without respecting the real consumption.
Anything what I can do to help?
@reinhard-brandstaedter I updated to the last DEV build.
Here I saw that something is wrong with the detected BP mode by the hub:
2024-05-27 15:04:49,095:INFO: HUB: S:289.3W [ 317.1,317.1,313.2,301.9,293.7,289.3 ], B: 64% (64), V:50.3V (50.3), C: 256W, P:True (manual, possible), F:20.4h, E:222.4h, H: 13W, L:600W
P=True
but this isn't correct. I double-checked the MQTT value and here sf-control is reporting passMode=1
and also the battery is charging.
@reinhard-brandstaedter I'm unsure if you changed something in regards of the UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'limit' where it is not associated with a value
issue in the DEV version from today. Just to let you know that I had this error again this evening.
The BP mode not displayed in the log is more/less just a presentation problem (accessor not used that differentiates between hub2k and hub1.2k, fixed that. The problem with the unbound variable hopefully shouldn't happen anymore, the hub2k special handling led to some kind of race condition with MQTT updates...that's the problem with the non-reliable state of the hub2k.
@reinhard-brandstaedter yesterday I had the issue with the variable again. When the error occurs then somehow sf-control stops working and the battery gets discharged rapidly because the inverter limit stays with 600W (max value due to BP). Somehow the BP gets as well deactivated due to the issue so that the battery is discharging. I had expected if BP on and not enough solarpower is available, then the battery gets not discharged until BP is turned off.
@reinhard-brandstaedter I was looking today a bit more into the error of the variable.
I have the setting configured that sunset is 95 minutes earlier. When sf-control is switching to night mode
then the error occurs.

These messages are coming after update interval of sf-control. I manually restarted sf-control and I got directly the same error after the first update interval. This time I had no rapidly discharge of the battery. The inverter limit was set to 100W and sf-control wasn't changing this anymore. I manually adjusted the inverter limit via OpenDTU and recognized that sf-control is not touching anymore the inverter limit.

UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'limit' where it is not associated with a value
Now I was wondering when the error goes away .... at 20.30 I restarted again manually sf-control and then it was detected that the battery is by 97%.
2024-05-30 20:12:17,000:INFO: HUB: S:10.5W [ 10.5,10.5 ], B: 97% (97), V:49.6V (49.6), C:-143W, P:True (manual, possible), F:0.4h, E:299.6h, H:148W, L:600W
And now the error is gone and sf-control works again. I assume that only when the battery drops at least one percentage (battery < 100%) the error goes away. For the detection of the correct electricalLevel
a restart of sf-control is required.
Anything how I can help more?
The responsible code for that behavior is here:
if hub.getBypass():
path += "0."
# leave bypass after sunset/offset
if (now < (sunrise + sunrise_off) or now > sunset - sunset_off) and hub.control_bypass and demand > hub_solarpower:
hub.allowBypass(False)
hub.setBypass(False)
path += "1."
else:
path += "2."
limit = hub.getInverseMaxPower()
if not hub.getBypass():
if hub_solarpower - demand > MIN_CHARGE_POWER:
path += "1."
if hub_solarpower - MIN_CHARGE_POWER < MAX_DISCHARGE_POWER:
path += "1."
limit = min(demand,MAX_DISCHARGE_POWER)
else:
path += "2."
limit = min(demand,hub_solarpower - MIN_CHARGE_POWER)
if hub_solarpower - demand <= MIN_CHARGE_POWER:
path += "2."
if (now < (sunrise + sunrise_off) or now > sunset - sunset_off):
path += "1."
limit = min(demand,MAX_DISCHARGE_POWER)
else:
path += "2."
#limit = 0 if hub_solarpower - MIN_CHARGE_POWER < 0 and hub.getElectricLevel() < 100 else hub_solarpower - MIN_CHARGE_POWER
limit = 0 if hub_solarpower - MIN_CHARGE_POWER < 0 else hub_solarpower - MIN_CHARGE_POWER
if demand < 0:
limit = 0
However I can't see why limit
would not be set in any of those execution paths. I had this same error when I added the method calls for bypass determination on Hub2k, but with the recent change I haven't had it in the past days. Though with the current weather I only reached bypass twice....
Isn't path 0.1 open to have the limit variable not set, in case the BP switch is not fast enough? In this case, the BP mode is still on when it enters the part of the code (path 0) and realizes it needs to leave BP (path 0.1).
If the BP mode is then not updated before it reaches the 'not hub.getByPass' part it will not set a value onto the limit var, making it undefined.
Or is it me not understanding python again?
The subsequent getBypass() after path 0.1 should now also return false if the hub's state hasn't changed yet (using the internal bypass state of the solarflow class now. However if the hub2000 for some reason will not "accept" the switch we are working on a wrong state ... lets see how this proves in reality.

The paths are... strange... And my system decided at 7am, that BP is on and let full steam deplete the battery O.o
This behavior is new, as I was running a slightly older dev build before yesterday. But as I cannot switch the bp In ha as ha tells me this switch is not available anymore in mqtt, I tried a version update.
I fixed this by removing the changes in your last commit. This seems to be a problem, dunno why, but it is. I had It running the whole day with a small adjustment to not always drain 800w and instead only deliver what it required from the house, but I could see the weird paths all the time. It also mentioned a lot of times "turning BP off" in the logs.
Now, that I reverted to the older version of the BP check line it seems to be back to normal...
Which change exactly?
@reinhard-brandstaedter with the DEV version 4 days ago, it was two days ago working with the bypass switch. Maybe the reason was that solar power was very low this time and then the switch was working?
Today I switched to the latest DEV version and directly I saw that sf-control thinks BP mode is on but it isn't.

Home Assistant integration shows
Based on the MQTT topics it should detect the bypass state:
The MQTT value goes to "2" which means bypass on but as shown in picture one, the solarflow-control is not detecting it.
