Failed to update: connection error

[Yagu-znal]

Thank you for this integration and your work! Great stuff!

In my log I get this error: Failed to update: connection error and the relevant sensors stay unknown

Fronius firmware:

Datalogger ID: 240.1147052
Software version: 3.16.7-1
Search for Firmware Update
Fronius Solar Net connection: Connected
Solar.web connection: Connected

Fronius integration v0.9.5 HA Config:

  - platform: fronius_inverter
    ip_address: http://192.168.1.25

When I go to the address mentioned in your readme I get a 404 error but both urls mentioned below it do work. http:///GetInverterRealtimeData.cgi?Scope=Device&DeviceId=1&DataCollection=CommonInverterData 404 Not Found

I really need the array voltage and amperage so I do hope to get this working again.

hi, I just installed this awesome integration but I have the same issue.

I installed it using HACS and the log says: 2021-07-16 15:05:51 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.fronius_inverter.sensor] Failed to update: connection error 2021-07-16 15:05:56 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.fronius_inverter.sensor] Failed to update: connection error

@Yagu-znal, the link in the gitHun page is not correct but it is correct in the sensor.py

just try: http://{YOUR_IP_ADDRESS}/solar_api/v1/GetInverterRealtimeData.cgi?Scope=Device&DeviceId=0&DataCollection=CommonInverterData.

@safepay - Riccardo please can you help us out here. Grazie mille

Hi, I found the solution. in the config.yaml file you need to specify the ip address without http:// that was my mistake as well

• platform: fronius_inverter ip_address: 192.168.1.25

and you should be good to go

Thanks for this! this was also my issue as well, I assume the http:// parameter was added to the code since a lot of youtube walk throughs.

I edited line 23 in /config/custom_components/fronius_inverter/sensor.py to _INVERTERRT = 'http://<realfroniusip>/solar_api/v1/GetInverterRealtimeData.cgi?Scope=Device&DeviceId=1&DataCollection=CommonInverterData' I 'hardcoded' the fronius ip in the script itself. It works now.
