FoxESS Inverter support

[lamixer]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Card can be pretty well adapted to Fox ESS inverters, but room for improvement if you are interested.

Expected behaviour

Issues mainly are the inverter statuses, which can be:

Self Test, Waiting, Checking, On Grid, Off Grid / EPS, Recoverable Fault, Unrecoverable Fault

Also, I have to have Home Assistant convert many power readings from kW to Watts. I wonder if the card could have optional flags to accept input of kW instead of the Watts it expects so external conversion (via HA Template entries) is not necessary.

Possible Solutions

maybe I can help, not sure!

Mode

Both

Context / Reason

FoxESS inverters are popular in South Africa (elsewhere perhaps also) and are becoming more popular in the UK where I am based.

Hi. Happy to add this. What integration are you using? Re the watts/kilowatts if you have any improvements to the code or suggestions I will take a look?

[lamixer]

I'm using this integration: https://github.com/nathanmarlor/foxess_modbus

I'm not much of a coder ... if you tell me what file to browse that would help. My thought on the Watt/kW is that you could have an optional flag to change the card's expectation of the power unit. No flags = current set up (not break compatibility).

For example, inverter_power_175: is expecting watts, but my inverter sensor.foxess_rpower is in kilowatts. So could have flag inverter_power_175_is_kW: true (defaults to false)

Not sure if it would be too messy and people who need to change to watts just have to do as I did and make a template.yaml conversion to feed the card the way it likes things!

[slipx06]

Can you confirm that your sensors have the correct unit of measurement set i.e. kW If so it should be relatively easy to build this check into the code.

Hello slipx06

I didn't manually set any of the units of measure, and they seem to be correct since I am using some of them with other cards and they seem to show correctly. Here's a list of most of the sensors:

Version 4.1.0 will handle automatic conversion of W, kW etc. I've only implemented this for solar but will enable for the other sections soon.

[lamixer]

Oh, great!

Then I guess if it's possible to have an inverter type 'foxess' and with those inverter statuses I listed previously, that would probably do it. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

I would be happy to share my configuration, though I'm not sure it is 100% correct. I could not get essential_power and nonessential_power to show me numbes that seemed correct without specifying them, but that could be due to quirks of my particular set up. You can see the entities that end in _watts are ones I had to convert from kW.

I'd be happy to hear from the expert if something doesn't look right.

[lamixer]

...I actually should have started this request with a big THANK YOU for all the work you are putting into this. It's very useful and is probably the card that I look at most now ... it shows all the key things I want to see in a clear way. I'm also impressed with the rapid development / releases going on right now!

[slipx06]

Thanks for the info. Yes we can add the inverter type foxess and the example card. Is this the correct inverter image

[lamixer]

That's a good image. Mine is just slighly different in the display area but I think that is good to go. I personally think it looks weird to have a real photo in the card so I'll keep the art you have now.

[slipx06]

This is the proposed status mapping

foxess: {
        standby: {states: ['waiting'], color: 'blue', message: localize('common.standby')},
        selftest: {states: ['self test', ], color: 'yellow', message: localize('common.selftest')},
        ongrid: {states: ['on-grid'], color: 'green', message: localize('common.ongrid') },
        offgrid: { states: ['off grid / eps'], color: 'green', message: localize('common.offgrid')},
        fault: {states: ['recoverable fault', 'unrecoverable fault' ], color: 'red', message: localize('common.fault')},
        check: {states: ['checking'], color: 'orange', message: localize('common.check')},
    }

Have you manged to test if the following sensors handle your kW input correctly on the new card version

  pv1_power_186: sensor.sensor_foxess_pv1
  pv2_power_187: sensor.sensor_foxess_pv2
  pv3_power_188: sensor.sensor_foxess_pv3

[lamixer]

I haven't tried it. I just now changed it, the correct original foxess entity name is:

sensor.foxess_pv1_power

There are four of them available, I only use three.

If there's a way I can test the status mapping before you push it I'd be happy to. Otherwise I'll probably be the only person to try it right away so doesn't much matter!

Thank you!

[lamixer]

... will have to wait until the sun comes up to confirm the solar numbers seem correct.

[slipx06]

I'll push 4.2.0 with the updates

https://github.com/slipx06/sunsynk-power-flow-card/releases/tag/v4.2.0

[lamixer]

Not tested the inverter grid status yet, but it loaded up fine and pulled up the picture. Great!

Also, I think I should be using autarky: energy like some of the other examples do, but honestly, I'm not too sure what that number should be for me. If it means 'self-sufficiency' then the lower number would be more accurate than the 100% I was seeing before. Now it's showing 44% but that seems high since I only generated 1.7 kW today.

[slipx06]

Great. I prefer to use power to calculate autarky as it shows the value in real time. However if you set it to energy It is calculated based on the formula below.

        //Autarky in Percent = Home Production / Home Consumption
        //Ratio in Percent = Home Consumption / Home Production
        //let production_e = parseFloat(state_day_pv_energy.state) + parseFloat(state_day_battery_discharge.state);
        //let consumption_e = parseFloat(state_day_load_energy.state) + parseFloat(state_day_battery_charge.state);

[lamixer]

Thanks for that, sorry I see it's in the docs.

[lamixer]

Ah, I get it now. My autarky is 100% because I'm using my battery now, not the grid. Though the battery was filled by using the grid, so maybe not really autarky of 100%. I'll play with it and watch it more to learn what's best for me.

[lamixer]

Just switched off the grid to test. I correctly get the grid down icon!

Note, in my example config I had grid_connected_status_194: none but obviously now I need grid_connected_status_194: sensor.foxess_inverter_state.

I think I should also use:

inverter_status_59: sensor.foxess_inverter_state

since the fault codes (I had assigned to that) don't make much sense and can output more than one at a time. So, please update the example config to use the state for _59.

I'm tired now! Should stop typing! Thank you.

[lamixer]

apologies for not spotting it before... this one is wrong:

ongrid: {states: ['on-grid'], color: 'green', message: localize('common.ongrid') },

shoudl be 'on grid' with a space.

[lamixer]

It's showing actually as 'On Grid' not sure capitalisation counts. When the grid was down that worked though.

Thanks I've fixed the typo. It converts those status messages to lowercase. I'll also update the example.

For the grid connected status it only accepts 0/1/on/off/On-Grid/Off-Grid. You may need to create a template sensor. I'm going to update the logic to also accept on grid and off grid You may get strange results if the sensor you are using provides some other value i.e. checking

[lamixer]

Those strange results should be brief and wouldn't bother me. I don't see any other sensor that shows only grid on / off.

Regarding the W/kW auto-detection on the MPPTs ... works for each individual one, but the sum (auto-calculated by the card I guess) is only showing zero.

[slipx06]

Thanks for confirming. I see what the issue is. Will fix in the next release

Please test https://github.com/slipx06/sunsynk-power-flow-card/releases/tag/v4.2.1

[lamixer]

Looking good. Will test further when I can take the inverter offline. Thanks. On 4 Dec 2023, at 11:51, slipx06 @.***> wrote: Please test https://github.com/slipx06/sunsynk-power-flow-card/releases/tag/v4.2.1

The latest version 4.3 should now work with all your kW sensors

[lamixer]

Sorry for not being available to try that. I did now just update to the latest (4.3.1) and it is all working well, including removing my conversions to watts. To that end, we should update the example config. You could replace the example config with this if you wish:

Great. I'll update the example and close this.
