Status Error: Exception raised 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'

[markbowden]

Describe the bug Following the install videos when I try and run PredBat the status shows as "Status | Error: Exception raised 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'". I make it to the point of looking through the apps.yaml and when I try and access the Prebat Dash via the shortcut on the sidepanel, I see the following error. I've only changed the invertor max rate, and then retried with a clean install, but I see the same result regardless.

Expected behavior This shouldn't happen?

Predbat version v8.4.9

Environment details

• Inverter and battery setup - Solar Edge
• Standard HAOS installer or Docker - Standard HAOS
• Anything else? - Running an RPi5

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. The most useful ones can be your battery chart, the Predbat HTML plan and your current settings in HA.

We will need some more information. Can you post your apps.yaml and full logfile please.

What mode is predbat set to? Try monitor mode to start off with if it's not already set.

Assume you have checked that the inverter software is already working fine?

It looks like "load_today" hasn't been set in apps.yaml

I've attached the files. I'm talking to the invertor / battery using the official SolarEdge integration, and I think that's where the problem lies. I think I need to use the Modbus one linked in the documentation... logfile.txt apps.yaml.txt

Thanks for the reply, I think that's one of the issues.

If I have a SolarEdge setup, do I have to still use GivTCP or should I use the SolarEdge version from here? https://github.com/WillCodeForCats/solaredge-modbus-multi/wiki/Configuration

You use solar edge modbus not GivTCP, you have picked the wrong configuration as its pointing to GivTCP settings rather than the modbus settings
