Solaredge configuration with multiple batteries

[jrviz]

I have a Solaredge system with 3 batteries. I have just set up predbat and this is all very new at the moment. I can see in the configuration, which is based on the install template for the Solaredge inverter the entries for battery are: battery_rate_max:

• sensor.solaredge_b1_max_charge_power battery_power:
• sensor.solaredge_b1_dc_power soc_percent:
• sensor.solaredge_b1_state_of_energy soc_max:
• sensor.solaredge_b1_maximum_energy

• This is just one battery. The Solaredge Modbus Multi integration enumerates multiple batteries as b1, b2, b3 identifiers in a set of entities for each battery.

To get predbat to use the correct information I assume that soc_max and soc_percent need to be a sum of each of the relevant entities but for battery_rate_max and battery_power can these simply be summed as I'm not sure how these values are used by predbat for calculations and control? Can multiple batteries be used for the Solaredge configuration?

I think you need to make template sensors to sum these up if its a single inverter with multiple batteries.

For battery power I assume again a template sensor summing them would work.

For battery max rate its just a fixed number so you can type in whatever your maximum charge/discharge rate is.
