Voltronic Axpert VM III TWIN 6 kW no data

[eruc]

Hi, I am using esp8266 for communication with the Voltronic Axpert VMIII Twin 6 Kw. I can't get the complete data in ESPhome .. The wiring is done correctly, i tried various yaml codes including: main, 2424mse1, hms-3k-24v, pip8048, and they all have the same result ie no data. I tried with another code but it sends me back to then displayed data. I am wondering if there is a solution for this new model? Thank you.

these are the data obtained in Log

[lucasimons]

@eruc Do you have any updates, did you manage to get it working?

[syssi]

I've improved the protocol test YAML. Could you try it another time and provide a new log? Thanks in advance!

@syssi I am experiencing the same issue on the same model.

Here is my log output when running the above test [17:31:33][I][main:424]: Testing PI30/PI30MAX/PI30REVO/PI41 commands... [17:31:33][I][main:427]: This is the set of commands supported by the pipsolar component!

I just want to add that currently I am monitoring my inverter with a Raspberry Pi. I am using the following settings - qpiri=103 qpiws=40 qmod=5 qpigs=120

Hope this helps :-)

This (and other TWIN models) have longer QPIGS I've made a change that exists, for example, in pip8048 branch that supports it

Use

  - source: github://syssi/esphome-pipsolar@pip8048

It works for my PIP6048MT (which is the same as VM3 TWIN)

It works for my PIP6048MT (which is the same as VM3 TWIN)

It works for me with VM III Twin (24V, 4.2kW). Failed to compile initially, but after change to idf versus arduino and tweaking with version, this solution is finally working.

Hi, I have an Axpert VMIV Twin (48V, 6KW) with what I believe is the same issue of a long QPIGS response. I tried to use the pip8084 branch, but I encountered an error during compilation. I'm using the recommended version of esp-idf. What kind of tweaks did you make to get it working? Which version? Thank you in advance for helping me.

If you are interested in resolution, I think you need to include more info.... at least the error you have received.

Hi, sure! Sorry I'm really a newbie at these kinds of problems. I paste the compiler log, made with the home assistant esphome plugin. logs_esphome-web-57072c_run (1).txt

I'm also posting the ESP32 test protocol log, in case it could be helpful. Thanks. logs_esphome-web-57072c_logs (3).txt
