Hi Sebastian,
after checking the Log, I doubt that the heartbeat would do anything different, since the last value of that source sensor is handed over very frequently to the inverter.

I can try to keep the Log output open until it happens, to have a closer look to the Logfile. Is there a certain log level (like Very_Verbose) I should use for that - or any other information I can provide? The manual says wrong wiring / wrong baud rate for troubleshooting, but I would doubt those 2 reasons for this case - since it works most of the time but just sporadically gets to that meter error state.
PS: also running kind of the same config at my Dad´s Inverters. Also 2 pcs. D1 Mini Boards, completely independently wired and connected. Where also sporadically the meter fault shows up and I don´t know exactly what´s causing it. Even though the inverter is recovering from that state usually by itself, it would be of course better to not fall into that meter fault state at all... 😅😁
@Sven177 Do you use discord and can we have a quick chat here? My handle is syssi.
I have a discord account - but how to find you there? 😅
Direct messages -> Add friend -> syssi.
seems I found a syssi - but it seems it is the wrong one. Oh, the "." needs to be there as well?
Long story short: Using hardware UARTs (GPIO1/GPIO3 on an ESP8266 or any GPIO on an ESP32) should resolve the issue.
OK, tried using GPIO1 and GPIO3 on ESP8266, but getting meter fault instantly on that config... 🤔 Am I missing something else? Logger is set to baud_rate 0
Did you swap RX/TX accidently? Did you update the uart
section of your YAML configuration? Does the TX led of the RS485 converter board blink periodically?
Hi,
not mixed up - checked multiple times. No blinking when enabling export control.
yes - here from the Log. Is the internal UART missing some adjustment for the inverter?

Hi,
seems like for whatever reason my bord doesn´t like that Pin 1 and 3 at all, so I was using the SWAP Config, to assign Pins 13 and 15 instead.

It was working on that config so far. Nevertheless, I decided to switch to an ESP32 Board, for controlling 2 Inverters with one of those at the same time, instead of using two separate 8266 boards for that purpose... 😉
Hi Sebastian,
the export control is basically working, and I am using 2x D1 Mini Boards for 2 separate inverters. But sometimes, I get the meter fault error thrown by the inverter and I haven´t yet figured out why. I found, that the source sensor for power consumption (Shelly 3EM) sometimes takes 10-15 seconds to update values regarding power consumption. To get around this, I added an heartbeat filter to the code, to send the source value to the power demand sensor every (tried) 3 or 5 seconds, even if the power consumtion sensor hasn´t been updated in between.
But despite that change, sporadically the meter fault still shows up. Any ideas what would cause this? Could it be related to using 2 Boards at 2 Inverters sharing the same code?
Out in the field currently (work related), will be back on Thursday to provide according logs or increase the Log Level
