[BUG] Plugin stops updateing once a day

[J14111]

Mandatory details

1. Integration Version: 2023.02.6
2. HA Version: 2023.3.1
3. Inverter Brand: Solis
4. Plugin Used: Solis
5. First 6 digits of Serial: Dont have to hand
6. Connection Method: TCP

I have noticed the last 2 or 3 days the plugin seems to stop updating every day sometime between 1-6am it only seems to effect this plugin and a restart of HA resolves it, is anyone else seeing this?

I will check the logs when it happens tomorrow and update

You can see the gap here on the graphs:

This is potentially the same issue as #340

[J14111]

Thanks i will have a look, it stopped about 10am yesterday. I think it started happening after a recent HA update

[alienatedsec]

@J14111 you are using TCP, but how? is that through a data logger? If so, which one do you have?

[J14111]

Im using the USR-W610 RS485/TCP adapter

[alienatedsec]

Despite using Waveshare, I found that the 'Instruction Time Out' had to be extended to around 5088ms (moves every 32)

It will be equivalent to your 'polling time out' settings

[J14111]

Thanks I will give it a go, it has worked fine for the past few months without issue though.

I have checked mine and I acutally have that turned off??

[J14111]

Interestingly turning that on and setting it to 5088 just crashed my HA instance, just restarting now.

[wills106]

@J14111 I would try this for now https://github.com/wills106/homeassistant-solax-modbus/issues/340#issuecomment-1455065380

[J14111]

@J14111 I would try this for now #340 (comment)

Thanks I will test that now.

My HA is really not happy with that modbus polling setting turned on above for some reason.

[J14111]

@wills106 Didnt fix it crashed again today around 7am

[J14111]

Still happening, I have set an automation to restart HA when it stops.

There is a HA update out today so will see if that fixes

[wills106]

The following PR #346 may help? Not had time to implement it yet though.

It might be that the Inverter is sending bad data every so often and the Integration gets stuck.

[J14111]

yeab but odd it only started happening this week

[wills106]

Were you on a really old HA installation before?

Just wondering if you were on an old pyModbus v2.5.3 HA went to pyModbus v3.1.1 for a bit and is now on v3.1.3

I don't know if pyModbus version would alter how it handles bad data?

[J14111]

No I usually update within a day or so of new versions so dobut I was on an old version before, I will keep an eye on it for a day or so and report back

[J14111]

Its been over 24h, two HA updates and no hang so hopefully the issue is resolved, will report back in a few days

[alienatedsec]

did you apply a lower block size? @J14111

[J14111]

did you apply a lower block size? @J14111

Yeah it didnt make any difference

[alienatedsec]

@J14111 What did you do to make it stable then? was it PR #346 ?

[J14111]

I have no idea, my logic was a HA update started it so an HA update would eventually fix and it seems to have done

[wills106]

pyModbus was updated in HA 2023.03.x and I matched the version in this Integration to it. So maybe the change from pyModbus 3.1.1 to 3.1.3 solved the issue?

That PR doesn't actually do anything yet. I need to implement it in the plugin_xyz

[J14111]

Appears this is still an issue, it just stopped updating, i restarted ha manually about an hour ago which makes it even odder as it doesnt seem like its a buffer or something filling up, anything else i can try?

[wills106]

Just released 2023.03.2b2 implementing #346 I have left the blocksize at 48 for now. If you are still getting errors can you manually decrease the blocksize to 40 and let me know the new block configuration. It will look something like:

[J14111]

Thanks i will test and report back

[wills106]

Just wondering if you have been able to confirm if 2023.03.2b2 has fixed the issue or not?

[J14111]

I believe its still an issue, looking at the automation the last restart was 18 hours ago but I cant rememebr if I did that, I also havnt tested taking the block size down so I will keep an eye for another day or so

[wills106]

Ok, well hopefully it won't need a restart over tonight / tomorrow?

[J14111]

Just had a restart so its still happening, I have set the block size down to 40 so will keep an eye on it. There has also been a HA update to 2023.3.4 so I have installed that.

Where can I get the the block config to send you?

[wills106]

If you add:

logger:
  default: info

To your configuration.yaml you will get more logging information.

Could you provide me with the log file with it crashing as it is now (With the above added to your config). Then we can try and work out what it's actually failing on.

[J14111]

Ok will do

[wills106]

Is that with the block_size at 48?

[wills106]

Are you using the release 2023.03.b2 ? That was setup with ignore_readerror = True, to work with a block size of 48 and not 40.

[J14111]

Says its 2023.03.b3 in HACS:

[alienatedsec]

@J14111 you need to amend the line 1689 for block_size from 48 to 40 in plugin_solis.py and restart Home Assistant

https://github.com/wills106/homeassistant-solax-modbus/blob/9211bec4591909020ad5d78fc896dfb5e1b2d036/custom_components/solax_modbus/plugin_solis.py#L1683-L1692

[J14111]

Ah sorry it already is, I must be on B2 because its just prompted me to upgrade to B3

So you want me to upgrade to B3 then set block_size to 40 again or stay on B2 with 40?

[infradom]

One warning about using block_size and ignore_readerror Block_size will create new blocks automatically, without adding an ignore_readerror statement on the first entry of that block (as required for this function to work) So either we create new blocks explicitly with newblock statements (combined with ignore_readerror) or we extend the core system with a auto_ignore_readerror flag in the plugin_instance declaration.

I may not have read this thread with sufficient attention so forgive me if I am off-topic

[wills106]

@J14111 I don't want you to change anything in the Integration. I am trying to establish if https://github.com/wills106/homeassistant-solax-modbus/issues/341#issuecomment-1468161788 was the output of block_size = 40 or 48?

I released 2023.03.b2 / 2023.03.b3 which I believe had ignore_readerror = True, setup for a block_size of 48 but that output from the error log doesn't match what I expected.

[J14111]

Yes that output was with block_size = 40

[wills106]

@J14111 I have just released 2023.03.2b4 with the block_size set to 40 and I have reconfigured ignore_readerror = True, for the block_size = 40

Could you upgrade to that version and confirm in your error log you still have:

It needs to match exactly. Unless something else has changed.

So either we create new blocks explicitly with newblock statements (combined with ignore_readerror) or we extend the core system with a auto_ignore_readerror flag in the plugin_instance declaration.

It will probably be worth automating this, assuming this fixes the issue. Saves having to reconfigure again if we add in more registers.

So your new block groups matches up with how ignore_readerror = True, has been configured.

So we just need to wait an see how it behaves over the next day or two. If it does fail can you provide the full log so we can try and work out what it's failing on?

Of course will do, thanks for your help :)

Still having the issue, I found this in the logs before the restart:

2023-03-17 09:37:14.032 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.solax_modbus] Something went wrong reading from modbus Traceback (most recent call last): File "/config/custom_components/solax_modbus/init.py", line 410, in read_modbus_data res = self.read_modbus_registers_all() File "/config/custom_components/solax_modbus/init.py", line 494, in read_modbus_registers_all res = res and self.read_modbus_block(block, 'holding') File "/config/custom_components/solax_modbus/init.py", line 481, in read_modbus_block firstdescr = block.descriptions[start] # check only first item in block NameError: name 'start' is not defined

NameError: name 'start' is not defined

Oops, should be block.start ...

Thanks, installing now will let you know how it goes

I had another restart yesterday, not as much in the logs that I can see this time:

2023-03-19 22:28:26.131 INFO (MainThread) [custom_components.solax_modbus] read_error : Solis cannot read input registers at device 1 position 0x81e3

and

File "/config/custom_components/solax_modbus/number.py", line 117, in native_value if self._read_scale: return self._hub.data[self._key]self._read_scale TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for : 'NoneType' and 'int'

[infradom]

Ok, I will try to catch that error in a new PR
