Integration reports entities as unknown after upgrading HA to version 11.0 or 11.1 or 11.2

[funks81]

I've tried upgrading HA core to version 11.0 / 11.1 / 11.2 and after upgrading the entities are "unknown". On downgrading back to HA core 10.5 everything starts working again. I get the error reading serial number when upgrading HA core - but find this strange as everything seems to run fine whilst running HA core 10.5.

Integration Version: 2023.11.3 HA Version: 2023.11.0 / 11.1 / 11.2 Inverter Brand: Solis Plugin Used: Solax Modbus First 6 digits of Serial: 180102 Connection Method: Modbus via TCP

I have the following errors in my log when running any of the HA core 11.0/11.1/11.2 versions:

When running HA core 10.5 the only thing showing in my log is:

I have just gone from HA 2023.10.x to 2023.11.2 perfectly fine. Once you have moved to 2023.11.2 did you try restarting HA again?

[DKen71]

I am having the same issue. Restarted HA multiple times. Checked I had the latest Solax modbus installed and reloaded. Checked the logger. I don't have a back-up old enough to roll back to HA10.x.

[wills106]

Do you get anymore information in the error log if you add:

logger:
  default: info

to the configuration.yaml file?

When you are on HA 2023.11.2 what version is pyModbus showing? They moved from 3.5.2 to 3.5.4, but my Install has moved over to 3.5.4 correctly.

You can find out by following Point 4 of FAQ

Are either of you using any other Integrations using Modbus?

[funks81]

Yep - did try restarting HA again after the upgrade - will try the logger when I get home - thanks. Sent from my iPhoneOn 13 Nov 2023, at 13:10, wills106 @.***> wrote: I have just gone from HA 2023.10.x to 2023.11.2 perfectly fine. Once you have moved to 2023.11.2 did you try restarting HA again?

I added the additional YAML to the configuration.YAML. Restarted. No additional data provided.

I only use Modbus for the inverter - nothing else.

[wills106]

@DKen71 can you have a look at what version pyModbus is installed. Wonder if it's got corrupt or completely missing?

[DKen71]

@wills106 It is not listed at all. I have just upgraded to 2023.11.2 to see if that solved it, but still missing. Not sure where it went between upgrades.

I've just installed pymodbus 3.5.4 and reloading. Will report back.

[DKen71]

I've installed pymodbus3.5.4 and checked that it has installed. I've deleted /custom_components/solax_modbus and downloaded it again. Restarted HA. No change. I've checked that data is coming from the EW11 unit and that it is connected to the WIFI network.

[wills106]

Have you checked pyModbus is still there after reinstalling the integration and restarting HA?

Just wondering if there is a HA bug causing the python module to get deleted?

[funks81]

So - just upgraded again to latest version HA core - with logger turned on in config

When I first restarted - I briefly got data for the entities - then went to unknown again - have restarted HA for a second time - and currently seem to be getting data - only been up for about 5 minutes - but seems to be working.

Have just manually restarted the integration and now getting "Unavailable" beside entities -but interestingly no errors shown in the logs.

Have tried restarting the EW11 - remains unchanged

After restarting HA for a third time - entities showing as Unavailable - have put the logs for this restart at the bottom of this page

Not sure where I'm looking for pyModbus - couldn't see in HACS or HA?

Getting the following in the logs with logger switched on:

Something very strange happening with my set-up.

I installed pymodbus, then confirmed it is installed. If I restart HA, then it is still there. If I reboot HAOS, then it disappears.

I've done this twice now and I get the same results.

Looks like I may have to rebuild this.

[wills106]

Not sure where I'm looking for pyModbus - couldn't see in HACS or HA?

The instructions are here by following Point 4 of FAQ

If I reboot HAOS, then it disappears.

If you change https://github.com/wills106/homeassistant-solax-modbus/blob/5683b66317f2a880a0c69d58542b9a484dc00129/custom_components/solax_modbus/manifest.json#L11 to

"pymodbus==3.5.4"

does it survive restarts of HA or does it still disappear?

[DKen71]

I've changed requirements. On restart of HA, it retains pymodbus.3.4.5. Restarting HAOS deletes it again.

[funks81]

I'm running HAOS on a VM in Proxmox - pip doesn't seem to be a supported command from the console for HA

[DKen71]

does it survive restarts of HA or does it still disappear?

It doesn't survive the restart of the OS.

However, I have everything back and working now. I rolled back the Core to 2023.10.5 and reinstalled SolaxModbus via HACS to a 2023.10.2. That still was not working. I then upgraded each component in sequence. Core 2023.11.1 and SM 2023.11.1 gave me the functionality back.

I followed on that process and now I am up to date on both components and it is still working.

Having said that, pymodbus 3.4.5 is still not showing when I use pip show pymodbus or pip list.

Not sure what I have done, but there must have been something that broke during an upgrade. I'll report back if anything else crops up.

Thanks for the patience and assistance.

[wills106]

Is anyone still having issues where pyModbus disappears?

If so it might be worth raising an Issue with core or HAOS? I'm closing it down from this end as I am not sure what could cause it and I haven't experienced it.
