Battery Inverter ("Sunny Island") support #5

Scream4Life · 2023-03-03T13:52:22Z

Wouldn‘t this SMA plugin be the greatest of all time (i mean - it is already!) if also the Battery Inverter Status could be extracted?! 😉

In case you need a test user 👋

wimleers · 2023-03-03T15:03:05Z

Agreed! 😄

Sadly I do not have a battery nor an inverter 😅

Is the representation/data aggregation I have created for everything besides a battery making sense to you?
How do you propose to integrate it? (I have thought about it while writing this but would love your unbiased input!)

sweh · 2023-03-03T15:11:41Z

I have a battery here and a Python plugin that's working. Maybe those hardcoded registers can help you as a starting point?

['30057', 'U32', 'RAW', 'serial', ''],
['30201', 'U32', 'ENUM', 'Status',''],
['30051', 'U32', 'ENUM', 'DeviceClass',''],
['30053', 'U32', 'ENUM', 'DeviceID',''],
['30775', 'S32', 'FIX0', 'AC Power', 'W'],
['30517', 'U64', 'FIX3', 'daily yield', 'kWh'],
['30953', 'S32', 'FIX1', 'Device_Temperature', '°C'],
['30849', 'S32', 'FIX1', 'BatteryTemp', '°C'],
['30843', 'S32', 'FIX3', 'BatteryAmp', 'A'],
['30851', 'U32', 'FIX2', 'BatteryVolt', 'V'],
['30845', 'U32', 'FIX0', 'BatteryCharge', '%'],
['30955', 'U32', 'ENUM', 'BatteryState', ''],
['31391', 'U32', 'ENUM', 'BatteryHealth', ''],
['30813', 'S32', 'FIX0', 'AC apparent power', 'VA'],
['30803', 'U32', 'FIX2', 'Grid_Frequency', 'Hz'],
['30513', 'U64', 'FIX3', 'Total_Yield', 'kWh'],
['30521', 'U64', 'FIX0', 'Operating_Time', 's'],
['30525', 'U64', 'FIX0', 'Feed-in_Time', 's']

I think that reads: register, size, datatype, kind, unit. I saw some of that information in your source code, so I suspect that is familiar to you?!

Scream4Life · 2023-03-03T15:13:25Z

I have to spend more time with it in order to get used to the many output properties that are constantly flickering 😉 But in the end I can find nearly the same figures in the SMA portal as well.
I would suggest another row/device for the energy room displaying "Battery status". Properties should definitely be the charge level in percentage. Further the properties Input Watt and Output Watt could indicate whether energy goes in or out and how much.

wimleers · 2023-03-26T11:43:12Z

The investigations in #9 have led me to conclude (see #9 (comment)) that at least in @Scream4Life's setup, the PV inverter does not get advertised, only the battery inverter does.

We also know for a fact that this plugin reads data from it just fine, but of course it's ready the flow of energy to/from the battery, rather than only from the solar panels.

I don't know yet how to discover the PV inverter in his case (see #9 (comment)), but it seems somewhat possible (although still difficult) to add battery inverter support now, despite my not having one.

wimleers · 2023-03-26T11:52:49Z

Using Modbus I can at a minimum verify that we're connected to a solar inverter, thanks to registers:

30051: 8001 = solar inverter, 8007 = battery inverter
30053: a whole range of possible values for the precise models is documented in SMA_Modbus-TI-en-23.xls, perhaps I should only allow the ones listed there? 🤔 So far that has not seemed necessary.

…ction to a solar inverter, not a battery inverter. That will be added in #5.

wimleers · 2023-03-26T13:08:14Z

The device class detection shipped in 1.1.1, which means that at least the problems that @Scream4Life reported in #9 will now not be possible anymore: the plugin simply won't start anymore.

wimleers · 2023-03-26T13:22:11Z

As soon as you update to https://github.com/wimleers/homebridge-sma-home-manager/releases/tag/1.1.1, it will not be possible anymore for this plugin to mistake a battery inverter for a solar inverter: it will refuse to start.

That's a good first step towards to solving this issue at least 😇

Scream4Life · 2023-03-26T14:00:25Z

You expected something like that?

wimleers · 2023-03-26T17:32:22Z

Yep.

If I remember correctly, you used to hack the code to hardcode an IP address for your solar inverter. Is that right?

Scream4Life · 2023-03-26T18:28:27Z

Yes, but do I still need to simply insert this here?

I'm not so familiar with coding that I can overlook everything that's going on here.

Scream4Life · 2023-03-26T18:49:20Z

Probably not. I've inserted it in the _findInverter function now here

An interesting logging outcome shows the correct serial number and a rather old Firmware probably.

The data in my energy room is still garbage with that but I didn't expect something useful here when the "sun is off" 😉

Scream4Life · 2023-03-27T06:34:03Z

Hm, that wasn't the right spot either. There is not data coming in. Where do I need to insert the IP of the inverter now?

wimleers · 2023-03-27T09:20:37Z

Change it to:

_findInverter: function(callback) {
  this.inverterAddress = '192.168.x.y';
  callback();
},

@Scream4Life Any chance you would be willing to grant me remote access to your machine (using your mac's "Screen sharing" service in System Settings) so I can try to figure out some way to automatically discover your PV inverter based on the information in mDNS/DNS-SD, your SMA Home Manager or your battery inverter? There must be some way to figure this out automatically!

@sweh Do you also have the problem that @Scream4Life is seeing, where this plugin since version 1.1.0 is connecting to your battery inverter instead of your PV inverter?

Scream4Life · 2023-03-27T09:34:49Z

We can set up a remote session if you'd like. I write you an email.

Scream4Life · 2023-03-27T09:56:12Z

It does somehow not recognize my inverter as a SMA inverter now. I'm on 1.1.1 with the hardcoded IP you've mentioned above.

No, it's connecting to the PV inverter as expected.

@sweh Thanks for confirming — that confirms my suspicion that @Scream4Life has a pretty atypical setup 😅

Scream4Life · 2023-03-27T15:09:54Z

My pretty atypical setup just received a firmware update for my PV inverter to v3.12.1.R (latest). I also activated something like Webconnect I switched everything to auto-detect but the plugin still gathers my battery inverter instead. I still don't see the inverter with Discovery unter _http._tcp.

This way it is finally was showing production and consumption values again. Sometimes if freezes the value and after some time updates them again, where as the log is this showing values with this "Dropping measurement" message.

Thanks, @sweh & @sbf-!

So, @Scream4Life sees device type 9356 for the battery inverter, 9336 for the solar inverter. According to @sbf-'s https://github.com/SBFspot/SBFspot/blob/master/SBFspot/TagListEN-US.txt that is

9356=SBS3.7-10\0\Sunny Boy Storage 3.7

and

9336=STP 15000TL-30\0\STP 15000TL-30

Now at least I can try to make sense of the ModBus registers documentation and try to find alternative addresses to read 👍 I now have users with similar problems:

here in Battery Inverter ("Sunny Island") support #5, @sweh with 9348 — but that seems a hybrid inverter too, not a battery inverter?
here in Battery Inverter ("Sunny Island") support #5, @Scream4Life with 9356 for a battery inverter
over in Support for hybrid inverters such as the Sunny Tripower Smart Energy #13, @andrejditz with a Sunny Tripower too … potentially the same one — awaiting his response at Support for hybrid inverters such as the Sunny Tripower Smart Energy #13 (comment). If it's the same, I'll merge that issue with this one.

Not sure what a hybrid inverter is, but "Tri-Power" means that it can handle up to three solar fields (east, south and west). My battery inverter seems to be hidden from this plugin, there is no log entry for it:

but "Tri-Power" means that it can handle up to three solar fields

No, "Tri-Power" stands for "three phase inverter"

The 3 "solar fields" refer to the MPP inputs: 2 on MPP input A and 1 on MPP input B
Number of independent MPP inputs / strings per MPP input 2 / A:2; B:1

See Datasheet

sorry to correct you: Tri-Power are SMA devices with 3-phase AC output. Usually those with higher nameplate power...
