Added my inverter... Now what?

[stefxx]

I did a quick test on 2016 and I am pretty sure that upgrading to dotnet framework 4.7 will fix this. Server 2016 comes with 4.6.2 by default.

Hi, did you managed to upgrade your dotnet framework? Does the plugin works as expected?

Let me know if you need any more help. Thanks!

Apologies for the delay, I've had other priorities lately with everything.. I installed .NET 4.7.2, restarted HS4 and the server itself after clearing the logs, but am still getting this:

I can ping .232 from the server running HS4.. And this is a SetApp inverter, CPU version 4.9.x I think, definitely at least 4.8.x - I can check and verify any settings when I'm home if that would help..

[stefxx]

Still no devices are begin created? Please send me a complete log from plugin startup to at least a minute or two...

Do you still use the other logger as well?

Thanks!

[ee21]

No devices created that I can find anywhere at least... Looking at the logs it's pretty apparent that no data is being obtained from the inverter as regards production.
The HS4 log only showed the plugin initialization, which there were not errors during. Only useful error data appears to be in the log attached.

Side question, what setting corresponds to the SetApp port? Is this the same port used by the ModBus protocol set in SetApp?

[stefxx]

Strange. Do you still have the slave ID set to 126? Can you try to set it to the default (1) just to see if that is the issue?

The SetApp port is just the web interface (default port 80) but this is being actively blocked by SolarEdge on more and more inverters. I might remove that functionality eventually.

[ee21]

I'll try but thought this might help, ptotocol is set to SunSpec, think the default was RS485 or something:
Also, side note, I can't hit my inverter from a web browser so am guessing port 80 is blocked on mine too :/ any way to undo that?

[ee21]

Set protocol to SolarEdge, didn't help. Set Device ID to 1, with protocol still on SolarEdge, and it worked now, HOWEVER, I still don't see any devices created by the plugin :/ I looked high and low, usually new devices can be identified easily as they are not assigned one of my usual rooms/floors but I am not seeing anything new..

What version are you using? This error has already been fixed in the latest 4.0.6.0 release...

[ee21]

4.0.4.2 - I think you had given me a beta to install and test. Removed that and installed the 4.0.6, seems to be working now. Would love to get the SetApp data though.. Any way to unblock SetApp web control?

[stefxx]

Can you access your inverter over your local network with the browser? On port 80?

If not, see here for more details: https://github.com/drobtravels/solar...ocal/issues/24

[ee21]

I can't no, but thank you very much for your help getting the base plugin to connect.
