Could you elaborate on what type of information you are looking for? I personally use Solar Assistant, which does have the capability of using this, in addition to other inverter specific information.

I don't think anybody here was downplaying your contribution, or claiming your efforts were trivial. Though, I hate to be the one to point out that it seems this is exactly what your are claiming in regards to syssi's "simple serial reading" work, yet still valuable enough to start your repo on...

Could Ethernet work? https://esphome.io/components/ethernet.html

Now this is what open source is all about! Thank you for your contribution! Do you plan to fork the repo in github? Also, it's great you have an isolated DC-DC converter module explicitly listed, fused appropriately on the input. I mentioned this in another post, but as a reminder to those...

I'm sorry, but this is not at all how the open source model works. Open source developers are free to provide as much, or as little contribution to a project as they see fit. Send over a pull request to fix 1 typo? That's fine. Dedicate 8 hours of personal time per day to build entire new...

First, I'd like to echo the same gratitude in regards to uksa007's original contribution(/improvement) as an open source solution. Open source is NOT at all about money, patents, or copyright. It's about contributing to an idea, bringing it to the next level, and sharing how it was done with...

@edgecrusher - sorry been busy, but yes, I found it. Overall code is embarrassingly bad, but here are the main snippets (removed some custom offset code to help with clarity, some vars may be 'missing'). Main loop, keeping registers up to date: #include <ModbusRTU.h> //...

I'll see if I can write up something this weekend, the code is still sitting on my old laptop (and is embarrassingly bad!) Background: Originally needed a solution to control backfeed on a GTIL2 inverter without the use of the original CT clamps. If unfamiliar, the GTIL2 functions in a closed...

Would you happen to know how many amps the Jk-BMS V-BAT port is rated to support? I was considering using this at first, but since I did not have specs, decided to connect my DC-DC directly to the battery instead. I'm pretty sure it would have been fine to power from the port, but my main...

You should be fine with a common reference ground. The key reason for my selection of an isolated converter is mainly what happens in the rare event of oscillator failure. In 'cheap' non-isolated buck converters, an oscillator failure will cause input voltage to pass through the coil, causing...

Multiple routers can be quite limiting, but if it works for you, great! A better way to prevent the inverters, SA (or anything on the wireless network for that matter) from accessing the internet would be: Set up an additional SSID for SA and your inverters Configure new SSID to operate on a...

What URL are you using to access SA? If it is the 'public' one, obviously it will not have any data to relay if the internet is disconnected for whatever reason. Have you tried accessing it via internal IP?

One cycle is typically calculated as a full charge/discharge equaling your battery capacity, not necessarily all at once. For example - charging/discharging 10x between 80-90% == 1 cycle. In regards to degradation, this is a complex subject, as there are numerous variables to consider. Just...

You can, and even easier if you flash ESPHome to it, assuming you're already running the Home Assistant ecosystem. I do this with a similar device. Just be aware - some are able to read voltage state, some cannot. I have not yet done the research to see what this particular device is capable...

Many larger boats/sailboats intentionally *add* weight to the keel in the form of Iron or lead, specifically to improve stability. It would theoretically be possible to have a "lithium keel", which would consume no additional space onboard... Of course, this depends on the type of boat - ideal...
