I liked that one a bunch too. I couldn't get it to work the first time I tried fooling with it. I plan on having another go at it.I've posted it in other threads but I really like the sunsynk card, you don't need a sunsynk inverter to use it and it's pretty neat for a quick glance.

It's had a recent update the card can pretty much be totally configured in UI now even a dunce like me can do it.I liked that one a bunch too. I couldn't get it to work the first time I tried fooling with it. I plan on having another go at it.
It was one of the first ones I played with on the latest setup I did of HA and was in to much of hurry at the time to figure out why it wasn't working.
Do the EG4 chargeverters integrate into HA?Only problem is the automations I have that do exactly what you mentioned are not working right now because I have most of my stuff disconnected for tonight's breaker/wiring upgrade. Had to run out there and manually flip everything over. I have external chargers that kick in for just this situation but they are all unplugged right now. The Kauf plug device in the top left corner triggers it manually but again its all undone for tonight's stuff.
You just need this kit and a Solar Assistant license for the inverter. I'm not sure about the chargeverter.Do the EG4 chargeverters integrate into HA?
I have HA running on HP DL380 gen 9 just no chargeverter yet.
I have SA running on PI 4 and the broker connected to HA.You just need this kit and a Solar Assistant license for the inverter. I'm not sure about the chargeverter.

Personally I'd go down the proxmox virtual machine route that way you can run octoprint and various other containers on the same machine. I'm trying to find a thread I was posting on that had a good breakdown of what's involved maybe @Crowz can remember (he won't be happy about me suggesting running within proxmox but it's definitely the simpler option starting out). once you have proxmox installed on the mini pc this websiteI need to take the HA plunge....
I have this miniPC.I currently use for 3D printing and this SSD I bought last year with the intent of installing Linux / Home Assistant.
Currently using a Pi4B with one of the newer SA betas to monitor 2 SRNE's and 4 JBDs.
I'd really like to get my WonVon shunt talking to HA for SOC and be able to see each cell in the pack. I've also been thinking about buying a Victron smart shunt...
Eventually I'd also like to be able to use HA for secondary control of a voltage based relay controlling a rectifier to charge batteries from the grid. Is that possible?
Where do I start?
Wonder why that is? I've never had any issues using UART devices though all my ssc's and aio's use recommended standard either 232 or 485I also have my off grid system reporting to HA. Was pulling data from the SCC's through uart with esp32 but too electrically noisy for reliable data.
I use alot of pzem voltage meters with CT clamps all work fairly well but the more you add to the UART bus the slower the polling rate has to be set.Settled on CT's to measured output amps.
I went with the idea of designing separate dashboards for phone and computer but spent so long building the phone ones i never got round to doing any on the computer sideAnother esp32 reads data from the 3 battery BMS's. Use multiple smaller pages for viewing on the phone.
That's the one thing I couldn't do without is automating my load dump, we don't have any form of storage heater or anything I could just dump power into so I'm effectively switching on/off fans one by one depending on what the panels are producing in conjunction with our grid consumption. I only have a small 1000w system on the house ATM that primarily works as a ups for my ha server and our fridges/lights so fans are ok to dump but when we install our larger system I have no idea what I'm going to do with excess power.Another advantage is easy control of appliances depending on system status.
I'm very tech savvy but I would never do it your way. I run klipper on all of my printers and use Mobilraker. I walked away from OCtoprint a couple of years ago. The low watt draw of the single board computers with solid state memory is bulletrpoof.Personally I'd go down the proxmox virtual machine route that way you can run octoprint and various other containers on the same machine. I'm trying to find a thread I was posting on that had a good breakdown of what's involved maybe @Crowz can remember (he won't be happy about me suggesting running within proxmox but it's definitely the simpler option starting out). once you have proxmox installed on the mini pc this website
will allow you to install everything quickly just by copy and pasting scripts into the console. Anything else just start a thread and I'm sure myself and others can help with either instructions or YouTube videos.
Hence why you do it a better wayI'm very tech savvy
If you don't need to run 3d print monitoring or have any other needs for the machine installing bare metal is likely the best but if you want to use the system for other things proxmox is probably the easiest to start with or as @Crowz might suggest KVM.I have this miniPC.I currently use for 3D printing and this SSD I bought last year with the intent of installing Linux / Home Assistant.
We all have own definition of a "better way". I'll stick to mine.Hence why you do it a better way
I'd start with proxmox. Its the easiest to get your feet wet with. Then when things get complicated "heavy load" of automations etc move to kvm if need be.I need to take the HA plunge....

The card is just a way to neatly display entity information already available in home assistant.Will the DanteWinters card work for a 6000XP?
Since this a forum designed to help others, why not share your better way instead of just telling other people their wrong like you've done on multiple other threads.We all have own definition of a "better way". I'll stick to mine.
You've jinxed me btw haven't noticed any lag in ha in 7 years, one conversation with you about proxmox lagging and it's been slow as **** for 2 days I'll look into KVM or just run bare metal when I move the servers into the power shed.I'd start with proxmox.

I swear that kvm setup seems bare metal. I haven't given a single thought to tinkering with it when I got it running. I have webmin installed on the real part of the machine but I've never logged into it since I got it going.You've jinxed me btw haven't noticed any lag in ha in 7 years, one conversation with you about proxmox lagging and it's been slow as **** for 2 days I'll look into KVM or just run bare metal when I move the servers into the power shed.
Um, I posted EXACTLY what I am using WITH links to the suppliers. Try scrolling up a few comments... #33. I don't care what others run, I am posting what I run.Since this a forum designed to help others, why not share your better way instead of just telling other people their wrong like you've done on multiple other threads.
I would recommend going with linux. The proxmox downloads will have an image you can get that will install it all for you onto the machine then all of the virtual machines you add will feel windows like thru the web interface. Windows has too many things running the background to work all that well.Thanks @ThaiTaffy and @Crowz .
I used to be quite tech savvy decades ago...
Initially I was planning to use the SSD as a second boot device, I guess it would make a whole lot more sense to use it is a VM insides windows....
