wrong and or missing values in HomeAssistant

[schlidda83]

@muppet3000 Hi and Thanks a lot for your work here!

I have a similar issue so reopen this here, hope thats ok?

my inverter: MOD 7000TL3-XH(BP)
Homeassistant with HACS -
Grott stable branch (2.8)
Current version: 0.1.11

Mosquito
MQTT

i have set TL3 in my grott config set until i read this here. so i changed it to MIN as @DMuenster wrote above.
it gave me also over 70 instead 48 entities.

but i cannot change the version in in HACS.

no matter what i select it will choose 1.1.0 in the end.

anyway i guess there it still something wrong?
Pv2 no entries
no export to grid today

can you help? i´m also unable to get the logs :(

It's weird that you have voltage for PV2, that shows that something is working correctly for PV2.
Why don't you have access to the logs?

[schlidda83]

yeah but that happend when using the value "MIN" which is obviously wrong. but it showed me the battery values for example.
at the moment i´m using TL3 which shows correct values but no battery values...

i can access the log now, i wasn´t aare that ihave to enable the abuse mode in the addon.

It's weird that you have voltage for PV2, that shows that something is working correctly for PV2. Why don't you have access to the logs?

Sorry Chris,

where can I find these 2 files in case of a grott add on installation ?

• grott.ini
• grott.log

The only grott.ini I was able to find were empty (in 2 or 3 different diretories, but all empty = 0 byte)

And of cause I can see the log file from the add on page on the 4th tab, but where is the full file stored to get more details.
I had struggled 2 days ago when 1 inverter got missing again after I had repaired the datalogger sticks of 3 other inverters a week before, when I found out that any downtime of grott during daylight can awake the GROWATT CLOUD AGENTS to clean datalogger again, not all, but I guess 1 at a time so that I might have lost those 3 in 2 weeks of several maintenance activities.

I was not aware that a downtime of grott would end in an empty ipadress in the datalogger .

Thanks a lot

This looks like a working grott installation and the issues is the mapping that might be wrong or your batteries sensors missing in case you go back to the genuine MOD or better TL3 setup.

And in such a case I guess this can be fixed by Johan only cause egguy told me that he only puts Johans code into the HA grott addon and is not changing the code. The only case I can think of is the question on which grott version egguys current code is based. He calls it unfortunatelly "2.8.x" and says in the documentation "2.8 stable" without using the exact same figures Johans is using which would mean 2.8.3.

But at least your model is listed in his documentation here

If you do a change of configuration. It is important to save and then restart the add-on.

Specific inverter configuration
If you have multiple inverters, please refer to how to configure them in this documentation: Multiple inverters configuration
But that figure can make a huge difference cause in 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 new inverter models had been released cause I can remember when the MIN has become part of the grott list.

AND THEN THERE IS THIS REMARK
**_In the case you have one of the listed inverter types, you need a special configuration:

SPH
SPH6000, SPH3000...
SPF
SPF5000, SPF3000...
TL3
TL3-X...
MAX
MAX 100-150KTL3-X..._**

But I have no clue what special would mean.

I hope Johan or Etienne = egguy will find the missing piece or what went wrong.

Thanks Wolfgang

i also do not know whats means "special config".

yeah, maybe they can have a chat together :)

as you know, i´ve made a post at Johann to. @muppet3000 post with johann (johanmeijer/grott#587 (comment))

I have written a request in Etiennes GROTT HA ADDON to improve the documentation regarding this topic cause he mentions it and does not explain what it means

BUT I guess that this is from a previous version before he added other inverters so they are now part of the basic grott 2.83 release - even though I am not sure. Anyhow , I guess Etienne and Johan will find out sooner or later what is going on. For me it does not look like an issue of Chris integration here cause the "templates" for the different inverters which are needed for decoding should be part of the GROTT itself cause we can see them in the log without having muppets integration installed.

I'll happily leave this issue open, but it looks like an issue with the upstream Grott application/add-in as you've identified.

Let me know if there's anything further I can do to help in this repo.

Let me know if there's anything further I can do to help in this repo.

Off topic, but I would love to know where these 2 files are stored in case of a grott add on installation ?

• grott.ini
• grott.log

I can not find the grott.ini which is more than 0 bytes long.
And with grott log I mean the log where we can see only any excerpt.

That would be the easiest way to look for missing inverters if the mqtt messages arrived or not. During a full day of maintenance and with 10 HA reboots a day I am loosing 1 - 2 inverters which would mean 1 - 3% considering my 8 inverters, which would mean 1 - 2 out of 80 times. NOW during maintenance it is easy to remember that if 1 inverter is missing I have to reconfigure datalogger settings, but in 6 months without such an incidence it becomes harder.

I have already added a reminder on the HA GROWATT inverter page that in case of missing inverter first step is to edit the datalogger settings IP adress.

Thanks a lot - great work.

That would be something for @egguy to answer, I don't have an add-on style installation myself, so I really don't know how that works or where it lives.
