Solaredge Homeassistant Modbus integration config

This is effectively a copy of: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/solaredge-modbus-configuration-for-single-inverter-and-battery/464084 with some additions of my own such as tariffs. All credit for the inital work goes to https://community.home-assistant.io/u/remko/summary I've just added to what was done by remko.

WARNING

DO NOT just blindly use this, there are some bits that might need tweaking for your setup. Please See Notes section below for bits I have thought of.. BEWARE the automations CHECK that they do what YOU want them to.

Pre-Req

Additional Installations:

• HACS - https://hacs.xyz/
  • Integrations:
    • https://github.com/WillCodeForCats/solaredge-modbus-multi
  • Frontend Cards:

On HA installation

• Edit Configuration.yaml

homeassistant:
  packages: !include_dir_named packages
  customize:
    sensor.solar_imported_power_kwh:
      device_class: energy
    sensor.solar_exported_power_kwh:
      device_class: energy
    sensor.solar_panel_production_kwh:
      device_class: energy
    sensor.solar_panel_to_house_kwh:
      device_class: energy

    sensor.solar_battery_in_kwh:
      device_class: energy
    sensor.solar_house_consumption_kwh:
      device_class: energy

• Copy the packages dir from this repo to /config on your home assistant installation

Notes

• Check https://github.com/ryanm101/hasolarcfg/blob/master/packages/energy_utilities.yaml as I use Tariffs with some non-standard billing cycles (monthly)
• Check https://github.com/ryanm101/hasolarcfg/blob/master/packages/electricity_tarriff_automations.yaml as you many not want all the tariffs I do, (notably the household_* are old ones i need that I'm deprecating in my own code elsewhere)
• Check https://github.com/ryanm101/hasolarcfg/blob/master/packages/energy_automations.yaml I change the battery during MY offpeak period yours may be different. This ideally should be a sensor for where i have specific times, but that is on the TODO. Also BEWARE I have an automation that Discharges the battery IF I can import cheaper than I export, if so I cycle between charge and discharge. THIS COULD COST YOU MONEY!!!!!!!!!

Helper scripts (NOT Homeassistant scripts)

• tariffSwitchGen.py - This script reads the file containing all the utilities utility_meter: and then it will create yaml for the automation to switch your tariffs python3 ./tariffSwitchGen.py packages/energy_utilities.yaml packages/electricity_tarriff_automations.yaml
