Support for KSTAR KSG 5K DM

[Unkie-NL]

I would like to use Solarman, but my inverter (KStar KSG 5K DM) isn't supported.
My serial number starts with IO 71653Dxxxxxx. The input field supports only integer.
Solarman is unable to connect to my inverter :-(...

Is this even possible or do I have to look for other alternatives?

Did you try this one?

As far as I know Solarman Stick Loggers with alphanumeric serials are "older" versions and are not (and won't be) supported with any integration which is using pysolarmanv5.

Are you sure that the serial is serial of the stick and not the inverter?

w Solarman Stick

Thanks for your reply and attempt to help me.
Im sure its the serial of the stick and not the inverter. Is it possible to get a new Stick Logger for the KSTAR KSG 5K DM that is compatible with Home Assitant?

Now that I write this question, I realize I have to ask this to KSTAR ;-)

I don't see any reason why that shouldn't be possible, for example: LSW-3. 😉

I thought maybe each vendor has their own protocols. Other words: Does de Wifi data logger understand the language the inverter is speaking.

Yes, some of them do but my integration (this one too) are implemented using solarman protocol. So if you want use our integration you need logger from solarman. And KSTAR is supported.
