The component by @StephanJoubert is superior to this & I recommend you use that instead https://github.com/StephanJoubert/home_assistant_solarman
hass-solarman-modbus
Home Assistant custom component for solar inverters that communicate over the solarmanv5 protocol.
Tested using LSW-3 model data logger stick attached to a Sofar inverter. Support for other data loggers / inverters is planned.
Polls the inverter / data logger every minute and updates the sensors accordingly.
Setup
Configure with the IP address and serial number of the inverter / data logger. The port is normally 8899 but some devices may differ. You can retrieve the serial number of the inverter from its web interface.
Acknowlegements
Thanks to jmccrohan for the amazing pysolarmanv5 library.
Thanks to @KodeCR upon whose own solarman data logger codebase this is based.
