Strange values for energy_total about solaredge_modbus HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi Addie,

That's an endianness problem. It should be solved in 0.6.2.

Somewhere along the way batteries were added to the library, which for some reason require a different word order than inverters or kwh meters. Version 0.6.0 and 0.6.1 will display incorrect values for inverter.total_energy.

Please let me know if users are still experiencing this problem even if they have the latest git or pypi release of the module.

Thanks Niels,

I will try to find out which version he is currently using and then ask him to upgrade to 0.6.2.
Will come back with the results as soon as possible, but it may take a few days :-)

Kind regards,

Hi Niels,

Checked with the user; he was already using 0.6.2.
When I created the plugin, your library was at 0.5.0; we will try that version as well, just to make sure.

Same issues with 0.5.0.....

Thanks for all the detective work :)

Are you also experiencing this problem? I see a range of inverters and versions in your thread, each with different results:

SE3500H, mine, no problem, 4.9.30 firmware.
SE7K, yours, no problem, 3.x firmware.
SE5K, frank's, weird total_energy, 4.10.25 firmware.
SE3500, mcmellow's, weird total_energy, 3.x firmware.

Which makes... no sense.

What I also see is that both mcmellow and frank posted the debug output from your plugin. The 0.6.2 release includes c_manufacturer as the first value in the inverter's json object -- like in your debug output -- while theirs still show c_model as the first value. Is there any way they could still be using an older version? Caching by domoticz, or something similar?

Love the statement 'makes no sense'. I have had that feeling from the moment the issue was logged :-)

There are no issues with my setup; I have 2 servers running at this moment; one uses 0.5.0 and the other 0.6.2; both work fine.

Not sure what the status is for mcmellow; I have asked him for an update.
I did ask him at some point to downgrade to 0.5.0; in that case, it makes sense that the c_manufacturer is missing. Let's wait for his response and then ask him to upgrade.

With regards to Frank: I now realize that I was not completely clear in my instructions to him and he may now have 2 versions of your library on his computer. I have asked him to remove the library and install it again and then to restart his computer; just to make sure.

Hi Niels,

Quick update: all problems seem to be solved :-)

The slightly longer version:
Mcmellow responded that he has no issue any more.

Frank had 2 versions of your library on his computer; one of them being 0.6.1 and that one was active.
He deleted all of them and then installed the latest version, which reports the correct value.

So, for now, I think we are done.

Thanks,

Addie
