Few qestions about PIP8048 Max about esphome-pipsolar HOT 7 CLOSED

Is it possible to get data on pv2 (Voltage, current, etc.)?

A second PV string is supported by the pip8048 branch. I've pushed the support of long QPIGS responses here too now. Could you try this branch again?

Some entities/sensors are named differently here. This example configuration YAML should help:

https://github.com/syssi/esphome-pipsolar/blob/pip8048/esp8266-example.yaml

And is it possible to get the data of solar energy production for the day that is stored in the inverter?

The retrieval of this property isn't supported yet. I'm aware of voices that claim the values are not very accurate.

Please try to lookup the PBATCD command. See MAX_Communication_Protocol_20200526.pdf page 18.

Everything is fine, thanks again for the detailed answer :)

Seems to work :)
But again there are a few questions:

1. My inverter has a maximum charge current of 150A and a minimum of 10A. can i just change the yaml?
2. I can not understand what the "charging discharging control" parameter is responsible for. I searched for information in the document from the comment, but without success.

1. Yes. The default options are just defaults. You can override these defaults at the YAML. Just search the name of the select entity in the issues of this project. I assume you will find some more hints/examples.
2. I can just provide the issued command so you can try to look it up at the protocol description. Does this help?
