Home Assistant successfully installed, with some working knowledge of your way around. A direct connection to your Fox Ess solution via Modbus (preferably this one: https://github /nathanmarlor/foxess_modbus )
Did you know you can actually shut off the inverter over that Smart ESS app, and even loging into the web browser? Bit odd functionality if you ask me. Who really has access to this inverter when that dongle is connected.
Thanks @MrMobodies I felt the same way about using the FoxESS cloud and, even though there is cloud integration for Home Assistant, I didn''t find the Fox cloud itself too reliable. However, I also struggled to get this
This component has been updated to use that Open API. Anyone wanting to use this component in Home Assistant will first need to register their own inverter with the AlphaESS Open API developer portal. Navigate to https://open.alphaess / and chose
My question is, is there any other way I can pull the data from the inverter without using the RS485 connection or the Fox ESS cloud? Looking at the wiki for the modbus addon for Home Assistant, it is telling me that Fox shut off the LAN port on their system.

this is my first post and I just wanted to share a small project with you how I get data from my Solar Inverter from AlphaESS into Home Assistant via MQTT. It is a small Java-Application that polls the cloud service of Home Assistant, so not the best solution but quiet sufficient for my needs so far.
This is a resurrected guide I had attempted to start making with an old home automation platform and NodeRed, and have since brought back with a vengeance to Home Assistant for any of those interested.

This is the most advanced integration, requires a network cable to be installed into the inverters LAN port or can use a USR-W610 RS485 to lan adapter to convert RS485 to a wifi accessible web server which Home Assistant can connect to and poll in near realtime.

Please add SRNE solar inverter for integration to use with the Energy dashboard. They use Smart ESS & Smart client apps to give usage data to clients & the apps were generated by a company name "eybond". Please try to have this integration for easy energy monitoring.
