Sungrow inverter integration for Home Assistant

Known limitations

• Only tested with SH8.0RT-20
• Works only with internal LAN port (not via WiNet-S etc)
• Early alpha, expect bugs!

Next steps:

• Add more tests
• Add CI/CD
• Add ability to report issues (with data attached)

Installation

This guide assumes you already have HACS installed.

• If you don't have HACS installed, you need to install and configure it first.

• Add custom repository repo in HACS (see HACS documentation for more details)

  • Repository: https://github.com/AlexanderLanin/homeassistant-sungrow
  • Category: Integration

• Download the Integration in HACS

• Restart Home Assistant

• Add the Sungrow integration in the HA Devices and Services menu

• When prompted, enter the IP address or hostname of your inverter.

  You can probably leave everything else at the defaults

Configuration

Go to Configuration -> Integrations -> Sungrow Inverter -> Select your inverter -> Configure
