Troubleshooting

General

Issue Solution
No sensors appearing Check that the integration is enabled in Settings > Devices & Services
Invalid API token Verify tokens at Amber and Teslemetry/Tesla Fleet
TOU sync failing Check Home Assistant logs for detailed error messages

Tesla Powerwall

Issue Solution
No Tesla sites found (Fleet) Ensure the Tesla Fleet integration is loaded and working
No Tesla sites found (Teslemetry) Ensure your Tesla account is linked in Teslemetry

FoxESS

Issue Solution
Cannot connect via TCP Verify IP address — H3 Smart appears as "espressif" on your network
Connection test fails Ensure inverter firmware is up to date; check port 502 is accessible
Model detection failed No registers responded — check network connectivity and slave ID (default: 247)
Wrong model detected You can override the model during setup (H3-Pro vs H3 Smart)

Sigenergy

Issue Solution
Connection refused (Modbus) Modbus TCP Server must be enabled by your installer
Auth fails without Device ID Try leaving Device ID blank first — it's usually not needed. If auth fails, find it via browser dev tools (see Battery System Setup)

Sungrow

Issue Solution
Cannot connect Check IP, port 502, slave ID. Ensure Modbus is enabled on inverter
Modbus conflict Sungrow battery and AC inverter can't use the same slave ID

Octopus Energy

Issue Solution
Prices not loading Verify GSP region code (A-P) matches your Octopus bill
Wrong product Ensure product code matches your actual tariff
Limited price data Octopus publishes next-day prices after 4pm UK time

Smart Optimization

Issue Solution
"Missing forecast data" Ensure price data is configured and Solcast is set up for solar forecasts
Schedule not updating Tap Refresh Now in the mobile app; check logs for errors
scipy not available The greedy fallback still works; try restarting HA to trigger scipy install
Incorrect cost during force mode Expected — force modes use fake tariff rates; costs recalculate when mode ends

Mobile App

Issue Solution
Connection failed Ensure your HA URL is correct and accessible from your phone
Connection timeout Check that your phone can reach HA (same network for local URLs)
Invalid token Generate a new Long-Lived Access Token and try again

Debug Logging

Add to your configuration.yaml:

logger:
  logs:
    custom_components.power_sync: debug

This enables detailed logging for all PowerSync components including optimization, battery control, and price coordination.
