Version 2.3.0 fails to connect to inverter #90
Comments
Same here... And exactly same story, even after restoring previous version it seems to report "garbage or failed response" |
Not quite the same... after restoring mine is fine. Perhaps check it has really restored and also try a reboot? |
Ahh, thanks, I tried again... And indeed it did resolve the issue. I think you're right and I needed a full reboot instead of reload. |
Confirmed V2.3.0 wont connect with the server as above. Unfortunately as a newbie I don't know how to revert to a previous version. |
Go to settings -> system -> backups and look for givtcp 2.2.4 and then click restore... Fingers crossed you have previously set your system to backup before any update. |
slip83 Thank you. Doing it now. |
Confirmed, restoring from backup to v2.2.24 and restarting resolves the problem for me. Looks like v2.3.0 is broken - I also have a Gen 1 Inverter (GIV-HY3.6) so not sure if that's relevant to the issue? |
I have Gen 1 Hybrid inverter and haven’t updated anything recently. All
data is missing for today in HA. Have generated 9.5kWh but seeing 0 in HA.
Giv_TCP 2.3.0 ; HA 2023.7.3
Something has definitely stopped working.
Cheers!

Had this issue also. Restored 2.2.4 and all came back online. Confirmed that Setting the old firmware switch resolves this even though I have a hybrid and not AC. Running 451 inverter firmware here. I notice that 2.3.1 has been released overnight addressing the semantics of the configuration text wording so I'm guessing this can be closed now. Great work! |
2.3.1 has completely messed up my HA now. All of the entities are unknown.
Could this go right back to the issue with all entities appended with _2? I
just accepted that issue an updated HA to match this.
Looks like I have some work to do here!!

Make sure you enable "Inverter 1 - Is it on old firmware?" in the configuration, that should get you back up and running. |
I have now corrected the settings but all of the numerical entities are now
being reported as non-numeric so can’t be displayed in charts etc.

If it helps, data stopped coming through at approx 01:30 yesterday morning
(30th July).
Prior to that, all was working correctly.

I had exactly the same issue after 2.3.0 auto-updated. Installing 2.3.2 also made no difference. Following the guidance here I turned off the auto-update and restored from the 2.2.4 backup then did a full reboot of HA. Mysteriously when HA came back it still said it's running GivTCP 2.3.2 and the error persisted. I then tried setting the "old firmware" option on all 3 inverters, restarted GivTCP and hey-presto everything seems to be working again :-) |
Now I've gone the other way, after issues with 2.3.0/1/2 I restored back to 2.2.4 which was working until this morning when I restarted my HA instance and got:
updated to 2.3.2 and still see the same:
Setting Old Firmware makes no difference for me with 2.3.2. In the end I had to restore the 2.2.4 backup from 2 days ago, stop/start the add-in and now it's working again. My Node-Red jobs (running on separate Node-Red instance not under HA) which direct call the Giv_TCP REST endpoints are working fine, so what's changed with the add-on to cause such a massive breakage?? Is it related to the MQTT changes introduced in 2.3?? What's the best way to debug now? |
Any updates on this? I'm also having issues connecting to my Gen 1 inverter with the old firmware option ticked
Updating to 2.3.3 seems to have improved things a bit but I am still getting some errors
|
I think I might be almost OK now - I went back and re-pulled my docker image of 2.3.3, then I updated the 2.2.4 HA add-in to 2.3.3 and seems to be broadly OK now (this is both with and without "Old firmware" set - I believe I'm not on an old firmware (
The regCache clear doesn't seem to make any difference, the key errors persist after that.... |
I increased logging to debug and see the following...
The keyErrors always appear immediately after the Not sure if this helps with identifying the issue? |
OK, so having spent more time trying to debug this from what I can see it's the givenergy_modbus client which throws these keyErrors: dewet22/givenergy-modbus#19 They look therefore like noise....... would it be possible @britkat1980 if they were trapped in the code so they didn't cause the |
Upgraded from Version 2.2.4 to 2.3.0. After upgrade I get many errors like this:
2023-07-30 16:00:30,860 - Inv1 - read - [ERROR ] - Consecutive failure count= 11 -- (<class 'Exception'>, Exception("Garbage or failed inverter Response: ERROR:-(<class 'KeyError'>, KeyError(HR:243), <traceback object at 0x7f804e95c0>)"), <traceback object at 0x7f821f4e80>)
I have restored to 2.2.4 and tried upgrade again. Same problem. Restored again.
(Interestingly, even though in the configuration inverters 2 and 3 are disabled, givtcp goes through a scan on the network for servers. It finds my (only) inverter (a Gen 1 Hybrid) AND my Humax TV box which it interrogates and fails to get inverter info from!
I have noticed that even on 2.2.4 it does this as well - though it doesn't cause any problems and hence seems unrelated to this issue)
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
