Freeds for Home Assistant

This integration aims to create the sensors/switches in home assist in order to retrieve data and control the freeds from home asistant via MQTT.

• Values will be preseted as sensors.
• Commands will be presented as switches.

Requeriments

• A freeds device
• A configured MQTT broker (e.g. Mosquitto Broker)

HACS installation

Manual Installation

Create a directory called freeds in the /custom_components/ directory on your Home Assistant instance. Install this component by copying all files in /custom_components/freeds/ folder from this repo into the new /custom_components/goodwe/ directory you just created.

This is how your custom_components directory should look like:

custom_components
├── freeds
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── freeds.py
│   ├── manifest.json
│   └── sensor.py

Configuration example

To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:

sensor:
  - platform: freeds
    ip_address: 192.168.100.100
    port: 8899
    baseTopic: freeds_d4ae
    username: MQTT_user
    password: MQTT_password    

Be aware that the comunication with your inverter/meter should be preconfigured in freeds previously.

This component will set up the following platforms.

Platform	Description
binary_sensor	Show something True or False.
sensor	Show info from blueprint API.
switch	Switch something True or False.

Riemann Sum integration can be used to convert these instant (W) values into cumulative values (Wh).
Utility Meter can report these values as human readable statistical values.
Template Sensor can be used to separate buy and sell values.

Inverter communication testing

To test whether the inverter properly responds to UDP request, just execute the inverter_test.py script
