Looked like I was doing everything right to set up this plug in but I get this recurring error when I restart Homebridge.
Enphase System, Get backbone app data error: Error: self-signed certificate. Reconnect in 15s ......
I'm also a bit confused by not seeing the firmware V7.X.X. It's a newly commissioned system in the US using the latest Controller 3 and 5P batteries. The IQ Gateway shows Firmware: D8.2.62 and the IQ system controller 3 is firmware 3.0.5509_rel/3.11 from the Enlighten App. Is there any reason my system should not work with your plug-in?

Are you enabled support for Firmware 7.x.x in plugin config?

You need to add the accessory itself to the HomeKit app not the bridge only. In readme is all described what is displayed in native HomeKit app.

First of all if you get error please go to plugin settings advanced settings>>system>>debug and enable this option. After this restart plugin and post the whole log here. Please also post your config without credential data.

Thank You! I'm getting the plug-in to work and becoming familiar with the accessories. I do still get the error if I enable the Ensemble Status so I turned that off. I'm thinking that's where the Grid Status switch appears which is really the high order bit in terms of making a decision to start to shed loads. If that's the case I can get the logs there but for now I'm still working through what can be done using Controller for HomeKit. Thanks again - This is probably the most interesting and practical information for automating load shedding when you have a solar/battery system when the utility grid may have issues.

Im happy to hear that is working now. If you can post the debug log with enabled ensemble status then will be very helpful for me to fix potentially existed bug.

Been busy moving in to the new place but got some time to get the debug log when I enable the Ensemble Status and enable Empower Grid State Sensor. Here is the Homebidge and Enphse Plug in log files.

I haven't looked into the Apple Home App of Controller in detail. It looks like I need to re-add the Enphase 80DC accessory in HomeKit as I'm getting No Response - Is that correct that it needs to be removed and re-added when I change the plug in configuration?

I wanted to pass on a couple thoughts and ideas. I see in Controller for HomeKit how to do the automations. My focus is on creating a visual load shedding panel based on some logic on Solar Power and Battery Level in combination with the Grid Status which I'm assuming will be surfaced as a contact sensor from the Envoy detail in Controller.

The other item that would be next high value feature in my mind would be to get information on the nw Enphase IQ EV charger which I have in my system. The first use case for the automation in my mind is just to have a status reminder if the car is not connected in the evening. Perhaps also how much energy the car pulled but the Enphase App has most of the settings to show this information. However it doesn't give me a notification if I forgot to plug the car in!

Thanks for the great work in this area! - If you need anything else let me know.

Please install 7.9.8-beta.7and let me know, im fixed ensemble status and more other cases based on Your debug log.
If you get again some error please post the aktual debug again.

P.S. - After configuration change You don't need add the accessory to the HomeKit again, just restart plugin/child bridge. P.S.1 - Only if you get error during first start after config change the accessory will no response.

Log not available, please upload again.
Your Envoy uses new firmware which contain many new data and some old data are removed. Based on Your logs I can adapt the plugin to the newest firmware.

Looks like the plug-in log has no errors using beta 11 based on the fact I'm not seeing anything in red anymore. Here is the log - When I get home later I'll add it to HomeKit.

The grid mode sensors will not working in 7.11.9 because was error, should working correct in 7.11.10. The grid mode sensors need to be first configured in plugin settings.
If you don’t see the accessory in home app to add it try this: https://github.com/grzegorz914/homebridge-enphase-envoy/wiki#troubleshooting

@CaptainPic if all working without error please post the debug log, I want to check what new properties are in 8.x.x firmware.

Have You Enphase EV Charger in the system installed?

Try to configure sensors as below:

 "enchargeGridModeSensors": [
 {
      "name": "Grid OFF",
      "gridMode": "off-grid",
      "mode": true
 },
{
      "name": "Multimode On Grid",
      "gridMode": "multimode-ongrid",
      "mode": true
    }
  ],
  "solarGridModeSensors": [
    {
      "name": "Off Grid",
      "gridMode": "off-grid",
      "mode": true
    }
  ]

switch device to grid off and after 5 min get the debug log.

nice, as you see your device report multimode-offgrid and multimode-ongrid

"Enchg_grid_mode": "multimode-offgrid",
"Solar_grid_mode": "multimode-offgrid"

I suggest You to create two sensors for encharge and solar like bottom, in this case the sensors will fired if go to grid off or on

"enchargeGridModeSensors": [
{
     "name": "Multimode Grid OFF",
     "gridMode": "multimode-offgrid",
     "mode": true
},
{
     "name": "Multimode Grid On",
     "gridMode": "multimode-ongrid",
     "mode": true
   }
 ],
 "solarGridModeSensors": [
   {
     "name": "Multimode Grid OFF",
     "gridMode": "multimode-offgrid",
     "mode": true
},
{
     "name": "Multimode Grid On",
     "gridMode": "multimode-ongrid",
     "mode": true
   }
 ]

I have published 7.11.11 with some fixes and improvements.
I don’t see your screenshots.
The sensors fired if your installation go to selected mode, for example:
If You create sensor Multimode Grid Off then will be fired if your Installation go to Off Grid.
If You create sensor Multimode Grid On then will be fired if your Installation go to On Grid.

7.11.11 looks good - don't see anything red indicating an error in the logs

Let me see if I can add the screen shots here.

I added two Empower Grid Multimode Grid Sensors for ON and OFF and took the system off grid twice today once when running minimal loads and later with about 8KW of power consumed. Looks like the Power Level Sensor which I set at 4KW is also working fine.

All Three of the sets of Mulitmode Grid Sensors (Empower, Encharge and Solar) show triggered for Grid ON when the system is connected and the Grid OFFs show as not triggered when the grid I on. They all flip appropriately when I take the Enphase system off grid. Seems like about a 30 second to minute delay at most.

Since all 6 of these sensors (3 pairs) have similar state changes, it appears that I can use any of the Multimode sensors to determine if the system is off grid and therefore indicative of a power outage (assuming I'm not manually manipulating it). Is there a reason why I should prefer to use one or the other sensors I set up under the Empower, Encharge or Solar tabs in the UX configuration? I'm thinking the Empower Sensor makes the most sense since the public grid status isn't specific to the batteries (Encharge) or Solar aspects of the Enhpase system. Enphase terminology is a bit confusing here and I don't think they use Encharge anymore to refer to batteries.

I tried to attach the picture of the three sets of grid sensors when grid was on and off

BTW, Did you know you can ask Siri to get the status of the Enphase System with these accessories? Using a Personal Shortcut have her tell you the the correct name instead of calling everything lightbulbs and contact sensors. Controller may help but since I see formatting this into an apple intercom response probably don't need controller to do this.

Im happy that all working fine now.
I have add all possible sensors for Empower, Encharge, Solar, because we can have different configurations of our PV systems and not all have Empower installed.
You can use only one of available sensors to identify the grid state. All sensor will always report same mode.

I see now the screenshots.
If You find any problems please report it as new issue.

Im use Encharge terminology for Battery because is used in the internal api and the old Battery was named AC Battery.

in 7.12.0 beta I have reduced the refresh time for grid mode sensor, it will by more quickly react on changes.

P.S. - the refresh time can be set in ensemble settings in latest beta
