Custom component (installable via HACS) for registering sensors associated with Growatt inverters that are being published via Grott. See prerequisites for more information.
NOTE - While it is probably possible to run both this Integration and the growatt_server_api integration at the same time, it is not advised. I recommend disabling the previous integration to avoid clashes.
Before installing the Integration, please ensure you have followed all steps in the prerequisites section i.e. you have a working Grott -> MQTT setup.
This integration can be installed via HACS for Home Assistant
- Install HACS (Follow all the way through to the 'Configuration' page)
- In HACS install this integration:
- Click 'HACS' on the left menu
- Click 'Integrations'
- Click the three dots in the top-right corner
- Click 'Custom repositories'
- In the 'Repository' field enter:
https://github.com/muppet3000/homeassistant-grott - In the 'Category' field select 'Integration'
- Click 'Add'
- Once the repository is added click on
Grott - On the next page select 'Download' in the bottom-right corner
- Choose the latest released version and click 'DOWNLOAD'
- Click the 'HACS' button in the menu and restart Home Assistant when prompted
- Once the plugin is installed via HACS configure it just like a normal Home Assistant Integration i.e. from Settings -> Devices & Settings -> Add Integration -> Search for Grott
or (if you don't want to use HACS)
- Download the latest release to your custom_components folder inside the Home Assistant configuration directory and unpack it
On initial release this plugin works in read-only mode and pulls data from an MQTT server that has been pushed to by Grott (more information/how to configure this here)
The future plan will be to grow this project so that it allows configuration of inverters via Grott also.
