PIP 2424MSE1 support

[lucasimons]

Hi,
I tried with a 24v inverter from easun which however is identical to the 2424MSE1 of MPP solar looking at the esphome log I see that it sends something but receives nothing I also checked the wiring and I had reversed the red and white cable on the rj45 side, now I believe they are right

[syssi]

Could you make a better photo of the rj45 connector? I want to make sure you have connected the correct pins. Ignore the color of the wires.

[syssi]

@avion23 Is the rs232 converter wired correctly?

[avion23]

I'll check again this weekend and upload photos

[lucasimons]

I use the original cable that came with the inverter and it have only 4 cable

[lucasimons]

I also have this converter but I search on internet how to connect them but I find different connections

[syssi]

You have to connect RX, TX and GND of the RJ45 cable to the Sub-D connector / pins. This circuit could/should help:

At the pin header you've to connect RX, TX, VCC3.3 and GND.

[syssi]

Don't connect the blue wire. In my opinion this is 12V VCC of the inverter. We don't need this voltage. ;-)

[lucasimons]

After checking I think I have connected in the correct way but I am waiting for confirmation because it does not work even now

[rem72]

The blue wire is 12v, don't connect it. 12v can drive a buck converter to power the ESP. Thus no need of external power.
Try this pinout
orange-white -> pin 2
solid orange -> pin 3
solid brown -> pin 5

[lucasimons]

Which converter do you use?

[rem72]

Which converter do you use?

I recently buyed a Voltronic Axpert VMIII 3kw/24v but I'm still having some issues with pipsolar.
I think that is similar to yours.
It communicates but seems that protocol is not good.

[lucasimons]

I also have a 2.4kw 24v easun rebranded voltronic, but looking at the logs I don't get any response from the inverter ... Do you have any signs of life from the inverter?

[syssi]

Did you try the increase the log level of the UART component to VERY_VERBOSE? This would dump every transmitted/received byte to the log. This log would help to debug protocol issues.

[lucasimons]

Yes but i see that the esp send the command but the inverter not responding

[syssi]

Please make sure the TX LED of the RS232 converter module is flashing periodically. If the RX LED is flashing the module isn't wired correctly.

[rem72]

I got it working, but not all values are good. Panel voltage and power are 0v and 0w, as you can see in my screenshot.
Althought it's charging batteries and powering home from PV's.

[lucasimons]

In my converter , the smallest haven't led and the biggest ha a led but seems that not blinking

[lucasimons]

That's great can you send pictures of your converter and connections on the esp? @rem72

[rem72]

One thing to take into account for the small RS232-TTL converter, both wires, from rs232 and ttl should be connected at the same face. This is one of my previous errors.
For the big one, check the gender of the big connector, if it's female, this are the right connections:

If it is male I think you can use the cable instead of soldering.

[rem72]

Now I got it working with a small one.

[lucasimons]

Now I connect the tx of the converter with the tx of wemos d1 mini and I see blinking the led but I don't see any data in the log.... the converter is the same of your converter female

[rem72]

Ah! And I used the hardware serial of the wemos d1 instead of a software one, this can be done if you change the logger uart.
Which pins do you use for comms?

But if you use the hardware uart = uart0 you have to send the logger output to the secondary uart = uart1.
Check these lines:

logger:
hardware_uart: UART1

if i connect the TX of the converter with the RX of wemos i see that write something but doesn t read anythigs,

[syssi]

Good job! Please try to understand what you have changed in detail. So we can improve the configuration example at this repository.

@rem72 We can give it a try to understand and correct the QPIGS readings later the day!

[lucasimons]

I tried to put back the connections tx to tx and rx to rx but now in the log I only see something writing but it doesn't read anything, the right connection should be the inverted one so rx to tx @rem72

[rem72]

@syssi, these are the values for my inverter PV's

(225.8 49.9 225.8 49.9 0609 0565 020 427 27.00 005 100 0035 02.2 259.9 00.00 00000 10010110 00 00 00590 110
(aaa.a bb.b ccc.c dd.d eeee ffff ggg hhh ii.ii jjj kkk llll mm.m nnn.n oo.oo ppppp qqqqqqqq rr ss ttttt uuu

nnn.n = PV Voltage
ttttt = PV input power

But I don't know how to change them

[lucasimons]

Ah but you have the inverter that can mix the grid with the panels because I noticed the voltage of the panels at 259v but I have the version with 40a mppt regulator but maximum voltage 100v anyway it shouldn't change anything because at the time I tried through software watchpower and PC and I had qpigs with the same organization

...

Instead how did you connect the converter to the wemos? @rem72

[ans-gw]

Hi,
I got this error from EspHome Log;Before was all Ok.
I dont understand!?...something has been changed?
Thank you for help.

@ans-gw Please update ESPHome to version >= 2022.9.0 and try again.

[ans-gw]

@syssi
My Esphome in Home assistant was stack to Version 2022.3.0!..
I install new official version 2022.9.4 and now is back Ok.
Thank you very much.

I would like to ask you,if you have time,to post
how can set Solar Charge priority:PCP00,PCP01,PCP02.PCP03?
and how to send other command(change bulk and float voltage,ecc,ecc)??
Other ppl ask about it too.

Thank you again.

Hallo all.

Inverter MPPSolar PIP 2424MSE1

I have a funny problem as you will see from my logs I am able to send information to the inverter but the information that comes back is not correct I'm wondering if anyone can look at my code and the logs to tell me if there's something I'm missing I don't seem to be able to resolve the problem I was trying to get a hold of another rs-232 to TTL adapter today to try and see if that will make things better.

the value shows up in home assistant although all the values adjust zero I'm wondering if I'm missing something in the code or if my ttl module is malfunctioning hope you guys can give me a little bit of a help

my code and as file
PIP 2424MSE1 code.txt

[franciscoasencio]

Good day to all.At first I had some similar issues.I disabled ALL but one ( Battery voltaje ) sensors in esphome.That got it working.After that , I added sensors one by one and am happy now.It is stil a subset off the entire options but I have the infor I need.I am on esp8266 estándar chip.(8 pin)You could try this. Greetings Francisco

[Blackcamper]

@franciscoasencio
Thx for the input. I have try that and it did not work.
I have use another max3232 converter, and it doesn't work.
Do you have any more tips

[jowser7]

@franciscoasencio
Sometimes the esp32 uart pins are used by other features. Mine is a heltec with oled. So I defined software uart 1 on other pins for pipsolar and used uart0 just for debug.
Since you're getting crc ok, I assumed the software knew what came in and just not sending it to its variable because the rx port is being used by your pc.

[Damianb0]

I have EASun ISOLAR-SMH-3K with RJ45 port, nodemcu v3 and RS232 TTL MAX3232. When I connect this together the output log from esphome is like:

The inverter returns some data but not all I think. And why there are timeout command to poll

[ans-gw]

I need help with this Yaml.
Before i use an Esp8266 with 2 button and 1 led to change inverter from Battery to Line with MQTT,
but now I m not able to do anymore;I try to modify Yaml with
switch.inverter_output_source_priority_battery - Inverter output_source_priority_utility but
give me error compile.

How shoul do?
This the old mqtt yaml:

binary_sensor:

• platform: gpio
  pin: D5
  name: "Shower On"
  on_press:
  then:
  - mqtt.publish:
  topic: homeassistant/doccia/doccia on
  payload: "POP01"
  - switch.turn_on: onboard_led
  - logger.log: "DOCCIA ON"

• platform: gpio
  pin: D6
  name: "Shower Off"
  on_press:
  then:
  - mqtt.publish:
  topic: homeassistant/doccia/doccia off
  payload: "POP02"
  - switch.turn_off: onboard_led
  - logger.log: "DOCCIA OFF"

[syssi]

Could you provide the error message?

[ans-gw]

Hi,
this is the error:IDs must only consist of upper/lowercase characters, the underscorecharacter and numbers. The character '.' cannot be used.I think I am making something wrong.
This is yaml:

binary_sensor:

• platform: gpio
  pin: D5
  name: "Shower On"
  on_press:
  then:
  - switch.toggle: switch.inveter_output_source_priority_utility
  - switch.turn_on: green_led
  - logger.log: "DOCCIA ON"

Thanks for quick reply.

[syssi]

Please provide your complete YAML. The snippet doesn't contain the mentioned error IMO.

This is all yaml,and the error.

Thank you

P.S:yestarday jk bms lcd screen is death,stayblack no turn on.

[syssi]

After switch.toggle you have to use an ID and no entity name:

    on_press:
      then:
        - switch.toggle: inveter_output_source_priority_utility

[ans-gw]

i tryed already ,have different error.

[syssi]

Do you use pipsolar on the same ESPHome device or another one?

[ans-gw]

Pipsolar is in onother Esphome device.

[syssi]

You cannot control switches on another node without making the switch entity available. Please check out the homeassistant component if you are using HA. You can use it to import / make available selected entities.

[syssi]

Another idea is to move the automation (switch.toggle of a remote entity) into the HA instance where all entities are available/ easily accessible.

[ans-gw]

mmm,looks no easy...
before Pipsolar I was using Voltronic Homeassistant with Mqtt and I easily menage switch.toggle,
and also can change Battery charge-discharge Voltages,Solaracharge Order (pcp01) and many other commands.
I think i ll use Pipsolar with mqtt,so will be more easy for me.
I ask you,can I send all the command in the protocol using Pipsolar with mqtt?
For me is very important to be able to change inverter parameter when I m not home.

[ans-gw]

Another idea is to move the automation (switch.toggle of a remote entity) into the HA instance where all entities are available/ easily accessible.

can you please make a code example...
thanks you for help

[ans-gw]

Hi,thanks fopr answer,
but I try and give me sensor status unknown!

Did you menage to do in other way?
Need help please.
Thank you

[dyak]

Hi,

I'm truing to build this branch for my setup but I get an error while building. I've tried it via HA and via clean CLI setup but get the same error. Could somebody help, please.

[syssi]

Please add a select entity from the example to your setup. It's required at the moment.

[dyak]

Thanks. It helped. I've somehow missed to use example from that branch.

[albertdb]

I have EASun ISOLAR-SMH-3K

@Damianb0
Hi. Sorry to message you this way but I have trouble finding a SMH owner. Could you please tell me if USB (Utility first) is available as output source priority on this model? Thanks!

[franciscoasencio]

#albertdb Hi . Sorry can not help . I am with Voltronic/Axpert Systems.
Good day for you
Greetings

[jopl]

select

Dear syssi, I am sorry for my question, I am nwebie for HA ... how can I add a "select" entity from the example to my setup, please?
Thx for reply in advance. Regards, Josef.

[jopl]

Hi syssi, in the meanwhile, I solved it ...
addition of "select" entity from example of @2424mse1 to my yaml, i.e.:

select:
  - platform: pipsolar
    pipsolar_id: ${inv_id}
    output_source_priority:
      id: ${inv_id}_output_source_priority_select
      name: ${inv_id}_output_source_priority_select
      optionsmap:
        "Utility first": "POP00"
        "Solar only": "POP01"
        "Solar Battery Utility": "POP02"
      statusmap:
        "0": "Utility first"
        "1": "Solar only"
        "2": "Solar Battery Utility"

  - platform: pipsolar
    pipsolar_id: ${inv_id}
    charging_discharging_control:
      # See MAX_Communication_Protocol_20200526.pdf page 18
      name: "${devicename} charging discharging control"
      optionsmap:
        "111": "PBATCD111"
        "011": "PBATCD011"
        "101": "PBATCD101"
        "110": "PBATCD110"
        "010": "PBATCD010"
        "100": "PBATCD100"
        "001": "PBATCD001"
        "000": "PBATCD000"
      statusmap:
        "111": "111"
        "011": "011"
        "101": "101"
        "110": "110"
        "010": "010"
        "100": "100"
        "001": "001"
        "000": "000"

helped me and now I am able to read data without CRC NOK :-).
${inv_id} & ${devicename} should be appropriately defined (in substitutions:).
Thanks very much for hints.
Regards, Josef.
