Installation

  1. Install Deye solar inverter MQTT bridge

  2. Extend the Deye solar inverter MQTT bridge configuration file config.env as described in this example:

    # Home Assistant Integration
    # ==========================
    PLUGINS_ENABLED=deye_plugin_ha_discovery
    DEYE_HA_PLUGIN_HA_MQTT_PREFIX=homeassistant
    DEYE_HA_PLUGIN_INVERTER_MANUFACTURER=<your manufacturer>
    DEYE_HA_PLUGIN_INVERTER_MODEL=<your inverter>
    # Topics not published to HA
    # Use : as separator, supports Unix shell-style wildcards *, ?, [seq] and
    # [!seq] as implemented with Python fnmatch,
    DEYE_HA_PLUGIN_IGNORE_TOPIC_PATTERNS=settings/active_power_regulation:uptime:*/pv[234]/*
  3. Install the plugin from plugins directory as described in "How to start the docker container with custom plugins"

  4. Switch to the Home Assistant and install Utility Meter

  5. Configure a Utility Meter helper to reset the daily production counter at midnight.

    # Example configuration.yaml entry
    utility_meter:
      energy:
        name: "Production total (daily reset)"
        source: sensor.deye_inverter_mqtt_production_total
        cycle: daily

    or graphically

Requirements

Troubleshooting

  1. Check log of the deye-mqtt container for errors.

    docker logs deye-mqtt

    On demand increase the detail of the logging in config.env to LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG and restart the container.

  2. Checking the content published in the MQTT broker. You can use a graphical tool such as the MQTT Explorer for this.
