@ -20,44 +20,14 @@ The inverter was formerly made by PowerOne who got taken over by ABB.
The TCP/IP method of communicating with inverters is supported by the
Python library, but not by this implementation in this integration.
This integration provides a single sensor which reports the live power output
in watts.
This integration creates the inverter as a device with two sensors, reporting live power output in Watts and device temperature.
Note the PV inverter will be unresponsive to communications when in darkness,
so the value 'unknown' will be displayed during the night.
## Configuration
Note the PV inverter will be unresponsive to communications when in darkness,
so the sensors will report 'Unavailable' during the night.
Add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
The RS485 connection can be made using a low-cost USB-RS485 converter. It works using a 2-wire interface but an interface with a separate ground reference may be more reliable.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: aurora_abb_powerone
device: "SERIAL_PORT"
```
{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}
{% configuration %}
device:
description: The serial port your RS485 adapter is connected to.
required: true
type: string
address:
description: The address of the inverter - only need to set this if you have changed your inverter away from the default address of 2.
required: false
type: integer
default: 2
name:
description: Name of the sensor to use in the frontend.
required: false
default: Solar PV
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry for aurora_abb_powerone platform
sensor:
- platform: aurora_abb_powerone
address: 2
device: "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A50285BI-if00-port0"
```
The inverter will need to be on (i.e. in daylight) and connected correctly in order to do the first-time setup. Normally it is sufficient to select the correct serial port and leave the default address `2`.
