All things Sunsynk (Deye, Inge, etc...)

Finally got round to loading this automation this weekend. Needed a few changes for Alex rather than Google Assistant.

Thanks for this. :)

Just thought about it, do you perhaps have one for the 1 hour notification as well? (i.e. 1 hour until LoadShedding like ESP)
I dont have one for 1hr but i do have a 45min one

YAML:
alias: "[Notification] Load shedding (45min warning)"
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: >-
      {{
      timedelta(minutes=(state_attr("sensor.load_shedding_area_tshwane_3_garsfonteinext3",
      "starts_in"))) == timedelta(minutes=45) }}
condition:
  - condition: and
    conditions:
      - condition: time
        after: "06:00:00"
        before: "21:00:00"
        weekday:
          - sat
          - fri
          - thu
          - wed
          - tue
          - mon
          - sun
      - condition: not
        conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: sensor.load_shedding_stage_eskom
            state: Unknown
          - condition: state
            entity_id: sensor.load_shedding_stage_eskom
            state: No Load Shedding
action:
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data:
      volume_level: 0.18
    target:

Seems like you are correct, only disconnects, no reconnects.
I get both. My system is on the Region 1 database.

EDIT: I also have my dongle updates set to every 60s - not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Seems like region 2 has a issue with the reconnect notification from what I can see from researching, decided to use callmebot in HA to notify me on WhatsApp instead of the app until its sorted out.

I used the callmebot before, but now just have the HA mobile app notification, works well.

This was my first option but couldn't figure it out so went with callmebot instead as there was a tutorial available, unless you can push me in the right direction :)

edit: managed to get it working through HA mobile notification after a bit of fiddling :)

So in case anyone is interested, latest beta of Solar Assistant has some automation options for Deye/Sunsynk under Power/Work Mode area.

Now to figure out how it works :/

Want something like checking the SOC and charging it if it's below a certain % if load shedding starts in 2 hours.
 
Had a look at my sunsynk app this morning and my soc has been stuck on 89% for the last 3 days.
Ill shut everything down and restart when I get a chance but I hope something hasnt broken.
 
Anyone have a trustworthy installer in JHB?

Need someone to swap out a blown Growatt at my parents place for a Deye. My installer blue-ticking me as I assume the labour isn’t worth the effort.
 
Possibly these gents may have finally sorted my issue out with my batteries. Bad dips on the batteries plus a few other things, I can see the BMS seems to be working a lot better and I notice less voltage drop overtime but also far more accurate handling. I was getting nearly 10kwh+ for charge on the batteries ( 2 x AM2 ) and they only have a capacity of 5.5kwh each, so 11kwh max. 30% of that is around the 7.5kwh mark which is what I'm getting now for avg daily charge.
