EN2-8m WiFi stick

Hi

Please can I confirm that this setup will work with the EN2-8m stick. I can't find mention of it for use with HA.

@dorianwoolger It looks like any typical 4-pin data logger. I don't see a reason why it would not work. Which inverter do you have?

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I have the RHI-5K-48E-5G. Installed Sep2021.

Those dataloggers work the same way and I guess the naming convention is slightly different nowadays.

Thanks for info this is the info from the datalogger web interface

Its likely to be a DLS-W type. Try Solarman integration https://github.com/StephanJoubert/home_assistant_solarman

It should work without any hardware modifications and report to the Solis Cloud at the same time.

Thanks, that does read all the data fine. Was looking for a solution to control too.

Here you go https://github.com/jmccrohan/ha_pyscript_pysolarmanv5

Thanks again. Will take a look. Will that play nicely alongside standard Solis app or is the solution using the waveshare devices a better way to go?

In your opinion, which will govern the most reliable setup with HA and SolisCloud both working side by side.

Many thanks for your time so far with the advice.

@dorianwoolger I had the same type of datalogger. Not sure if it was 100% faulty but it wasnt performing well when queried with additional to SolisCloud requests. Check my diagram how I used it in the past.

If it works with the Solarman integration and the additional scripts from the repo by @jmccrohan then have a try to save time and money on more hardware and soldering.

Otherwise, my design should work perfectly and SolaX integration does everything out of box.
