Cant connect to Modbus RTU to TCP Bridge (Elfin EW11), SDongle works fine #681
-
Hello everyone, I've been trying to get the integration with an EW11 to work for a few weeks now. Unfortunately, my HA does not get a connection and the integration connection attempt always fails. My system consists of: The SDongle and EW11 are connected to my network via a repeater. Since I can access the dongle but not the EW11, I would rule this out as an error for now. Ping to the EW11 also works from the HA. The connection to the dongle breaks off twice a day and that's exactly why the Wiki advises against this option. That's why I bought the EW11. |

@marvinp93 you can run the sDongle (WiFi or Ethernet to your local network and it allows ONE modbus tcp connection to it) or you can run the Elfin. Either one, not both. IMHO the sDongle is the preferred option, as it can also connect to FusionSolar portal, allowing reporting back to Huawei for their reporting, remote support and (importantly) to allow pushing firmware updates from FusionSolar down to your inverter/sDongle/LUNA ESS/Optimisers/Modbus etc.. |
