Sunsynk (DEYE) Hybrid Inverters

Thanks I usually do I was just wanting to verify what would happen should the tank be full and I was producing in excess of 4kw. Its a pain I haven't been home when we have as I'd shut the eddi off and see did the Deye limits kick in.

Finally getting round to fitting the Deye 8kW.

For those using the SDM320 what is the correct cat cable colours going to 5 & 6 on the meter. I see orange & orange white on the youtube clip and blue & blue white mentioned here. Not seeing the correct readings on the inverter with either combination or is there a setting on the inverter side other than selecting Ex_Meter for CT.

For those using Solar Assistant. I have the Pi and RS485 cable connected to the Inverter and I have the Deye inverter and USB selected in the configuration but the green Connect button remains greyed out, any suggestions.

Thanks for the help.

Just one possible port on the Deye labelled BMS and no separate CAN. No battery connected as yet so just inverter connected at the moment just not getting the connect button highlighted.

I'll have a play around with the CAT cable and see if I can get any readings.

On my 8kw Deye its a combined port, I wired it to a dual rj45 socket with the BMS on the CAN port and the RS485 connected to home assistant via a raspberry pi. Basically a DIY version of this https://solar-assistant.io/shop/products/deye_rj45_split

Solar Assistant up and running, change of power supply seems to have cured it so thanks for the input.

I have removed the meter for now and running with the CT.

Thanks, that it how I have it set up alright.

Issue I am having is that the inverter is seeing a load and shows the battery being used, which is what I would expect but the load is too high for what is being used .

What is actually happening, looking at zappi CT, is that the battery power is covering the load and the remainder is being exported, the Inverter is not seeing this export.

Once the battery reaches the level I have set in the time of use table then the Inverter is seeing the correct load being used by the house.

In Zero export to CT

This is currently Deye and Myenergi

If I reverse the CT it pulls from the grid to charge the battery and shows no house load

Yip

I have issues, particularly during poor weather, where the Deye sees export as Zero, but the actual export could be as high as 2kW

The solution was to ground the CT.

I have a Smart WiFi contactor to either ground or unground it. When grounded, I have a maybe 20w import, whereas ungrounded I have a constant 200w export (according to the MyEnergi CT)

I prefer to have the constant export, since my daytime imports are 37c while FIT is 25c

I don't see a setting for DST on my Deye. I have a time sync option enabled, which doesn't appear to work, as I have to correct the time by a few minutes once a month. Does anyone know if the clock will go forward on its own tonight?

I'm on a smart plan, I just created an automation in home assistant to do it and to sync the clock every night in future, as it's losing minutes.

Boards isn't letting me upload a yaml file I can send it to you if you want just dm me an email address. This is what it looks like in HA and it worked perfectly last night.
