Hinen inverter profile

[nathan026]

Is there any documentation on getting started with creating a new inverter profile? I have a Hinen H5000 inverter and have tried all of the current profiles without any luck.

Hi @nathan026, if you don't have modbus rtu protocol from the manufacturer the simplest proly would be to create your custom profile (empty for the start) in inverter_definitions/custom/your_name.yaml (but not sure if there are proper cheks to be able to load it completely empty, though, but you will see)

And then use bult-in services trough Developer Tools > ACTIONS > Solarman Read 0x3 and 0x4 and start probing registers.

But I would try to ask your manufacturer if they are not maybe willing to provide you with documentation on the modbus protocol.

Thanks, I started probing the registers but wow, that would have been a nightmare! I managed to get in contact with them and have the protocol now. I'll see what I can do with it.

Is it better to clone and modify an existing profile or to create a new one from scratch?

I would say it's better to take some of the deye profiles as an example. 😉 And just replace register numbers.
