Same problem again as with the old integration in the beginning. No query data.

[Dakhaasje]

That was solved in the old integration by restarting the query a few times till it worked...
But this integration has no query entity. So my automations on this don't work.

the old entities are deleted, but not from this UI overview. had not enough time.

[Dakhaasje]

just updated HA os, still not working.While everything APS official still working fine.

[HAEdwin]

This isn't an issue, read this: old versus new entities. This is a provision to support multiple ECUs with this integration.

I read the old thread where you described your problems. What does the zigbee signal strength look like for you? It is strange that the cache has to be addressed so often. Zigbee Signal Strength should ideally between -10dBm (best signal) and -25dBm (worst signal).

The query switch has indeed been phased out in the integration because users sometimes forgot that it was automatically turned off. The switch is actually not missed I notice.

It is an option to buy an Action smart plug and connect it to the ECU-B. Then you count the number of times the cache has to be used with an automation and restart the ECU when needed. I would not recommend turning the ECU off at night because you will miss firmware updates. Also any necessary configuration changes or data corrections will not come through.

[Dakhaasje]

I cannot see the signal strength anywhere. however, the zigbee antenna has a clear open air view of the inverters at a distance of 7.3 meters. There is just 80% nitrogen and a little bit of carbon dioxide in between. I cannot imagine there is a problem with that, as all other systems communicate well with the Apsystem. I do not want to reboot a good working device. There never has been a reason to.

[HAEdwin]

When the inverter is online you can find the signal strength in the Diagnostic section.

Ok, there is way too much caching going on. I would like to see the complete debug logging over a period of at least 20 minutes when the integration is in debug mode like this:

When you exit the debug mode, you'll be able to download it and post it in it's original format here if you like. I will then be able to do a thorough analysis of the data.

Thank you for the log. What immediately stands out is the voltage on the inverters (252V) this is high (overvoltage) and can cause the inverter to switch off. Is there a long power cable from the inverters to the meter cupboard by any chance? What is the core diameter of that copper cable?

Add the entities sensor.inverter_703000980023_voltage and sensor.inverter_703000812560_voltage
to your dashboard and see what happens when you notice a failure.

It is always good to look at the graphs of all entities when you experience disruptions. The graph can point you in the right direction of the problem.

Read this topic: https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/2149368 although I wouldn't advise to increase the overvoltage as discussed here: https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/2149368?data%5Bfilter_keywords%5D=260

I can't guarantee it will help, but try a larger diameter power cable so there is less resistance along the length. I assume the grid voltage across the phase(s) is simply 230V?

The net voltage is quite high here as the neighbourhood have a lot of solar panels. My Enphase system reports it also as a warning.

The APsystems installation is not mine; I rent it.(I would have put in Enphase)

Also the net voltage is raised nationwide to support the poorer countries in the EU with lower netvoltages.

In earlier experiences the query failed starting, while still at low voltages.

Ecu communitation with panels working fine all the time : App works, website works.. just HA not showing results.
