I've used the "old" integration since day one, and I have become very addicted to all the nice data it gives me. :-)
I will of course adapt to your new shiny HACS integration and continue to have full control over my Sigenergy plant.
But I have one concern about the old data, do I loose it when I remove the old integration? Is there a way to keep it in the HA database?
I rader not loose six months of recorded data! :-)

That is a good idea if it is doable. I'm looking into it 😄
I've made an isue: #8

[Filialen]

Great, thank you for your effort! I will try to wait patiently for a migration tool! 😄

Maybe, it is a way to rename the new entities with the old names. Then, the old values should remain.
(However, it is would be better to change all old YAML entities which should remain to the new entity names.)

I answered this in the opened issue to track it easier. 😄

I don't know if I've chosen the right sensors here. Please advice!

[fbradyirl]

Can anyone post a screenshot of some of the entity IDs which this new integration creates? I just want to ensure it doesnt conflict with others I have in my HA setup.

[Filialen]

There are a few of the new ones that are the same ID:s as the old ones, but they just get a _2 at the end when installed, and none are conflicting.

Just installed the new HACS Version (in Readonly) in parallel to the old manual modbus version. Seems to work! No errors in the log so far.

Hi and thanks again for this great integration! 👏
I’ve been using the previous (manual YAML-based) version of your integration and so far everything works really well – thanks for that!

Now I’d like to also integrate my Sigen EV AC Charger, but unfortunately I don’t know the correct Device ID for it. (1 and 2 doesnt seem to work 😅)

Just for reference:
My charger (Sigen EVAC 11 46 T2SH WH) is reachable via IP, and it's running the following software version:
VIOOROOlClOB035A

Does anyone of you have a hint regarding the correct ID for the AC charger?
Thanks again for your fantastic work! 🙏

I have the same issue and not able to get the EVAC data.

[fbradyirl]

AC Charger is working for me, but only with latest beta firmware.

• Changing AMPs has no effect.
• ** Sigen AC Charger Total Energy Consumed** is unknown.

What is the beta firmware that you are using? I can't see my EVAC at the moment.

I am absolutely loving this integration, I have come up against a few issues but I have got it working well. I have also taken a cue from @fbradyirl and used the app images to create a nice home page.

Thank you!

[TypQxQ]

Great work @Si-GCG! I'm adding a link in the Readme file too 😄 and hope it's ok with you.

[Si-GCG]

I am having a proper fanboy moment lol!

[Si-GCG]

Still trying to work out the house load data on the house image as it doesn’t accurately reflect just what the house is using it is the total the plant is generating. I might need to do another automation but should be able to figure it out when I have some spare time.

[jasonpstokes]

Thanks @TypQxQ for this amazing integration.

Is there a control to go (simulate) "off grid" like we can in the mySigen app - am I missing it? (I can set a zero export and import tho)

Also, I've enabled plant_total_energy_output_of_oil_fueled_generator which I'm assuming is 'Total Production' for the (petrol) generator input? (Oil must mean something different for you!) Are other generator settings controllable / sensors available via the Modbus please? (Let me know if I can help with any logs/data.)

[TypQxQ]

No, everything exposed by Sigenergy is already implemented.
