Hi all, First of all, thank you all for this component and all the efforts you make to get all those hardware working with HA. I recently got installed some solar panels, with a battery and inverter KSTAR BluE-S 5000D . The inverter comes with the solarman app, so I naturally got to this repo. Looking at the inverter status page, I can see that it has a serial number 2355xxxxxx, with the firmware version LSW3_15_1216_1.06. However, none of the lookup files seem to work. I have asked the company KSTAR information about its modbus protocol, with no luck yet. Has anyone got this inverter, know anything about it, or know any way of reverse engineer the protocol? Thanks |

I have exactly the same inverter, I spent a couple of hours over the Christmas holidays getting random sets of data from the inverter and trying to match them to known data from the web API, but I didn't get very far. I'll try and email the manufacturers as well, I'll update here if I get a response. |

Hi Francisco and Daire, I also have the same inverter (KSTAR BluE-S 5000D) and the same firmware (LSW3_15_1216_1.06) with the serial number 2352xxxxxx. I installed with the custom_parameters.yaml containing the yaml code Francisco attached. I also added these lines in configuration.yalm
I see 23 entities (unknown) but no devices as if failing to connect |

Thanks Francisco now I see 29 entities while before they were 23, but my problem is first because I don't see the device so it doesn't connect |

Thanks to all in this thread. It has been very instructive in helping to make a start with automation of my PV system. Yesterday, I contacted KStar about getting some documentation on their Modbus registers and today I received it. Hopefully, it will be of additional use. |

I have added the new inverter definition and created a PR in #253 Please, take a look and let's continue the discussion there. We can mark this as the answer and close this discussion, I think |

… Hi all,
I have a Hiconics inverter which is a rebrand of the KSTAR-BluE-S 5000D.
im wondering if any of you kind people can help me get Set up with home
assistant? Primarily I just require this for the remote control element but
I have no idea which port to connect to on the inverter nor what I need to
connect to the port.
I am completely lost.
Please can someone offer me some guidance?
Kind regards,
Derick

Hi Stephan,
Thanks for your email.
I did come across that article some time ago.
TBH I need to know some more of the basic stuff, like what I need to purchase to run the software on and also what cables do I need and where do I connect them etc.
Kind regards,
Derick

Hi, you have to connect via Wi-Fi with the inverter router, no cables
are needed!

… Hi Sergio,
Ok great, so i have installed HASS on a virtual machine on my windows
laptop.
I am now stumped again, I revisited the link you sent me, how do I do the
following? whats a REPO?
Clone or download the repo, and copy the "solarman" folder in
"custom_components" to the "custom_components" folder in home assistant.
