Hoymiles for Home Assistant

This Home Assistant custom component utilizes the hoymiles-wifi Python library, allowing seamless integration with Hoymiles HMS microinverters via Hoymiles DTUs and the HMS-XXXXW-2T microinverters.

Disclaimer: This custom component is an independent project and is not affiliated with Hoymiles. It has been developed to provide Home Assistant users with tools for interacting with Hoymiles HMS-XXXXW-2T series micro-inverters featuring integrated WiFi DTU. Any trademarks or product names mentioned are the property of their respective owners.

Supported Devices

The custom component was successfully tested with:

• Hoymiles HMS-800W-2T

• Hoymiles DTU Wlite

Warning

Please refrain from using the current power limitation feature for zero feed-in, as it may lead to damaging the inverter due to excessive writes to the EEPROM.

Installation

1. Open the HACS panel in your Home Assistant frontend.

2. Navigate to the "Integrations" tab.

3. Click the three dots in the top-right corner and select "Custom Repositories."

4. Add a new custom repository:

• URL: https://github.com/suaveolent/ha-hoymiles-wifi

• Category: Integration

5. Click "Add"

6. Click on the Hoymiles integration.

7. Click "DOWNLOAD"

8. Navigate to "Settings" - "Devices & Services"

9. Click "ADD INTEGRATION" and select the Hoymiles integration.

10. Insert IP address of hoymiles DTUBI-xxxx in field Host and click on SUBMIT

Note: Sometimes the necessary lib

(https://github.com/suaveolent/hoymiles-wifi) is not correctly

installed. In this case you need to manually install the library by

running the pip install hoymiles-wifi command yourself.

Option 2: Manual Installation

1. Download the contents of this repository as a ZIP file.

2. Extract the ZIP file.

3. Copy the entire custom_components/hoymiles-wifi directory to your Home Assistant

4. Install the python requirements

5. Restart your Home Assistant instance to apply the changes.

Configuration

Configuration is done in the UI.

1. Host: Enter the IP address or the hostname of your inverter or DTU.

Note: To find the IP address or hostname of your inverter/DTU, you can either access your router’s web interface to view connected devices, or use a network scanning tool (such as Fing or Angry IP Scanner) to identify the device on your local network.

2. Update interval (seconds): This defines how frequently the system will request data from the inverter or DTU. Enter the desired time in seconds.

Note: Setting the update interval below approximately 32 seconds may disable Hoymiles cloud functionality. To ensure proper communication with Hoymiles servers, keep the update interval at or above this threshold.

Caution

Use this custom component responsibly and be aware of potential risks. There are no guarantees provided, and any misuse or incorrect implementation may result in undesirable outcomes. Ensure that your inverter is not compromised during communication.

Known Limitations

Update Frequency: The library may experience limitations in fetching updates, potentially around twice per minute. The inverter firmware may enforce a mandatory wait period of approximately 30 seconds between requests.

Compatibility: While developed for the HMS-800W-2T inverter, compatibility with other inverters from the series is untested at the time of writing. Exercise caution and conduct thorough testing if using with different inverter models.
