Fronius for Home Assistant (built-in integration)

About

Fronius is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to Fronius solar inverters over the local network. It adds sensors for readings such as AC and DC current, per-phase current, daily energy, grid import and export tariffs, and battery capacity. Binary sensors report backup mode and battery standby. Number controls and switches let Home Assistant set limits on AC power, battery charging and battery discharging, and set a minimum battery reserve, with a switch for grid charging of the battery. An option can make the inverter drop the AC power limit and return to its own settings if Home Assistant stops sending it, while battery setpoints are not affected. The device can be discovered on the network and is set up in the UI, and new devices appear without repeating setup.

Setting it up

Home Assistant usually finds it on the network and offers to add it. It can also be added by hand under Settings, Devices and services.

Connect

Revert the AC power limit if Home Assistant stopsThe inverter drops the AC power limit an hour after it last received it, and returns to its own settings. Home Assistant sends the limit again every 15 minutes, so this only takes effect once it stops sending - because Home Assistant is down, or because the integration was removed. Battery setpoints are not affected - the inverter supports no timeout for them.
HostThe IP address or hostname of your Fronius device.
Modbus portPort of the device's Modbus TCP interface. Only used when Modbus is enabled on the device's web interface.
