# Solarman

> Solarman is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 10.5k installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated May 3, 2026.

Solarman is an integration that connects Home Assistant to Solarman Stick Logger devices on inverters over the local network. It communicates locally with the logger using a chosen transport protocol and a Modbus slave ID, with the port defaulting to 8899. An inverter profile file defines the parameters that are read, and settings cover the number of MPPTs, phases and battery packs, plus lithium-ion battery voltage and expected life cycle rating. It provides binary sensors, buttons, date and time entities, numbers, selects, sensors, switches and times. Daily sensors include battery charge and discharge, energy export and import, generation, load consumption and losses. Home Assistant can discover the device on the network and offer to add it, and setup is done in the UI.

## Supports

- **Works locally**: Talks to your devices on your own network. No vendor cloud in between.
- **Found by itself**: Home Assistant spots it on the network and offers to add it.
- **From the Marketplace**: Installed through the Marketplace, formerly HACS.
- **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months.

## Setting it up

Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services.
