Hello,

I did a test, reconnected the defective solar charger to the Cerbo and after another scan HA found it. HA model number 224, Victron ID 278.
Reconnected the new solar charger, HA cannot find a charger.
Disabled the defective and disconnected solar charger in HA, no improvement.

Both solar chargers have the same hardware and software.
built 2022 week 40
built 2022 week 49

Does anyone have an idea where the error is?

Thank you, Heiko

Hello and thank you for opening this issue,

It seems that the new device might use an non-documented unit id.
Thereby, causing this integration to not detect it upon scanning.

Valid unit id's this integrations checks are:

valid_unit_ids = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 
                   11, 12, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 
                   31, 32, 33, 34, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 100, 223, 
                   224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 
                   235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 242, 243, 245, 246, 247
                   ]

Please check under:
Services -> Modbus TCP -> Available Services
to find what the unit id is of the new solarcharger.

Hello und thanks for your help.

The Solarcharge have the VRM Instance 281.
In Hass-Victron it should be 216.

Hello @Heiko00000,

Is either 281 or 216 the id that is visible on this screen:

related to the victron solarcharger?

You can try installing the latest main version by:
Going to hacs
Selecting redownload for the integration.
There you select "main" as the version (since the unit id change hasn't been released yet).

After downloading, restart HA and perform a rescan of all available devices.
This should then yield the new solarcharger as an device.

Hello,
the solarcharger is found and works, thank you.

But I had to enter the number 216 directly in the "const.py" because the call "main" kept getting replaced by 0.1.7.

Greetings Heiko
