This release is the first acceptance release for the hass-victron integration.
It includes support for:

  • Discovering victron GX connected devices on setup
  • Rescan option to update list of connected devices
  • Reading all registers of victron energy gx device into sensors and binary_sensors
  • (if write support enabled) Exposing sliders, buttons, switches and selects for writeable registers
  • Configurable update interval
  • Limiting sliders etc based on user system limits (voltage/amperage of DC / AC circuit)
  • Changing from write to read (and vice versa) without having to re-add integration
  • Expose all entities with correct device class, state_class and unit of measurement if applicable
  • Grouping the entities in logical devices (please note that devices that are assigned another role like grid meters will generate a new device name based on that role)

Known limitations

  • This version will only work if the built-in modbus integration is not enabled.

Due to a major version mismatch in the used pymodbus library version.
In december 2022 the maintainer of pymodbus is expected to release 3.1.0 after which the built-in modbus integration will be updated to include 3.1.0 as the version used.
When that occurs the release version of home assistant that contains the 3.1.0 change will become the mimum recommended version for this integration (The ha version is expected to be 2022.12 or 20223.01)

  • The entities exposed won't be marked unavailable on a connection loss

The entities exposed by this integration currently won't update while the connection is lost to the GX device.
This could cause an end user to incorrectly think that the integration is still working correctly.
This behaviour will be addressed in a future release.
