Fronius Solar.Web Home Assistant integration

Standalone Home Assistant integration using the Fronius Solar.web API. It is intended for use when your Fronius is on a different network to HA, otherwise you are best to use the built-in integration which will have more sensors and a faster refresh rate.

Installation

HACS

HACS is recommended as it provides automated install and will notify you when updates are available.

This assumes you have HACS installed and know how to use it. If you need help with this, go to the HACS project documentation.

Add custom repository in HACS

1. Click on HACS in your menu to open the HACS panel, then click on integrations (https://your.domain/hacs/integrations).
2. Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner.
3. Select "Custom repositories"
4. Add the URL to the repository: https://github.com/drc38/Fronius_solarweb
5. Select the integration category.
6. Click the "ADD" button.

Once done, you should see the new repository, appearing in a list like this. Click the Download button

Manual Installation

1. Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).
2. If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
3. In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called solarweb.
4. Download all the files from the custom_components/solarweb/ directory (folder) in this repository.
5. Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
6. Restart Home Assistant
7. In the HA UI go to "Integrations" click "+" and search for "solarweb"
