Releases: ksheumaker/homeassistant-apsystems_ecur
Moving to new git
This is not really a new release but an invitation/announcement that I have continued the development of this integration on my own gits.
Kyle and I tried to transfer ownership of the repository in the past but in the end I thought it would be better to make a fresh start with a new name. The new name suits the compatibility of the different ECU types and fits the variant of this integration, the proxy version.
The possibility to get ECU data into Home Assistant is now split into two integrations:
- https://github.com/HAEdwin/homeassistant-apsystems_ecu_reader (successor of this ECUR integration)
- https://github.com/HAEdwin/homeassistant-apsystems_ecu_proxy
The ECU reader version starts faster and provides more extensive checks for connection problems.
For ECU-R-Pro (2162xxxxxx series) and ECU-C owners, it is still restarted by software if problems occur on the ECU, it is also able to switch individual inverters on/off.
In the latest version, it should now support multiple ECU's.
The proxy version is mainly interesting for ECU-R (2160xxxxxx series) and ECU-B owners because it is super stable in operation.
It also should reflect the data at EMA more precise because the same data is proxied to EMA.
Finally, a big thank you to Kyle (owner of this Git repository) for setting up the first integration back in January 2022!
Since then the ECUR integration community has grown to over 700 users! Hope to see you all at one of the git's mentioned above.

v1.4.3 Two small fixes
- Filter ECU bug #245 where # of inverters and today_energy become 0 incidently when it shouldn't be. Thanx @marcusds
- Replaced deprecated hass.components usage which will stop working in Home Assistant 2024.9
https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/02/27/deprecate-bind-hass-and-hass-components - Added configuration help doc. Thanx @RastaChaum

v1.4.1 Added switch to turn on/off the inverters
This release adds a switch entity called ecu_inverters_online. You can use this switch in your automations. When electricity prices become negative and you have to pay for returning energy to the grid, just turn off the inverters!
- The change takes place immediately but will only be visible at the next ECU update
- You will be able to see the immediate change happening on the (P1) meter if you turn the inverters off
- Read the doc for more info
- Forgot to update the version in the manifest file
This additional feature only works for the ECU-R pro and ECU-C type ECU's, not for the ECU-R starting with ID 2160
Special thanks to @harryboer for finding this feature

v1.3.1
Solved issue ECU bug Lifetime Energy is zero
There were conflicting issues for a longer period of time that have now have been resolved with a simple method.
#126
#113
If the ECU (occasionally) returns a zero for Lifetime Energy, this will be captured and the sensor will not update.
With this the "ECU returned 0 for lifetime energy, this is either a glitch from the ECU or a brand new installed ECU." warning should be resolved.

This is a beta release for testing puposes, if you encounter an issue on this small change, please raise an issue.
v1.3.0 Added option to suspend graphs
When inverters are offline, you now have the option to suspend the graphs. This was already (non optional) implemented for the inverter temperature because the zero temperature in the graph does not reflect the actual outside temperature.
v1.3.0b Added option to suspend graphs
When inverters are offline, you now have the option to suspend the graphs. This was already (non optional) implemented for the inverter temperature because the zero temperature in the graph does not reflect the actual outside temperature.
This is a beta release, there is a chance that it may contain bugs, although I have tested it extensively beforehand.
v1.2.30
Changes
- Revised documentation
- DS3-H id added (thanks to @Emacee)
- Apache license added (thanks to @fligneul)
- Dictionary correction: Inverter data should not be present in ECU (thanks to @fligneul)
- Cleanup code and minor function changes
- Bug on changed settings being omitted corrected
- Added ability to remove a device
If an inverter fails and it is replaced, the old inverter can now be easily removed from the Device info card. The device is removed from the core.device_registry and placed under the "deleted devices" category.
