hoymiles-wifi

This Python library enables local communication with Hoymiles DTUs, HMS-XXXXW microinverters, and hybrid inverters using protobuf messages.

For the Home Assistant integration have a look here: https://github.com/suaveolent/ha-hoymiles-wifi

Supported Devices

The library was successfully tested with:

  • Hoymiles HMS-400W-1T
  • Hoymiles HMS-800W-2T
  • Hoymiles HMS-1000W-2T
  • Hoymiles HMS-2000DW-4T
  • Hoymiles DTU-WLite
  • Hoymiles DTU-Pro (S)
  • Hoymiles HAS-5.0LV-EUG1
  • Hoymiles HYS-4.6LV-EUG1

  • Solenso H-1000 (not tested for command, only to get data)
  • Solenso DTU_SLS (not tested for command, only to get data)

Installation

$ pip install hoymiles-wifi

Usage

You can integrate the library into your own project, or simply use it in the command line.
