Patch version 1.1.4 --- pre-release 8
Only for beta testers and early adopters 😄
What's Changed
- Improved power distribution in combination with solar panels, thanks to Rene
- Improved bypass handling
- Improved solaronly discharge
- Optimize inverter working range
- Added AB2000X model identifier by @tmhrzgr in #857
- Added fan entities for SolarFlow 800 Pro and friendly names by @tmhrzgr in #853
- Fix and add aggr total sensors by @tmhrzgr in #855
- Added gridOffMode translations by @blaubaer in #859
- Fix: Improve exception handling to prevent silent failures by @swissky in #870
- Add support for SuperBase v4600 by @harrymayr in #881
Other pre-releases
- Zendure Manager Power entity, which is the sum of the power of all devices
- #731 and #703 Off Grid setting control
- #719 should be fixed
- #690 should be fixed
- #682 (Fusegroups) should be fixed
- #680 (Available Energy) should be fixed
- #677 (Cloud oder Lokal - Woran erkennt man das wirklich zuverlässig) Added additional information to connection status
- #631 ( LED is not working properly) should be fixed
- #586 (Remaining discharge time) and #516 1.1.0-pre13 funktioniert bei Hyper 2000 die Ladezeit nicht (999) The new SF-devices do not report two times for charging/discharging but only one. In order to make it transparent for all devices, only one (new) entity is added: "remainingTime" The 'old' entities have been removed, so if you use them, they should be updated. The remainingTime is adjusted for socMin/socSet!
- #683 (Battery drained while idle) This appears to be related to the smartmode, when this is enabled the SF2400 drains 14w per battery. For writing zero, the smartmode is now disabled

Power distribution
The testing of different setups, has proven itself quite difficult! Thanks to @harrymayr, who has developed a 'simulator' which can 'replay' generated logfiles, the testing and development has become much easier. This simulator gives great insight into the power of individual devices, solar production and electricLevel etc:
With this smilulator we have tried to implement a distribution which will let the devices work in the optimal range, as is shown in the picture below. Although the numbers are not 'exactly' the same as the inverters of Zendure, the general shape is the same.
Hysteria
There been a few tries, and also a few suggestions to handle hysteria in a better way. Hysteria, in short, is the unwanted switching between charging/discharging and switching between devices. The reason is quite obvious, it will have a negative effect on the lifespan of the batteries and devices. At this moment the Integration uses an average value of the setpoint over the last minute, which should be smaller than -50 watt, before charging starts. As with the power distribution, this probably can be improved or extended in certains scenarios. If you encounter such a situation, please create a logfile, with the MQTT logging turned on, because so we can test that scenario with the simulator as well.
