SAJ Solar Inverter
The saj
integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] will poll a SAJ
This sensor uses the web interface and to use it, you have to be able to connect to the solar inverter from your favorite web browser.
There is a difference between inverters that are connected via an ethernet module and those connected via a Wi-Fi module. The Wi-Fi module requires a username and password for authentication where the ethernet module does not.
Configuration
To enable this integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more], add the following lines to your configuration.yaml
The configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI. [Learn more] file.
