solaredge-modbus-multi: SolarEdge Inline Meter(s) not detected by integration

Update / TLDR

This is an issue in the firmware of the inverter. It is to be fixed in SW version 4.18.xxx which is expected in “2 months” (from March). So this should be fixed sometime around May.

Original Issue

Before reporting a bug, make sure your configuration is correct, your LAN is working, and you have read about the “Known Issues” in the wiki: https://github.com/WillCodeForCats/solaredge-modbus-multi/wiki

Describe the bug I have an SE8K-RWS48BEN4 inverter with SolarEdge Home Battery 3x 4.6 kWh. Addionally, I have 2 SolarEdge Inline Meters connected through Home Network / Energy Net. The first is the import/export meter and the second is metering 2 non-SolarEdge inverters using “External Production” meter mode.

The 2 SolarEdge Inline Meters aren’t being detected by the integration eventhough “Auto-Detect Meters” is enabled. “Auto-Detect Batteries” does recognize the battery tower. See screenshots below for configuration.

Inverter is connected to the network through Ethernet.

To summarize my setup:

• SE8K-RWS48BEN4
• Home Battery 3x 4.6 kWh 48V
• Energy Net Plug-in through GSM port on SE8K
• Inline Meter: Import/Export wireless through Energy Net
• Inline Meter: External Production wireless through Energy Net

Expected behavior I expect that both the SolarEdge Inline Meters will show up as separate devices like I’ve seen for other users for the Modbus energy meter.
