Thank you veru much @Eeleco

It seems my HACS is UK, so I replicated the process for others that may be as HACS challenged as I, and has a harder time understanding Dutch (I am Danish, so Dutch is almost readable).

Open HACS, and find the Huawei Solar package:

Click, it, note the version (just for verification) and click the dot menu:

Click “Redownload”:

Enable beta versions, select the new betaversion from the list, and download it:

Now restart Home Assistant.

I can confirm that this fixed my problem.

Thanks again, @Eeleco! And thank you, @wlcrs for creating and maintaing this amazing integration, and doing a fix for this issue so quickly! Amazing work!

I have the same issue, I believe. On 24.3.3 and everything seems to be latest version.

How do I update to the beta version? Is it something I need to do in HACS or? No updates pop up in HA. I have never tried a beta version before.

Thanks

Okay so open HACS, go to Huawei Solar, go here; Screenshot_20240323_085357_Home Assistant

My installation is in Dutch but I guess it will translate to “download again” or something.

After that just enable seeing beta versions and select the beta version (spoiler; it has a ‘b’ in it)
