Complete horror. Sensor never got recognized, tried 3.3 volts and 5 volts as stated, multiple data pins but to no avail, eventually shorted the ESP making it very hot blinking a red LED

Thankyou for this video, great tutorial. One thing id like to add is custom temp sensors ive added to my Cerbo(Rpi). I can show these temp sensors in the overview but the value is always unknown. Could you offer any help?

Used this for my Hot Tube temperature measurement with ESP32 and works fine - nice work and presentation :)

Thank you , for info: # Old dallas: - pin: GPIOXX sensor: - platform: dallas address: 0x1234567890abcdef name: "My Sensor" # New one_wire: - platform: gpio pin: GPIOXX sensor: - platform: dallas_temp address: 0x1234567890abcdef name: "My Sensor"

Thank You. I followed your instructions step by step and got it to work. I only wished it would show even more enteties like different readings for L1, L2 and L3.

A lot of config 😞

Great Video!

2:00 It's the other way around. 12V is not part of the USB PowerDelivery spec but some power supplies support it anyway and some devices require it.

i am trippin? You really sound like daly dose of Internet :D. Great Video!! Very easy to follow! Keep up the good work!

hello When the temperature sensor is connected to ESP 32 and I use it with a battery or a good mobile charger or an industrial switching source, the device works without problems, but after switching from a switching source in a place where single-phase and 3-phase electric motors work. They say that sensor information is not received. What do you think I should do?

I‘m looking for a solution that controls the energy flows externally, i.e.: both load current and battery current in/out need to be sent as fixed settings from HA, using automation commands. The reason: I already operate inverters from SMA together with a sunny home manager, which already balances the energy flow to/from the grid. But I need additional battery inverter power, which only can be controlled manually by using certain criteria different from those the SMA sunny home manager uses. Does anybody know if this can be done as I described it above?

Helped me a lot. Very comprehensive, many thanks!

Did a wrecker come with it.

Stay out of the mountains.It is gutless in power.

This is going to be awesome. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey.

Hello, Perfect video. I need to make sensor for my smoker. I am planning to use the Dallas for the smoker temperature but need second sensor which will be meat sensor. Do you know by any chance if there is any I can use with one Dallas the same way you are using 2 Dallas's? The smoker is like 150ft from home. I am afraid it might be too far for this board. What do you think? Would you please have any suggestions? Thank you very much!

Epic!

So cool! Can't wait to see it finished. I will live vicariously through you❤

So much potential! This is going to be an epic project!!❤🎉😊

Thanks for the great video. Is there a limit on how many sensors you can add?

Great stuff, got mine working. Thanks for sharing!

I'd like to be able to toggle my converter switch, is it possible ? Any explanation about it somwhere ?

Use Hacs 2024

Excellent!!! This is fully superb job

What if you have a very long probe cable? I have a 15m cable connected to a wifi temp sensor right now but want to change it to an ESP board to get faster reporting. Do I still need the resister if I have this length cable?? Thanks.

🔥

So this won't work with just a Smartsolar MPPT controller?

Amazing, thank you! Now I can set up some automations to efficiently use any excess power I might have!

Victron has switched to "FlashMQ". Unfortunately, your instructions no longer work.

I managed to integrate Victron VRM into home assistant, but with a small problem: the data is only available when I connect with my VRM application on my phone. As soon as I am no longer connected via my application, the data is no longer updated in home assistant. How to fix this problem ?

This really is a great video. However, This can also be done with the 'HACS' Add-on using the 'Victron GX modbusTCP integration'. It passes through all possible data and is far easier to install and configure.

really, really well explained, thank you so much!

Amazing video - it's so fulfilling to see my Victron data on HA. I struggled a bit and now I will never forget this mosquitto has 2 T'S! 🙂

Thanks! Very helpful, it took me two tries but it is up and running now!

Wow, mind blown 🤯 This is an amazing crash course in MQTT and Victron and Home Assistant. I have all these systems living on islands because I’ve never had any luck with setting up the MQTT broker. This was a high speed crash course that delivers so much information into a highly compressed timeline. Great job.

Great job but I'm block at minute 11:15 when you connect Home Assistant Hurrican. I receved a disconnected server message. What's wrong? Thanks

merci pour ce tuto que j'ai eu du mal a comprendre je me serre de duckdns pour acceder a hom-assistant je n'arrive pas !!!! peut tu m'aider merci

great Video !!! I like to add more entities, start with one grid power I copy all exactly as loads just change values too much my mqtt but can't get them visible in the HA :( # AC Grid - state_topic: "victron/N/my id /system/0/Ac/Grid/L1/Power" name: "AC Grid" unique_id: "ac_grid" device_class: power value_template: '{{ value_json.value }}' unit_of_measurement: "W" icon: mdi:power-socket-uk am I missing some step?

topic W/# out 0 victron/ examples of controls please! ;) thank you for clear and 'end to end' approach! great work. looking forward for 'controls' part 2!

Thank you! Worked without issues!

Hello! At 4:29 it does not bring me straight to that page. Where do you enter the samba credentials that were setup in samba share in home assistant?

Problem here.. I was successful. Up to automation. I see mqtt messages in mqtt eplorer - cerbo. But i dont see it in HA mqtt explorer. Any clue? Id is correct.

Thanks so much, learnt a ton today! Thank so much for all the time you put into this!

How much does the recent Victron implementation of FlashMQ (from Mosquitto) change your approach? thx

You can also add "topic W/# out 0 victron/" to the mqtt config file and it will alow you to change some settings also (write topics). Great video !

If you are runnig Venus OS 3.20 or later you can avoid message flood by publishing '{ "keepalive-options" : ["suppress-republish"] }' on 'victron/R/YOUR-SERIAL-NUMBER/keepalive' using a periodic timer, and to get all topics (like first connection) you can publish to the same 'keepalive' topic but with no message and it will query all topics. Hope this helps :)

Hi, thank you for your vid but I'm stuck at 4:29. I put credentials in samba share but I don't have home assistant poping in network (except my link to home assistant web browser) , what should I do ?

First of all thank you! Your video helped show me how the resistor is soldered between the data and power wires. And I loved the box you used! Going to order one to help make it more presentable. Im using this for the same thing, except I’m monitoring 4x tanks per ESP board and using HomeAssistant to flick a Kasa outlet for my heaters. I’m going to share this with my fellow fish club members, so easy! :D

FANTASTIC I'm gonna build one Any thoughts on getting a Growatt AIO Inverter into Venus OS via RS485/CAN via Modbus/MQTT ? I'M looking WOW I found you Thank You !

Hi thanks for posting this. i wonder whether you had a chance to have cerbo GX integrated with Fibaro HC3. let me know if you did this before
