Solar Experimental Development and Integration with HomeAssistant Part - 1
Convert Growatt batteries to using JKBMS, explain how to install HomeAssistant on Pi for use of Solar Energy, and Some Explanations on How to Automate HA Entities with Octopus Tariff for cheaper energy charging the batteries off-peak.
Explain how to flash ESP32 with EspHome both on HA and from the command line.
Resources:
SSH and Wifi Setup
check Wifi Status
wpa_cli status
Result
Selected interface 'wlan0'
wpa-State=INACTIVE
address=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx #hardware address
uuid=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
interactive mode type
wpa_cli
Create a new network using
add_network
you get a 0
To Set encrypted passphrase (Optional)
wpa_passphrase "Username" "Password"
set_network 0 ssid "Username"
set_network 0 psk "xxxxxxxxx"
Finally to connect to the wifi network type
select_network 0
OR
sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.old
nano /etc/network/interfaces
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid [Username]
wpa-psk [xxxxxxxxxxx]
Type quit to exit
Check
ifconfig wlan0
wpa_cli status
