GivTCP unable to connect

I have attempted to setup GivTCP with my new install. Its unfortunately not working. Given this was my main reason for deciding on GivEnergy this is a little annoying.

JRascagneres did you enter your inverter IP address correctly in the config, along with all the other bits?

I was also playing with this last night and have exactly the same issue with AIO configuration.
Logs also show no serial no from Inverter.
IP address is correct. LAN connected
I was following the YouTube speak to the Geek vid

On my AIO I could not get GivTCP v2.4.2 to work. I had the same error. I use a standalone Docker version.

After much experimenting I got it to work just fine by including the env variable

- INVERTOR_AC_1=False

It’s an easy fix - certainly worth a try.

Ref - https://github.com/britkat1980/giv_tcp/issues/134

Cdent yup, all correct

PianSom I'm not on an aio and yeah I saw your post and tried it. No dice

JRascagneres
🙁

Does v2.2.4 work for you? If not, what error does it throw?

PianSom Hrm not tried it, guess I could run it outside of home assistant and try to pull an older image

Docker compose this, change the
<HA_MQTT_USER>
<HA_MQTT_PASSWORD>
<YOUR INVERTER IP>
<YOUR DOCKER HOST IP>
to your details
