Time parsing not working for Senergy Based inverter?

[goldserve]

I tried to copy the time setting code from Deye as it looks like it uses the same format.

From Deye
- name: "Program 1 Time"
platform: "time"
state_class: measurement
rule: 9
registers: [0x00FA]
range:
min: 0000
max: 2359
icon: mdi:sun-clock

My definition:
- name: "Charge start time 1"
platform: "time"
state_class: measurement
rule: 9
registers: [0x2102]
range:
min: 0000
max: 2359

This is the excerpt from the modbus spec:

The data sent and received seems to be okay. The register 2102 corresponds to the 00 00 in the response below and that is correct. The Hour and Minute should be 00:00.

Hi @goldserve, can you show little bit more of the log?

[goldserve]

Let's try this.

home-assistant_2025-01-27T22-37-42.452Z.log

[goldserve]

Ahh, looks like 4352 = 1100 in hex and 4608 is 1200 in hex. So hex representation is the HH:MM.

[davidrapan]

Add hex: to the entity description.

[goldserve]

Oh great, this is convoluted. I added HEX and the parsing of the below results is 11:00 and 12:00 but it is still really hex. It should really be 17h:00m and 18h:00min

100 - 0x2150 #81 succeeded, response: [0, 1, 0, 0, 4352, 4608,

And then when setting the date and time picker, how does it convert back to the correct decimal number.

[davidrapan]

Okay, instead of hex:, do dec: 0x100.
