Home Assistant Add-on Configuration

Each add-on in Home Assistant has a Configuration page to configure it. This configuration is devided into two blocks Options and Network.

In the Network block, you can change the TCP ports on which the Proxy waits for incoming device connections.

The Options block is used to configure the proxy. You can switch between a UI version and a YAML configuration (-> three dots in the top right-hand corner). The configuration for inverters or battery devices is also displayed as a YAML text field in the UI version.

The syntax of the entries is checked and converted into a config.json file, which is then read when the proxy is started. Incorrect configurations cannot be saved.

More details on configuring the add-on can be found here: Configuration procedure for the Home Assistant Add-on variant and in the Config Reference

Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.
