warning

You should always connect the energy meter directly to the controller, not to the inverter. Connecting the energy meter to the inverter can cause control problems, especially if your site has many different kinds of devices to control.

Now that the basic configuration has been done you can add the Smart Meter:

1. Select "Devices" in the menu
2. Start the device wizard
3. Choose "Energy Meters"
4. Select "Fluvius"
5. Select "P1 port USB cable"
6. When asked for a device type/protocol select "P1 port DSMR 4.2/DSMR 5"
7. Click "Search"
8. Click "End scan and go to results"
9. Select "Save and go to device settings"
10. Fill in the correct settings and click save

After adding the Smart Meter we can now add the hybrid inverter:

1. Select "Devices" in the menu
2. Start the device wizard
3. Choose "Solar inverter" or "Battery systems"
4. Select "Sigenergy/Energreen" from the list of brands
5. Select "Ethernet TCP" and click "Next"
6. Select "SigenStor" and click "Next"
7. Open "Option 1. Add by MAX address"
8. If no devices are listed click "Refresh table"
9. Click "Select" next to the MAC address of the inverter

note

These inverters are usually listed as "Espressif Inc."

10. Click "Search"
11. Click "End scan and go to results"
12. Click "Save and go to device settings"
13. Fill in the correct settings and click save

warning

Make sure to enable "Modbus TCP" in the Sigenergy/Energreen app.
For correct battery control the control mode should be set to "External Control" Make sure the Energreen battery is installed WITHOUT meter and no grid export/import limits have been set.
