Not a isue but a request for help getting this running with modbus from ViperRNMC

[esszopo]

I've made a template file for changing Fonske modbus entry's to Viper entry's(installed from HACS).
I couldn't make templates for 2 they are:
_discharging_cutoff_capacity
_charging_cutoff_capacity

Next I had a problem with 1 entry that's a select in Fonske's setup and a switch in Viper's.
This is what I came up with.

  - name: "Marstek M1 RS485 Control Mode"
    default_entity_id: select.marstek_m1_rs485_control_mode
    unique_id: marstek_m1_rs485_control_mode
    icon: mdi:connection
    options: "{{ ['On', 'Off'] }}"
    state: >
      {% if is_state('switch.marstek_venus_modbus_rs485_besturingsmodus', 'on') %}
        On
      {% else %}
        Off
      {% endif %}
    select_option:
      - service: "switch.turn_{{ option | lower }}"
        target:
          entity_id: switch.marstek_venus_modbus_rs485_besturingsmodus

The final isue I have is when I deploy the Node Red flows I get a error, not realy a suprise but I know very little about Node Red.

Any help is appreciated.

I used this yaml https://github.com/fonske/MarstekVenusV3-modbus-TCP-IP/blob/main/marstek_m1_modbus_tcp.yaml and it has no cutoff capacity. Have a look in the other battery thread on the discord server. I have made a list of relevant entities for HBC. The control mode I think should be the other way around. Keep the enable and disable since hbc needs them. In the select option transfer the received enable/disable option value in a switch on or off.
For the node-red i do not know. Perhaps Bob can help you.

In addition. Removing the viper integration and installing one from fonske is a much better plan.

I knew about Fonke githup and I could not find them in use either, I did see them commented out, so I think they are bob internal(I just wanted to be sure) and I'm not to worried about them. It's just about the naming convention the name they have is the name fonske uses "marstek_m1__charging_cutoff_capacity". Thanks about the disable/enable I'll update my template. I would like to keep using ViperRNMC because his development is still going strong(his last one was making the rs485 load less heavy, getting more values in one request) and he has all the Venus variants and I've an E and A(my A has 196 entity's and the E 116, he's still looking for more).

These are all the entity's I've found to be in use by Bob and are in my template file, there are only 17.

That is almost correct but not all fields are actively used:

I know now that the Node Red error I showed is a general error saying something went wrong. The real error is this:

sorry jos1958 but when I'm logged in to discord and enable your discord link I get garbage my user name is wsvayvel or wsvayvel1919

Strange, go to the HBC server:
