Hello,
i want to heat my water with my excess energy.
As Sungrow cant display my Battery as excess i need to confuigure a device, something like a pi or similar.
I know how it should work im just not experienced enough to create it.
The plan:
SH 20RT + SBR256 -> Rasepery Pi -> dig. Relay open/close -> heating rod (MyPV AC-Elwa2)
The Pi should read if there is excess energy (more than 1,5kW) or if the Battery is between 5-100%. in both cases the relay should open and if both are not true the relay should close.
if anyone has a Solution or Support i would be really thankfull!

Are you already using home assistant?

Would you have export before you charge up your battery? If not, it could be as simple as getting a CT clamp on your electricity meter tails like a Shelly EM and have a Shelly relay to turn on the heater.

That's obviously an option as well

https://github.com/mkaiser/Sungrow-SHx-Inverter-Modbus-Home-Assistant there seems to be a HACS integration for the inverter - without having spent too much time on it I'm pretty sure it is possible to do. The problem is just finding someone doing it for you without you investing any time into it.
