Troubleshooting

Enable Debug Logging

It can be extremely helpful to enable debug logging when troubleshooting issues.

1. Open your Home Assistant instance and navigate to the Renogy integration
2. Select "Enable debug logging"
3. Navigate to the Home Assistant Core logs
4. Select the three dots in the top right and choose "Show raw logs"

Device Not Found

1. Verify your Renogy device has a BT-1 or BT-2 module installed
2. Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your Home Assistant host
3. Ensure the device is within range (typically 10m/33ft)
4. Restart the Bluetooth adapter

Connection Issues

• If the device shows as unavailable:
  1. Check the device is powered on
  2. Verify it's within range
  3. Check Home Assistant logs for specific error messages
  4. Try reducing the polling interval temporarily for testing

Data Accuracy

• Verify your device firmware is up to date
• Check the Renogy app to compare readings
• Note that some values (like daily totals) reset at midnight

Support

• For bugs, please open an issue on GitHub
• Include Home Assistant logs and your device model information
