Local MQTT

According to the original wiki, local MQTT is particularly relevant for Zendure legacy devices:

• Hyper2000
• Hub2000
• Hub1200
• Ace1500

Newer devices such as SolarFlow 800, SolarFlow 800 Pro and SolarFlow 2400 can communicate via zenSDK and typically do not require local MQTT.

Requirements

• MQTT broker in Home Assistant, for example Mosquitto
• Bluetooth integration in Home Assistant
• Zendure device must be visible via Bluetooth
• WiFi SSID and WiFi password
• MQTT user and password

MQTT address

A real network address or IP address should be used as the MQTT server address. According to the original wiki, core-mosquitto is not a suitable network address for the Zendure devices.

Setup data

field	Example/Note
MQTT server	IP address or hostname of the broker
MQTT port	mostly 1883
MQTT user	Username on the broker
MQTT password	Password on the broker
WiFi SSID	WLAN into which the device should be integrated
WiFi password	Password of this WLAN

Connection type per device

For supported devices, the connection type can be selected for each device:

• cloud
• local
• depending on the device also zenSDK

When changing the connection type, the integration tries to set the MQTT server in the device via Bluetooth. The device can restart. The process may take a few seconds and will then generate a Home Assistant notification with success or failure.

Reset connection

For legacy devices, the integration provides a button Reset Verbindung. This can be used if the MQTT conversion was not completed properly.
