Goodwe GM1000 / GM3000 energy meter support

Charge HQ does not currently support the Goodwe GM1000 / GM3000 energy meter.

If you are interesting in support being added you might like to vote for this topic and follow it for updates.

Goodwe have confirmed that their API, which Charge HQ uses to obtain Goodwe data, does not yet support these meters. We are currently waiting for an update from Goodwe as to when such support will be added. Once it is, we’ll add support to Charge HQ.

For now, if you connect Charge HQ to a Goodwe system with one of these meters, Charge HQ will only see the solar generation data, not the grid import/export or household consumption. For more details see Do I need an energy meter?

I have been fiddling with setting to make it work. I have GM1000 and only detects generation. Will be interested.
Wanted to give it try before I got the yearly subscription. If GM1000 can be supported I will definitely buy.

Puzzling why GoodWe would update their consumption monitoring hardware and not their API. Called GoodWe before seeing this post to resolve why I couldn’t see consumption on any 3rd party platforms and they were adamant it was an issue they were unable to resolve

Am I mistaken, but wasn’t this data previously obtainable as it used to work in the past? What changed?

@themassops Charge HQ supports other Goodwe meters, but has never supported the GM1000 / GM3000 meters. This is because the Goodwe API does not provide data for these meters.

@jay It defintiely has because it used to work for me. Here’s a screenshot of it working via my GM3000. Imgur: The magic of the Internet. It worked for me for the whole 9 months I was using it.

I moved house in April and now have a GM1000 but hadn’t needed to use the solar tracking feature as I charged during free energy periods. But now having changed plan, I’ve enabled it again and was wondering why it was no longer showing.

@themassops is it possible that you had a HomeKit HK3000 meter, not a GM3000? That is a supported model.

Ah my apologies - you are totally right. This has actually just flagged a problem with my solar install as they’re supposed to have installed the HK1000 but have installed a GM1000. Would make sense why I wasn’t getting consumption data!

Their SEMS api already has grid power. That’s how home assistant shows it for this meter.

Why is charge hq not able to read the same data that home assistant gets from the api?

pmeter contains the information.

@rodneymoore the SEMS API is not an official API and is intended for use by the SEMS portal and app, not by third-parties.

Charge HQ uses a different API which is intended by use by third-party partners. Unfortunately Goodwe have not added support for these new meters to the API used by Charge HQ.

Where possible, Charge HQ prefers to use official APIs so we have more confidence in their ongoing availability.
