Home Assistant’s Sofar integration is gaining an inverter remote on/off control, privacy-redacted diagnostics and a way to change its network address without deleting it. The reconfigure flow preserves entity customizations and history, then verifies the inverter serial number so an entry cannot silently move to a different device.
The same work protects cumulative energy totals during startup. Sofar now restores each total sensor’s prior high-water mark before the first poll, closing a gap in which a torn first read could permanently step a total backward. Diagnostics include the raw register blocks and polled components needed to investigate missing or incorrect readings, while explicitly removing the serial number from both named and raw data.
The diagnostics documentation supports the implementation rather than standing as a separate story. Together, the changes make setup recovery and fault reports safer while keeping local control independent of a cloud service.
