HA-side configuration for the LVX6048 stack

Reference configs that go into your Home Assistant instance — they aren't installed by install.sh (HA typically lives on a different host or in an HA OS appliance), but they're tracked here so the full stack is reproducible.

Mirrors the eg4battery/homeassistant/ pattern.

What's in here

File	Where it goes in HA
`mqtt_controls.yaml`	`configuration.yaml` → `mqtt: !include lvx6048/mqtt_controls.yaml` (or merge by hand)
`lovelace_controls.yaml`	Raw Lovelace card config — paste into a new dashboard view

The auto-discovery sensors (battery V, fault code, mode, MPPT power, …) arrive automatically from powermon — no HA-side config required for those. This folder only adds the pieces HA can't infer:

Control entities — selects + numbers that publish to solar/control/lvx6048/<action> so users can change settings from a dashboard without touching the LCD.
A dashboard view that wraps those controls with the existing telemetry into one screen.

Architecture (control path)

HA dashboard (mqtt select / number)
    │
    │  payload e.g. "solar_battery_utility"
    ▼
solar/control/lvx6048/<action>
    │
    ▼
lvx-control.service (on the Pi)
    │   validates against allow-list,
    │   encodes to PI18 command (e.g. "POP01"),
    │   mirrors to BOTH inverters
    ▼
powermon/lvx6048_{1,2}/addcommand
    │
    ▼
powermon executes via PI18 setter, publishes
    "Succeeded" / "Failed" to powermon/lvx6048_{1,2}/result

Enabling in HA

Drop both YAMLs into ~/homeassistant/lvx6048/ on your HA host.
Add to configuration.yaml:
```
mqtt: !include lvx6048/mqtt_controls.yaml
```
(or, if you already have an mqtt: block, merge the select: and number: lists into it.)
Restart HA. The 3× selects and 1× number entity should appear under the "Home Assistant" device.
Add the dashboard:
- Settings → Dashboards → + Add Dashboard → New dashboard from scratch
- Open the new dashboard → ⋮ → Edit dashboard → Raw configuration editor
- Paste the contents of lovelace_controls.yaml.

Available controls

Entity	Effect
`select.lvx6048_output_priority`	POP — switch between SUB / SBU output source priority
`select.lvx6048_charger_priority`	PCP — solar-first / solar+utility / solar-only charging
`select.lvx6048_solar_power_priority`	PSP — battery+load+utility+AC vs load+battery+utility
`number.lvx6048_max_charging_current`	MCHGC — combined solar+AC charge cap, 10–80 A in 10 A steps
`select.lvx6048_max_utility_charging_current`	MUCHGC — grid-only charge cap, 2/10/20/…/80 A

Note: MCHGC / MUCHGC setters are sometimes rejected by the firmware while the inverter is actively charging (mode 06). Result topics show "Failed" in that case. If a charge-current change must apply immediately, either retry while idle (mode 01) or use lvx-flash/flash.py apply (which stops powermon for exclusive USB access).

Risky settings — battery thresholds (PSDV / MCHGV / BUCD), battery type (PBT), output mode (POPM), factory reset (PF) — are intentionally not exposed via HA. Use lvx-flash/flash.py apply with an explicit profile.

Verifying

After HA reload, watch the result topics:

mosquitto_sub -h <broker> -u mqtt -P <pass> -v \
    -t 'powermon/lvx6048_1/result' \
    -t 'powermon/lvx6048_2/result'

…then flip a select in the dashboard. Both inverters should publish "Succeeded" within ~1 s.

Energy / SoC dashboard wiring (optional)

Once both inverters' ac_output_active_power and the EG4 daemon's pack_power derived sensors are in place, the Energy dashboard can show solar in / battery in/out / load — wire under Settings → Dashboards → Energy → Solar panels / Home battery storage.
