Start and stop the system/configuration

[MaeChr]

Is it possible to get a button to stop or start the system/configuration.

As an example when something is not working properly, so I can stop the system with one button.
Currently I see no possibility to do that, maybe with a dirty move like changing the IP Address.

I'm not sure I understand the goal of this. Stop which system? The inverter? There's an input_select for that here:

Sungrow-SHx-Inverter-Modbus-Home-Assistant/modbus_sungrow.yaml

Line 2534 in 4cc83ca

set_sg_inverter_run_mode:

No i don't want to start/stop the inverter. I want that the inverter works without the homeassistant configuration

[Gnarfoz]

It does. The integration is pretty much read-only unless you adjust the various input_numbers and input_selects. Only that triggers automations which influence inverter behavior by writing to Modbus registers.
There is no permanently running control loop that could be deactivated.

P.S.: If for some reason you want to prevent Home Assistant from talking to your inverter, changing the IP address seems like a good hack to achieve that.

Use a Modbus proxy. If you deactivate it, there will no longer be a connection to the inverter.
