Some Deye solar inverters can be used with [https://solar-assistant.io/ SolarAssistant], a solution that runs on the local network on a RaspberryPi and makes all data and settings available to smart home systems via MQTT. It is neither free nor open source, but supports a wide range of inverters and makes the data available using open standards. Many but not all Deye inverters are supported, particularly not the micro inverters affected by the incidents described above.
