OpenDTU is ESP32 firmware that replaces the proprietary Hoymiles DTU cloud gateway for solar micro-inverters, communicating directly over the Hoymiles/TSUN/Solenso radio protocol. It exposes a web interface plus MQTT and Prometheus endpoints for monitoring and controlling the inverter locally.

Use cases

  • monitor my Hoymiles solar inverter without the cloud
  • replace the Hoymiles DTU telemetry gateway with open source firmware
  • integrate my balcony solar setup with Home Assistant via MQTT
  • read live solar production data locally from TSUN inverter
  • limit the power output of my micro-inverter
  • export solar inverter metrics to Prometheus

When to choose

  • you have a Hoymiles, TSUN, or Solenso micro-inverter and want local, cloud-free monitoring and control
  • you want MQTT or Prometheus integration for home automation dashboards
  • you want to set inverter power limits from your own network

When to avoid

  • your inverter brand is not Hoymiles/TSUN/Solenso compatible
  • you need a ready-made commercial product rather than firmware you flash yourself
  • you rely on the vendor cloud portal features
