Could you perhaps eleborate how to use the plug-in? I would like to use it for my Solax system.

AciDCooL commented 5 years ago

Added short tutorial to the frontpage, want to make it a plugin, first waiting for my second inverter and 25 panels. Then I can probly make a better plugin for multiple groups and inverters. For now its a python plugin which needs to run every minute on the raspberry.

Thanks, that helps a lot! Managed to add all the devices and the script is running. However, the daily yield has only been updated once. Any idea how to fix that?

It's the 'idxyieldtoday' device. I created a rfxmeter for it like the readme says, but it does not update. Even when executing the script manually it does not update with the latest. But the Solax Cloud app clearly says a different value for the daily yield.

Just tested it, you need to set the rfxmeter to counter. Go to the utility tab in domoticz and edit the rfxmeter and set it to counter.

Changed it to counter. But now it shows only one digit? http://i65.tinypic.com/autrp4.jpg

So I have installed your script, but nothing happens. I get no errors, but also not a single reading. I've added an output option to my commandline when I start the script ( >/home/pi/Documents/output.txt) but also this textfile stays very empty. The dummy switches are updated every minute, but just with 'nothing'.

Can you confirm the script still works for SolaX Cloud?

Running just fine here, did you add the dummies as mentioned in Domoticz?

I just discovered your image, that helped alot! Now I only got problems with the total yield of the day. My app says 0,1 kWh and the dummy sensor says 562,8 kWh...

Are you sure that is not the total count of your Solax system? Yield of the day is also not working perfect here, I only get figures without decimals. So only 1kwh, not 1.234kwh.

Could be. It's a new house and the panels are placed by the contractor. I only have values from the day I added my wifi-module to the system. My total reads 270,9 kWh, but that was a few months after the actual installation. I will monitor today and see if I will hit the 1 kWh in the dummy switch :-)
