Can multiple inverters be added? #43

Closed zztopgtb closed 2 years ago

zztopgtb commented 2 years ago

I have 2x Sungrow SG5K-D inverters. This add-on appears to only pull data from the specified host. Can 2x hosts be specified? Thanks

I also have this setup, with one inverter having the smart meter, the other not. If I only read one inverter, the feed in will be correct, but solar production and usage will not, since the first inverter cant tell what power the second inverter is feeding to the home. I was using multiple instances of SolarIOT, but an addon that does not require manual mqtt configuration and container installation would be nice.

How did you setup SolarIOT? Theres no add-on that I can see.

Yeah, no HA addon. I was using portainer to install containers manually. They've since dropped portainer as an addon, which brought me here since a reinstall.

Its probably not particularly common to have this setup. I've been meaning to get around to understanding how HA addons work, so this will be a good start project. I'll first try to extend for our use case (2 of the same inverters), and then extend out to support multiple.

Probably not a big deal for someone who knows what they are doing, but my programming skills here are limited.

I don't have plan to support multiple inverters. Will think about it later.
