This service is meant to be run on a Raspberry Pi with Venus OS from Victron.
The Python script periodically reads data from a Fronius SmartMeter via the Fronius REST API and publishes information on the dbus. This makes the Venus OS work as if you had a Victron Grid Meter installed.
This service has been modified from the original to allow for single phase support and separation of configuration from the service script. It also was updated to include all attributes in the VenusOS dashboard
Special thanks goes to the following for the basis of this modified code:
This script is meant to be installed through the SetupHelper of kwindrem. Use the following details:
FroniusSmartmeterSirUlimainThe script should auto-detect the IP of the Fronius device if it is on the same network. Otherwise specify the IP using --ip.
To see if the service runs without any issues, check the file /data/log/FroniusSmartmeter/current. This should have as last entries something similar to:
@400000006404ec000994a10c *** CCGX booted (0) ***

Also you can try to start the service manually:
