Request/ Clarification : Get the inverter running mode #10

Open mihiHarshana opened 1 year ago

mihiHarshana commented 1 year ago

I am not much into c#, appriciate if there is any way I cant get Inverter Current mode. ie, if it is currently on 'By Pass mode' as per the protocol guilde, Computer: QMOD should do this. but what I don't understand here is, why it does not work ? any config to be changed to get that ?
Appreciate If someone experienced can provide me a guide here. Thank you

what's your inverter model? my sako 3.5kw inverter does not report "bypass mode". if i remember correctly it only reports "battery mode", which can't be used to determine if the inverter is in bypass mode or not.

Sako Sun on pro 5.5KW, I am not yet sure if it reports or not. I would try to change the Status that you have used 'api/status' try to get the mode and give you and update. I am stuck on adding a new file and getting the values like Status you have done.

I did something like this., Charging the current status and remove the rest of the code, changed to "QMOD" I got the following results in By Pass mode Inverter sends "L" when in Battery mode Inverter sends "B"

Still my question is I need to add a new file as GetMode, and when I do as you have done for GetStatus. it does not work at all.

Hope you are clear on what I am trying. Sorry for troubling you.

how often do you wanna query the mode? once in a while in a one-off fashion or do you wanna query it continuously? if continuously, need to modify the StatusRetriever background service to do the polling frequently. if once in a while, it would be easier to create a new endpoint to do the querying on request. let me know what you want, and i'll see what can be done when i have some free time.

I would prefer it is happening often so I know if the inverter is in what state. Thanks
