Question about having two powerwall + #350

Closed akotalik closed 10 months ago

akotalik commented 10 months ago

Problem Description Installed the dashboard using the provided instructions without an issue, but the dashboard only shows data from a single inverter. I have 2 powerwall + with a single backup gateway 2. I thought I could just connect to the gateway, but it seems I need to connect to each inverter separately? Is there a way to combine into a single dashboard? Or how would I even see the other inverter?

System Details Describe the host system you are trying to use for the Dashboard:

Or I suppose a simple way to somehow install the dashboard twice on the same raspberry pi and be able to switch between inverters in graphana within single session? Only way I can see myself is buying another raspberry pi :D

Apologies- it does show both, never mind!

Congratulations, @akotalik on getting it working! Any suggestions on how we could make it better (or less confusing) to setup?

akotalik commented 10 months ago

Well for me the most confusing part is with 2 inverters and 1 gateway, each has its own password and it was not clear which one it wanted from me. Also the fact that it's only the last 5 characters. I ended up using the password from one inverter and somehow it lets me see the other too.

Also, the power flow animation on and off works and doesn't? Connection was reset error

2 inverters and 1 gateway

The gateway should aggregate all the data. My setup is odd because I have a Powerwall+ but for some reason, the build-in inverter in the PW+ has a login as well as the Backup Gateway. I used the gateway and it reports everything similar to yours.

the power flow animation on and off works and doesn't?

I've haven't seen that. The pypowerwall service proxies the gateway animation data. You should look at the logs to see what is happening:

docker logs pypowerwall

I suspect it is a connectivity issues. I had some issues with the WiFi and my Gateway that caused data drops. I eventually just hardwired an ethernet cable to the Gateway. If it is connectivity related, you should see connection errors in pypowerwall.

Hm well I hardwired my gateway with an ethernet cable and sure enough, it still doesn't work. Not I can't get any data other than weather. I even tried to uninstall the dashboard and reinstall everything. Any ideas?

Hi @akotalik - check the IP address now that you are hardwired. It should not be the same as the WiFi address you show above (192.168.91.1) as that is what the Powerwall AP uses. You can scan for the address using pypowerwall from the same network the ethernet cable is on:

pip install pypowerwall # install the Python package
python3 -m pypowerwall scan

It should scan your network (takes a while) and then outputs the address:

jason@pi:~$ python3 -m pypowerwall scan
