extra status label

[JeroenSchwab]

I have an MPPsolar PIP5048MS and I have it connected via the serial port to an raspberry pi3 and i am running your script. if i run the script like: mpp-solar -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 2400 -c QPIGS

I get this: ac_input_frequency 49.9 Hz ac_input_voltage 233.6 V ac_output_active_power 0386 W ac_output_apparent_power 0437 VA ac_output_frequency 50.0 Hz ac_output_load 008 % ac_output_voltage 230.1 V battery_capacity 100 % battery_charging_current 000 A battery_discharge_current 00007 A battery_voltage 53.60 V battery_voltage_from_scc 53.61 V bus_voltage 374 V device_status

• Add SBU priority version - No
• Configuration unchanged
• SCC firmware version updated
• Load on
• Battery voltage not to steady while charging
• Charging on
• SCC charging on
• AC charging off inverter_heat_sink_temperature 0035 Deg_C pv_input_current_for_battery 0000 A pv_input_voltage 070.7 V unknown_value_in_response 010

I think the "unknown_value_in_response" is the Wattage of the PV. Becouse this is the only value that is different then when i look at the menu on the inverter it self. I looked at the code to find out how I could add this to the influxdb but I can not figure it out. Can you help me to add this?

Hi

Your inverter is returning more info than mine for the qpigs command. When it does this it will display the result but put it as unknown.

To update what the responses mean there is a qpigs.json in the commands folder. In there you can see a 'response' field. You will need to add in the details (watch the commas and where its added)

You'll need to reinstall it after changing it i think

If you can't get it to work let me know and I'll send a file for you when I get back to a computer

Hi, tanx for the help I will try it and let you know if it worked.

[JeroenSchwab]

Hi, I added some things and I think I get even more values back. I added the extra fields have way and then all the values are not right. if i add them to the end I get this. (pvinput power, 1 and 2)

mpp-solar -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 2400 -c QPIGS

ac_input_frequency 49.9 Hz ac_input_voltage 226.0 V ac_output_active_power 2085 W ac_output_apparent_power 2101 VA ac_output_frequency 49.9 Hz ac_output_load 042 % ac_output_voltage 226.0 V battery_capacity 100 % battery_charging_current 000 A battery_discharge_current 00000 A battery_voltage 55.50 V battery_voltage_from_scc 55.56 V bus_voltage 393 V device_status

Is there a way to see what the inverter is sending out so i can find out what each value is? like this line in de qpigs.json file test_responses": [ "(000.0 00.0 230.0 49.9 0161 0119 003 460 57.50 012 100 0069 0014 103.8 57.45 00000 00110110 00 00 00856 010$\u008c\r" ],

-R will show the raw output

[JeroenSchwab]

I tryed that but it gives me: mpp-solar -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 2400 -R (92931809100909��

[jblance]

You'll need to include the command too, ie add '-c QPIGS'

Otherwise it defaults to QID ie the above is the serial number

[JeroenSchwab]

I can hit my self for the head... it works. It now gives me: mpp-solar -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 2400 -c QPIGS -R (223.1 49.9 223.1 49.9 1003 0872 020 393 55.60 000 100 0035 0000 132.1 55.56 00000 01110110 00 00 00038 1104� I am pretty sure the 00038 is PV power but i can not figure out what the others are after 01110110.

[jblance]

Great to hear. I'll close this as resolved for you now.
