Added wider temperature and power range, added further checks #115

Closed MKesenheimer closed 9 months ago

MKesenheimer commented 9 months ago

Since my power production was higher than 600W, I increased the max_value for power. Furthermore, I added more checks when adding the energy value to the daily production.

Sorry, the other commits were not intended to be in this pull request. Please ignore them.

The Dockerfile and the config.yaml are for a addon that I built for Home Assistant. With these changes, your tool can be added directly as a plugin to Home Assistant which pulls the values and publishes them to a MQTT server running in Home Assistant.

I am closing this PR since you already implemented the relevant changes. Thank you.

That's interesting. Can you provide more information about this? I use Home Assistant, too. But run inverter-connect on a different machine and use Mosquitto for as MQTT broker...

MKesenheimer commented 9 months ago

There is the possibility in Home Assistant to import custom addons. If I remember correctly, the addons are stored in the directory /root/addons. You can simply copy my project folder with the Dockerfile and additional config file via ssh or a samba share into this directory. After a restart of HA, the addon should be visible under Settings > Add-ons > Add-on Store. The custom addon can be installed like every other addon by clicking "install". If everything went correctly, HA should now run an instance of "inverter-connect". Keep in mind, that the mqtt broker must be installed separately.

For more information how to develop your own addons and how to install them, visit https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/add-ons/tutorial/.

Oh, one more thing: I don't know yet, how to modify configuration files via the HA interface. Therefore, if you want to try out my changes, you have to modify the file cfg/inverter-connect-template.toml by hand and rename it to cfg/inverter-connect.toml. This file is copied automatically during the Docker build.

Thank for the information... Hm. Manually change the settings file is bad :( I also don't know if this is in general a good idea here, because i use HomeAssistant via YunoHost...
