Fronius-inverter node not shown

[ahpohl]

After installing the node-red-contrib-fronius-solar palette v1.0.4 I cannot see the inverter node. The control in node is there.

The node-red admin list shows that the palette has been installed successfully.

Nodes                                    Types                State  
node-red-contrib-fronius-solar/fronius   fronius-control      enabled
                                         fronius-inverter            

Am I looking in the wrong place?

The inverter is the configuration item in the background to control the control node

Ok, now I entered the hostname and api version into the control node properties. But there is still no output. There is really not a lot of documentation how to use the fronius-solar module. Could you provide an example?

For sure, I don't see the fronius-inverter node like shown on the node-red page:

I have connected like this, which is obviously wrong. I don't want to control it, I just want to get the inverter output say every 5 seconds for further processing. For this I would need the fronius-inverter node I assume.

You need an inject node to connect as an input

[ahpohl]

Ok, now I connected an inject node to the input of the fronius control in node. But what kind of payload do I need now to get some output? I haven't found an example or documentation how to use it.

EDIT: It does work without config when pressing the inject button.

Yeah just define in inject node with some interval configuration like
