what is passhash

[pepelillo]

Hello. Trying to deploy this project but, What does passhash means? The hash calculation of the password used in Solarman platform?

[pepelillo]

in this case, what algorithm?

[mpepping]

Basically, it's a sha256 hash of your solarman account password. Using Python you should be able to get it via:

import hashlib
string="myPassword"
encoded=string.encode()
result = hashlib.sha256(encoded)
print(result.hexdigest())

There are online sha256 hash tools as well .. but I wouldn't recommend using something like that.

thanks using openssl in linux. I guess that the inverter, logger id are serials, I'll give it a try

[pepelillo]

I've just tried, using my inverter S/N as InverterID, the logger S/N as loggerID and the user key as StationID I receive some error.

Please can you specify what are these "ID's"?

I'll extends the README.md on that. Here's an example file with dummy values, so you have an idea on values and value types:

{
  "name": "Trannergy",
  "url": "api.solarmanpv.com",
  "appid": "202012345678901",
  "secret": "abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890",
  "username": "email@example.com",
  "passhash": "1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef",
  "stationId": 1234567,
  "inverterId": "XYZ1231230001",
  "loggerId": "0123456789",
  "mqtt":{
    "broker": "10.0.0.10",
    "port": 1883,
    "username": "user",
    "password": "pass"
  }
}

Hope that clarifies things a bit for now.

@pepelillo The README is updated with details on the config file values, a --validate flag is added to validate the config file syntax and a --create-passhash flagg is added to generate a password hash.

@pepelillo the latest version + README are updated to make things more clear. Just let me know if you run into something!
