Support for web page scraping #46

Closed cr750 closed 2 years ago

cr750 commented 4 years ago

Hi, I'm installing the monitor on a Pi, and have it working with eth2ser on a TL5000 inverter. My father has a small eversolar (sorry, don't know the model) that has a web page, /home.cgi, which provides a limited set of data. I have written some perl to gather data from the page, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how to integrate into eversolar-monitor.

If I provide the screen scraping code, could you integrate it with the main branch? I'm happy to test at any time. exampleData.txt

home.php.txt getWebData.pl.txt

Looks promising, bit why not connect directly to the unknown Eversolar inverter through serial?

Hi Henrik,The inverter is in a difficult location for serial cabling, but it does have a Wi-Fi connection from which /home.cgi is available. The Wi-Fi option allows me to configure the Pi, mail it to my 90 year old father, and all he has to do is plug in the Ethernet cable and the power cable.Regards,Phill.Sent from my Samsung Mobile on the Telstra Mobile Network -------- Original message --------From: Henrik Møller Jørgensen notifications@github.com Date: 13/1/20 07:33 (GMT+10:00) To: solmoller/eversolar-monitor eversolar-monitor@noreply.github.com Cc: cr750 phill.glasson@bigpond.com, Author author@noreply.github.com Subject: Re: [solmoller/eversolar-monitor] Support for web page scraping (#46) Looks promising, bit why not connect directly to the unknown Eversolar inverter through serial?

This is getting old, sry

If the inverter is placed within wifi reach, then it should be possible to place a RPI with Wifi near it and connect through serial - or use a serial-wifi adapter, that is supported.

I can't support screen scraping, as I don't have access to an inverter that publishes a web page
