solar-charger control node can't find a solarcharger service #91

Closed mpvader closed 2 years ago

while the output node can find it. This is when running the demo mode; perhaps the issue in there.

the screenshot shows the error, as well as the (connected) output node: image

I can confirm that this issue is there in demo mode, but not with an actual solar charger. The Mode path does not exist in com.victronenergy.solarcharger.tty02 when in demo mode.

So the cause is out of the scope of node-red-contrib-victron. This issue can be closed.

For gaining my own knowledge. So which scope is it in? The GUI only sets the dbus path /Settings /Gui/DemoMode of com.victronenergy.settings to a value. But it also looks like it starts playing the recording (from /opt/victronenergy/dbus-recorder/). WIthin that directory the file solarcharger.dat lacks the '/Mode' path.

its in no scope @dirkjanfaber , its not a problem that there is no /Mode path in the demos.
