Question - Connectivity to CTS700 #26

Closed kimthostrup closed 1 year ago

kimthostrup commented 1 year ago

Hi,

First of all really cool project :) May I ask you how you connect to the CTS700 board ? is that using the "LAN Cable" as described in the Nilan documentation ? or do you need to connect directly on the connectors on the print ?

Thanks in advance. Kim

Hi Kim, i plugged in the lan of the nilan (hanging around in the inside - next to the boiler) into powerlan and the other powerlan side directly into the router. I have a server running with this container and provide the IP the nilan gets. Thats all. From this point on you should see metrics served on: http://<docker-host>:<prom-exporter-port>/metrics which you can scrape by prometheus

Thank you for the feedback, it is appreciated. Last question, powerlan is that ethernet over 240V ?

wernerfred commented 1 year ago

Yeah but I only need this b/c I have no Ethernet in the room where Nilan is installed. If you have a switch or direct lan connection available you can simply plug it in
