Hi. Excellent work - a big thumbs up from me! Will this work with MPPSolar hybrid HV2-5048?

Hi, thanks for the video. Just wondering if this will work with Voltronic inverters. Also would be cool to take this project a bit further and build an Inverter dashboard on Home Assistant.

I'm looking for this to work with a growatt min. Inverter. But I was not looking for mqqt, but gagues. I was looking at the code for the ads1115 which is fine but had trouble shifting the data over. That uses JSON but for some reason the strong format (which I had to change) wouldn't work (getreadings) It was to monitor solar strings individually. It would be easy to port to battery and inverter output. But data exchange.. I2c....

Would really appreciate it if you could make some content of how MQTT works and why.

Where would i go in those git hub files to change the serial port command set? I have a Steca, but it uses many of the same codes, just for different functions.

I think we can't simultaneously connect USB connection with and Rs232 connection with inverter, as Nodemcu has same UART I believe, but you have not used software serial library instead?

@DIYTechRepairs

3 жыл бұрын

No you cant use USB and RX/TX at same time on the esp8266 no. Its either or and its described in the video as well. I do that because running software serial towards this inverters is so unstable due to the libs. Its crashes to much. On the ESP32 though this can be remade but on other hand i have no use having to use the usb at same time as its connected to the modbus adaptor.

what a really generous person. you made it very cheap but in market these devices cost $70+ . Little question, can our WatchPower software of inverter detect this in-network so eighter showing results in MQTTserver, we can see results in actual inverter software?
