Re: how to add APSystems ECU-3 solar inverter monitor

@waaren I have a P1 smart meter device, subtype energy, providing the net power consumed from the power grid. (updates every second ). The other device is PVO Solarmain, giving the produced energy of my PV panels per 5 minutes. I want to create perhaps two other virtual sensors: one: the consumed ...

Re: how to add APSystems ECU-3 solar inverter monitor

@FireWizard: that worked and saved me time! Is there a custom solution for a virtual sensor to compute my power consumption per 5 minutes by adding the PVO value to my reported P1 energy consumption value (which is negative in case I produce more than I consume)? I am still considering to get real ...

Re: how to add APSystems ECU-3 solar inverter monitor

Thanks @FireWizard. Yes, my data is uploading to PVO by a python script (apstopvoutput.py) in crontab every 5 minutes. Is there a python script available that sets up the domoticz sensors etc. on which I could build (basically merging both scripts)? perhaps I could learn from your post on Monday 23 ...

Re: how to add APSystems ECU-3 solar inverter monitor

Perhaps it is better to look a bit into the APsystems EMA web client to understand their API calls (so far we can only query 5 min total energy timestamps, whereas the web client can access the individual panel data)

Re: how to add APSystems ECU-3 solar inverter monitor

Thanks for all the feedback. I performed a port scan and there is no open port. Perhaps I should replace the ECU-R with a ECU-3 module? Does the ECU-3 support QS1 inverters? I have been successful to pull the 5min timestamps from the EMA database into PVoutput, so I could load into Domoticz from ...

Re: how to add APSystems ECU-3 solar inverter monitor

Hi, the ECU-R is brand new, and was supplied as monitoring device with my 5 QS1 inverters. I had not realized that the ECU-3 is a different unit. Perhaps ECU-R does not allow local inspection of the data using a web browser. The basic functionality of ECU-R is as follows: you connect to the ECU-R ...

Re: how to add APSystems ECU-3 solar inverter monitor

Does anybody have experience with pulling data from the ECU-R Rev4.2 unit? In this thread I have read about v4.1 and an older version. However, my unit does not respond on http://localip/index.php/home neither on http://localip/cgi-bin/home
