Could you please try do delete the solax hardware and recreate a new one with the DEBUG parameter set to "True"?
Your latest log seems to be without the debug mode.

[labrag12]

i removed the hardware and recreated it again.
it claims on creation that he will made a new device.

but in the logs i still see the same errors.

link itselfs seems to be working , somethime i see some information from solax
2021-03-16 15:38:28.084 (solax) result:{'exception': 'Query success!', 'result': {'inverterSN': '***********', 'sn': '*********', 'acpower': 616.0, 'yieldtoday': 4.7, 'yieldtotal': 510.4, 'feedinpower': 0.0, 'feedinenergy': 0.0, 'consumeenergy': 0.0, 'feedinpowerM2': 0.0, 'soc': 0.0, 'peps1': 0.0, 'peps2': 0.0, 'peps3': 0.0, 'inverterType': '4', 'inverterStatus': '102', 'uploadTime': '2021-03-16 15:33:54', 'batPower': 0.0, 'powerdc1': 626.0, 'powerdc2': 0.0}, 'success': True}

Can it be that this has something to do that i'm running in in a docker container ?
Thanks again for help me out with this.

[syrhus]

I'm not sure to understand the status.
I read your log that you are able to request values to solax web site.
Do you succeed to create a new device with the plugin?
Other question, do you allow local connection in Domoticz settings with "192.168.2.*" for instance?

Could you delete your hardware, clean the log, create a new solax hardware with DEBUG parameter set to "True" and send the entire log (without your solax ID of course) ?

Can it be that this has something to do that i'm running in in a docker container ?

What do you mean by "docker container"?

[labrag12]

I'm running domotics in a docker container on my NAS
connections seems to work, it just not creating any device when i add them.
i can connect to domotics from my local network from phone laptop etc

[syrhus]

Are you able to create other device with dummy hardware for instance?
Do you have a lot of device more than 99?

I do not understand why you can't add device if you have checked "accept new hardware devices"
Do you have several users on Domoticz? Are you connected with an admin profile?

I believe in the Docker container the IP address of domoticz is different (not 192.168.x.xx), so you perhaps have to add that docker container IP address in the plugin configuration. Perhaps also add that IP range in Setup - Settings network.
But I think..... definitely not sure.

[labrag12]

This was the solution.
i used the internal ip from the docker with the internal port.
Now its added under devices and i can see the information.

Thank you both for the support,

[bouwnty]

I installed the plugin in Domoticz and in debug mode I see results coming in from SolaxCloud. But still my device is red and message ‘Updating device from 0:'0' to have values 0:'0'.’ is shown in log. In normal log it says the device is obsolete.

What is going wrong?

[syrhus]

Hi bouwnty
Don't you have a time difference between values from solax and your time? Could you send a debug log to see why values are not processed?

[bouwnty]

DiffTime was a very big number, my timezone in Solax was UTC +1 (which is correct), I changed it to UTC and then back to UTC +1. That seems to have solved the problem. Values are now updated to the device.

Thanks, syrhus!

[syrhus]

You're welcome.
Thank you for the feed back

Hi - plugin works like a charm for me! Thanks a lot for programming it.
I have a strange issue - wonder what I'm doing wrong: at the end of every day it shows a large negative bar - that is exactly what has been produced that day. Sort of like a reset. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi jldjong
I had the same issue with the last version of Domoticz.
I had to switch the Energy read property from Device to Computed. On previous version, I didn't have any problem.
This bug appears from 2021.1
Regards

[jldjong]

Thanks for that blazing fast response! Will try - and if not succesful - will let you know
Cheers!

i'm trying to get Solax inverter working in domoticz.
Getting an errors. Does anyone knows how to solve it?

This is working in the browser
http://192.168..........;8080/json.htm?type=command&param=getSunRiseSet

[syrhus]

Hi dospider
Could you please switch the debug parameter to true to get the entire log please?

[dospider]

Thnks for the very quick respons. See attachment. That's all i see.

[syrhus]

I don't see the error
Did you enter in the plugin parameters your domoticz' IP address and port => 192.168.x?.x? and port 8080 in your case?

[dospider]

Yes i did and in the problem log there is nomore then in the fist image i my first attachment.
