Hi,

Have been using this script for a while, but suddenly it has stopped working.

Code: Select all

File "C:\inverter\solarmanpv.pyw", line 38
    print 'Logged In: '+username
          ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print('Logged In: '+username)?
Anyone have any idea what can be the problem? I'm not so familiar using scripts.

Seams it was a problem with upgrading to python 3.7
Have now downgraded again, but now I get this error:

Re: Ginlong, Omnik Solar, Solarman and Trannergy Inverters

After some failed attempts to get data sent to "Server B" on my Ginlong inverter, I've resorted to a very simple PHP script that runs on a Raspberry Pi (same one as Domoticz runs on). It's executed via cron every minute. It takes data from the local status page on the logger, and sends that to a dummy kWh Meter I created in Domoticz. This adds the current power, and today's total.

So far, it's works very well. Only downside is that Domoticz shows e.g. 9W at night, because that was the last known value before the device shut off. It's easy though to add some code that sends 0 values between sunset and sunrise, as PHP can calculate those times based on geolocation. Right now, I'm not too bothered by it (the totals are still fine, because I've set the device to use "Energy read: from device").

The script uses a built-in PHP function to do an HTTP GET, so there are no dependencies on CURL or any other library besides the default PHP installation.

Code: Select all

<?php

// Fetch HTML source of the status page on the logger stick (replace `username:password` and `ip`)
$html = @file_get_contents('http://admin:[email protected]/status.html');

// Only continue if there was a response (e.g. not at night when the device shuts itself off)
if ($html)
{
  // Use a regular expression to find the needed data on the page
  preg_match_all('/var (.*) = "(.*)"/', $html, $matches, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

  // Build an array of all found data, where keys are the variables used on the status page
  $data = [];

  foreach ($matches[1] AS $key => $value)
  {
    $data[$value] = $matches[2][$key];
  }

  // Check if current W (`webdata_now_p`) and today's total (`webdata_today_e`) are set
  // Also check if `webdata_now_p` is a numerical value greater than 1 (I've seen the status page return a blank value once or twice a day)
  if (isset($data['webdata_now_p']) && isset($data['webdata_today_e']) && is_numeric($data['webdata_now_p']) && $data['webdata_now_p'] > 0)
  {
    // Make a request to Domoticz to add to the graph (replace `ip:port` and `idx`)
    // Multiply toay's total by 1000, because Domoticz expects Wh instead of kWh
    file_get_contents('http://10.0.0.12:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=282&nvalue=0&svalue='.$data['webdata_now_p'].';'.$data['webdata_today_e']*1000);
  }
}

Maybe create a plug-in for that by using the OMNIK plug-in as template??

I'm struggling with receiving data from my Ginlong Solis as well and this seems to be a very straightforwarded approach.
However, I want to run this from a synology NAS. I'm completly new to PHP but I assume I need to install some PHP version on the NAS. Currenlty it has PHP 5.6 as package installed. PHP 7 / 7.2 and 7.3 are also available. Do you now which version your script requires?

What type of sensor do you used:usage(electric) or electric(Instant+Counter), other?

Furthermore, I'm not into PHP scripting but is it possible to set the value to 0 when the first check if the device is powered on failes?
The check is already there and is stead of not proceeding with the script if the device is turned of (= no sun) it shoud be easy to output a steady value to domoticz in stead of the scraped web value. Maybe this is an easy adjustment?

Thanks to sincze for his great help. I can confirm that script works great.
I tried to get this one working, as i have a shinemonitor wifi plug, but I only get a fault message. Please can you help me with this one ?

hello, afaik they changed something in url here is my latest dirty working code :)
Thanks @devros for this old example code. I am now able to fetch 5 minute data from shinemonitor.com for my 3 Deye micro inverters and feed into Domoticz!

Anybody succeeded to fetch the inverter data locally from the RS485 modbus of a Deye ECD?

Really wondering why apparently for a Ginlong inverter nobody is able to activate&apply the interface towards Server_B.
True, or missing something?

At this moment the local logging for my Ginlong Solis700_4G inverter is still limited to basis info for power & energy as grasped from their monitoring website by a script from this thread.
However, for fully feeding a related registration at PVOutput and/or locally, it would be nice to have some more inverter-internal info such as VPV and Invertertemp from the datastream running between the inverter and Server_B_option: earlier trial :( without success .....
Update (of June 2020) of the used reading program for Server_B found at https://github.com/graham0/ginlong-wifi
[the User Instructions are now much clearer, but in the scripts most changes seem editorial only related to print-lines & comment-lines]
Instructions for setup are clear
#Configuring the inverter Log onto your inverter and click on 'Advanced' Now click 'Remote server' Enter a new ip address for 'Server B' (your computer) enter a port number (default 9999) select 'TCP' Click the 'Test' button and a tick should appear. Click 'Save' and and when prompted 'Restart'
Although slightly ambiguous that TCP is a selection hidden under menu-item Solarman-Customer, and (probably?) not menu-item Transparant Protocol.

;-) That invites to retry .......
To start easy, my Ginlong Inverter and the related Raspberry/Server_B are in same IP-range 192.168.0.x
At the Inverter-side set Server_B at 192.168.0.185, no Domain, port 9999 and TCP (with other choices at unchanged 'default')
Loaded the script from github and ran unchanged, teststarting from Putty's CLI (let the script do the IP-search).
Result: nothing but steady cursor
Then minimally changed the python script to point to IP-address '192.168.0.185'.
Result: same as above.

In both cases at the inverterside Server_B is indicated as pingable.
That seems sign that connection made, but no further progress .......

Graham in the introductory text is clear in indicating that error reporting is not included, which means that headscratching is still my part .....

Any hints appreciated to enable starting the data stream.

Addition August 26:
Running the (only renamed) script from Putty's CLI with sudo python3 generates a reaction!

Code: Select all

  File "/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/python/Ginlong_Reader00_RPI3B.py", line 88
    temp = str(float(int(hexdata[inverter_temp*2:inverter_temp*2+4],16))/10)   # temperature                                                                   # extract dc input values and convert to decimal
                                                                                                                                                            ^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
;-) At least signs of life seeming to indicate that communication is running and now the dissect is next hurdle ....

After the experiment today, in Graham's script after line 80 stripped all empty lines, and the spaces and commentlines at the end of the scriptlines, but no luck/ progress: still same results whether run with sudo python or with sudo python3 .....

Apparently some more editing required: if only knowing what ........

sincze wrote: Wednesday 16 August 2017 21:53 So forum member devros and myself have been playing around to see if we could modify the initial shinemonitor script in such a way that it should work for all kinds of inverters that report their data to shinemonitor.

Kudo's to the devros and his wireshark skills. :D

Pay special attention to the following values:
pn= on your wifi stick or can be found on the shinemonitor portal after signing in the regular way
sn= the serial number of your inverter. Can also be found on the official portal
devcode= this tricky number you have to extract using for example chrome f12 (under network) to see an initial string between your browser and shinemonitor. It seems every brand has its own devcode.

Just run with Python3 as cronjob every 5 minutes or so.

Have fun!!.
devros & sincze.
I used this script for a while now and it worked perfectly until a week or so. It seems that the www.shinemonitor.com/ws part is not working anymore. I have tried to find out how to work with the api but I get stuck on the company-key so no avail there. Would love your insights to see how I can get it working again.

Thanks Sabi

I still have a working omnik portal website. I get my data directly from the Omnik inverter so no need for a web portal. But it would be nice if it keeps working... :-)

Yes I've the same (local read-out), however if you monitor for other people that don't have Domoticz ;-) it will become a different ball game in the near future.

Okay, I have recently gotten solar panels as well and have been wrestling with the read-outs. It's a Solis inverter (Ginlong) with a LAN-interface that automatically uploads its statistics to the portal page at m.ginlong.com. I use the mobile app called "Solis Home", so if you use that as well, there's a good chance you can use my read-out method in a similar way.

I have been searching a lot on how to get the statistics in Domoticz. I've seen a lot of information and topics of people approaching this in various ways, some with success, others without any. This is how I approached it, hopefully some of you can use this. I am deliberately crossposting to make sure people that need this or are looking for it find it somewhere.

The approach:
- Make sure you can log in to m.ginglong.com and have the/a username and password available
- In Domoticz, create Dummy hardware with 2 sensors attached to it: 1 for the usage (in watts), which will show how many watts your PV is producing, 1 switch, which will show the status of your PV (on or off). For me, this looks like this:
Image
- Next, put the Python-script below (called ginlong.py in my case) on your Domoticz-device and make sure Python is available on the system.
Make sure you update the parameters under #config and #domoticz settings:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python
import requests
import urllib, urllib2
import json

#config
username 			= '[email protected]'				#your username to log on to m.ginlong.com
password 			= 'P@ssw0rd!'				#your password to log on to m.ginlong.com
domain 				= 'm.ginlong.com' 			#webportal to read
plantId 			= '965529' 					#plant id (can be found on m.ginlong.com page information)
lan 				= '2' 						#language (2 = English)

#domoticz settings
domoticz_host      		= 'domoticzuser:[email protected]'				#Username/password and IP of Domoticz
domoticz_port      		= '8080'				#Port to connect to Domoticz
domoticz_url       		= 'json.htm'			#URL to post stats to Domoticz, does not require changes normally
domoticz_device_idx    		= '486'			#IDX of Watt meter in Domoticz
domoticz_device_onoff_idx   	= '485'			#IDX of on/off switch (to see whether its on or off for PV)

# Create session for requests
session = requests.session()

#building url
url = 'http://'+domain+'/cpro/login/validateLogin.json'

    "userName": username,

    print("Login Succesful!")
else:
    print("Login Failed!!")
    Exit()

resultData = session.get(url, cookies=cookies)
resultJson = resultData.json()

- Make the script executable using command

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x ginlong.py
while you are in the directory that contains the script. Due to a lack of knowledge I always do a

Code: Select all

[sudo chmod 777 ginlong.py/code] as well to make sure all users can use it. I'm sure it's not needed or a security-thing, but let's just say ignorance is bliss ;)
- Run the script once on the device and make you see output on the commandline.
I start the script using command:
[code]sudo /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/ginlong.py
Getting output? Great! Most likely you first values are also visible on your newly created Domoticz-devices as well, yay! Treat yourself to a beer at this point!
- Next, create anóther switch in Domoticz (by simply creating one using the Manual option, with random settings). Edit the switch and make it a "Push On" button. In the "On action" and "Off action", put the script location so it is started whenever the button is triggered. For me, this looks like this:
Image
When using the configuration above (so: "script://ginlong.sh"), you are assuming that the script is located in the scripts folder under the Domoticz installation folder. If that's not the case, change the path (google or search the forum on how to incorporate the path)
- Press the update-knop (so the device you just created) and make sure the values are updated
- And here comes the clue: Running the script once every X-minutes. Note that I am no Linux-Raspbian expert and I couldn't get it to work using a crontab-job (just as well though, as I now have everything in Domoticz, which I prefer). Putting a timer on the switch did not allow running the task (pressing the button) often enough and I was wrestling errors in Domoticz whilst trying to get it up and running, eventuelly I ended up using a dzVents script. The script looks like this (basically saying, press the button every 5 minutes):

Code: Select all

 return {
        
    on = { timer = {"every 5 minutes"} },
    
	execute = function(domoticz, _)
		local myDevice = domoticz.devices("Zonnepanelen Update")
		if myDevice.state == "On" then
			myDevice.switchOn()
		else
			myDevice.switchOn()
		end
	end		
}
I'm sure that there's a better way to do this but again: for me ignorance is bliss and I adhere to "if it ain't broken don't fix it" (lazy, jep!) ;)
That ought to do it!

Disclaimers and more detailed info:
- I am no programmer, developer or whatever, just a hobbyist. Had to "learn" a bit (more) Python and JSON but I am no expert. So: No warranties, and I'm sure it lacks efficiency etc. Knock yourself out on improvements :)
- I am only reading the current usage/production and the status. The status can have various values I found (0 = off, 1 = on, 2 something else?), but the switch only understands 0 and 1, when it's 2 it shows "Dimmed". Not sure what other statusses other than 0 and 1 mean, enlighten me if you figured it out :)
- In the JSON I am retrieving there's more values that might be interesting and that can be used for calculations. I couldn't figure it out quickly and had accomplished my goal so this is it for me. Feel free to venture onward!
- This is it for me, I've accomplished the goal I wanted to achieve, so I won't be updating and advancing the functionality. Knock yourself out doing so :)
- Credits for large parts of the scripting go to the people that had already created this before me, I just modded a bit!

Hopefully this helps the people that were running into the same questions/issues I was. I'm happy about it (and kind of proud as well, gotta be honest ;)). The end result looks like this:

And now I'm done typing. My fingers are sore... ;)

It seems Omnik is officially down now. (no data from the webportal anymore, of course local reading of your inverter still possible)

The data is available in Solarman https://home.solarmanpv.com/login.

Many of the previous messages tell stories about (non-working) webportals and the limitation of data available at the webportals.

It retriggers interest for the Ginlong/Solis-inverter for the puzzle to set & get communication with 'own' Server_B for local data-extraction of the whole & much longer dataset (as mentioned in a few messages in this thread).
If reading this message, it could be that not all firmware-versions well support that Server_B-function, explaining the lack of success to connect to Server_B.
The quoted message describes a work-around directly interacting with the inverter-datastream.
In combination with solutions already found in this forum, it must be possible to get a working solution which directly extracts the whole dataset from the datastream, and ;) suitable for dummies.

:) Might be interesting to investigate now the evenings get longer, in preparation for next PV-season ......
Still First step: what is simplest way for compatible settting of a Server_B, to get working interface between inverter and Server_B, and as finish how to extract the data for Domoticz?
Backup Second step (if 'First step' completely fails): how to translate the quoted message into a Domoticz-application?

Addition September21, 2021:
Tried the work-around mentioned above, but no luck, because

Code: Select all

<LAN Stick IP>/config_hide.html
(with inverter-ip included) as Firefox-result just has an error report telling that the interface has been re-initiated.

Tried earlier to activate traffic through Ginlong's Server_B-function:
see first attempt and second attempt.

The demise of Omnik's server just one more reason to retry the First Step from previous message getting an 'own' operational interface from my Ginlong/Solis-inverter to a Server_B.

Plan of attack

Further effort aimed in 2 directions:
1) which port of the inverter&DLS is providing an useful output-file for local application at the LAN?
2) how to match an extraction script?

In the description below try to describe as much as possible the relevant aspects:
some may seem trivial, but have learned the hard way that sometimes 'small thing' are important (especially :x is wrongly applied)

At my LAN, both inverter and Server-Raspberry are within same ip-range 192.168.0.x
According to messages&instructions the Python-script in the first spoiler should run for TCP and port set at 9999 in inverter and in the script, and then produce files covering the complete list of uploaded inverter-values, but no luck for me:
at Putty's CLI the script still throwing blanks or errors .....
[Did not yet try the bash-variant of that script]

:idea: Would FTP-interface better work?
At the inverter-setuppage for the destination-ip set the port to 21 => interface for Server_B becoming Pingable for all protocols looks positive.
Now next question: where at destination-ip to find & get the incoming files?
[Server_B/Destination-ip is a Raspberry running Raspian-Buster & beta-Domoticz & VSFTPD]

And subsequent question: how to link to the script in the spoiler?

IP & Port-scanning

Computer performing the scanning is in same ip-range as the DLS, but connected to other ethernet-switch.
Advanced IP-Scanner only shows the http-port of the DLS' ip-address.
Ran netcat at Server_B scanning the inverter-ports:
looking at result apparently inverter's port 8899 is open, not port 9999 as set in the inverter_menu for Server_B.
Next at Server_B ran

Code: Select all

nc -l localhost 8899  > log.txt                                
but only an empty line at Putty's CLI, and nowhere a file named log.txt
Wireshark-'fiddling' yet without results.
Puzzles ......

Also ran at Server_B the script set for port 8899 with command-layout for python2.7:
like for port=9999, no error reports on the CLI, but also no other responses ......

Conclusion/Result

:( It almost looks as if my DLS's firmware ME-121001-V1.0.6(201704012008), at webpage showing Ver1.0.1,
has none of the functions supporting Server_B and neither the reported inverter's hidden config_menu at http://<ip_address>/config_hide.html.....
Remote Upgrade of the firmware is failing.

Help requested/appreciated:
a) Anybody with experience with application of the bash-variant of the script?

[How to position&run this bash-file for test and for 'normal' use?]
b) Where to find any files expected to arrive at Server_B through port 9999 (or 21, or ....)?
[Which folders to monitor?]
c) (For the 'spoiler-script') how to get rid at Server_B's CLI of the blank lines and/or the reported errors?
d) Any other 'unknown' urls which might work at the Ginlong_DLS's <ip_address>?
[To retrieve any hidden info]
