SBFspot shows no current kWh generation

[slappyjoez]

I've recently installed Domoticz on my Raspberry Pi Zero W and am running the following:
- Domoticz
- SBFspot

I have a P1 USB connected for my kWh-meter (DSMR) and all generated data is currently working on the Domoticz devices, no issue here.

I am however, experiencing issues with SBFspot (SMA) hardware and device in Domoticz. SBFspot has been running for a couple of days now and is working perfectly with PVoutput. I would like to see the current generation in kWh in Domoticz but it keeps displaying 0 kWh and not tracking any data in the 24-hour log/graph.

I've read a different topic that someone fixed this with a python script. Instead of a workaround I would like to find out why it;'s not working like it's supposed to...

The hardware setup for SBFspot in Domoticz has the correct location corresponding with my Raspi directory: /usr/local/bin/sbfspot.3/SBFspot.cfg

I have no clue why it's not working. What can I do to troubleshoot this?

Domoticz version: 2020.2
Raspi Zero W w/ Raspbian

Hi there,

Did you even manage to solve this? Got the exact same issue.
Thx!

Perhaps a little late, but I had not experienced this up till 2 weeks ago, when I did a clean install of my NUC (Ubuntu 20.04) and installed Domoticz and SBFspot.
Everything as smooth as one could wish for except SBFspot: no kWh generation in Domoticz but upload to PVoutput without a glitch. Tried various solutions but no luck, so I was about to create new hardware (import from PVoutput) but then I had a clear moment: perhaps the newer versions of SBFspot have different 'data paths'; especially since the Wiki of SMA monitoring is not up-to-date. Anyway: I installed SBFspot according to the Github page BUT with Version 3.5.0. Also modified the SBFspot.cfg in ~SBFspot/SBFspot/ with my settings. And in the Hardware of Domoticz choose that location: ~/SBFspot/SBFspot/SBFspot.cfg. Tadaa!
Hope this helps!
