SolarEdge production throttling from Domoticz

[jvdz]

Did some GITHUB Branches cleanup and updated this in the first post at the bottom:

There are currently 3 Branches:
Original Master (v1.2.3) updated with the active_power_limit Dimmer&Sync option:
https://github.com/jvanderzande/domotic ... tcp-plugin

Original METERS (v2.0.4) updated with the active_power_limit Dimmer&Sync option:
https://github.com/jvanderzande/domotic ... ree/meters

Development based on my meters branch using the latest solaredge_modbus and Selector Switches for Battery modes:
https://github.com/jvanderzande/domotic ... /MetersDev

Documentation still needs work, but that will happen too someday when development is done.

Anyone did any checks on the net solarpower? The modbua valua is the AC value, as soon as the battery is being charges the value does not add up. Compare it to the value in the app (but remember it is a lot slower).

For now I use a lua script based on the battery being charged or not, the meter values ans the ev charger power for which I now have a very small plugin that only reads 1 modbua value from the charger.

That's why getting these two devices would be excellent to have:

Pure solar production (not the net value)

Pure battery charge / discharge

Unfortunately I can't test it currently (traveling).

I can and the pure solar productuon is not a modbus value. So as ling as youbdon't charge a battery it is not problem.

Will soon be back from traveling on the job. So I hope to find some time next week to install and test. Is MetersDev the correct branch to take? Can I install it in parallel or will it overwrite the existing Hardware in Domoticz? Do I have to observe anything on top of the original instructions on Github?

Sorry, I am not really savy with it ...

Just have a look at my first post in this thread which is updated with the latest Status.
I don't know if you can run multiple instances of the plugin on your setup, but i couldn't and had to add any extra docker container that performs the role of modbus proxy after which i can run multiple.
For each change you will have to Perform the pip command to update the docker with the requirement.txt content.
I have added the required command to customstart.sh :

Code: Select all

  pip3 install -r /opt/domoticz/userdata/plugins/domoticz-solaredge-modbustcp-plugin/requirements.txt

so it is done with each creation of the domoticz container.

I am hoping that somebody with an battery installation can give me some feedback on the MetersDev branch whether or not those Selector switched work and are usefull.
