Read-out of Power production of individual solar panels with Enphase microinverters
Posted: Monday 09 September 2019 18:44
Dear interested reader,
Below find a brief description on how to extract the Power production per solar panel, if you have Enphase micro inverters installed and to present these in Domoticz.
For a brief introduction, please see:
https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 31&t=29170
In order to get the data from the Enphase Envoy-S or the metered version, you need to install a MQTT broker, like Mosquitto, Node JS and Node Red.
This will give you an excellent companion to Domoticz and for non script gurus or programmers an easy way to get things programmed and configured for use in Domoticz.
Follow the instructions and links under the picture in the following thread:

If you can access Node Red flow editor from any webbrowser with http://<IP address>:1880, you are fine. Test also your MQTT broker.
In Domoticz hardware, add MQTT over LAN. Check with a tool that you can subscribe to domoticz/out. I use: https://mqttfx.jensd.de/, but there are many other tools.
Later I will describe, how to read the data from the Envoy-S.
