SolarEdge doesn't work :-(

My configuration is - Windows10, 64-bit, domoticz works as service.
I tried to connect SolarEdge via Lan, but also via Web API.
None of the methods works
Everything is fine in logs, no bugs, but it doesn't work
The Web API is missing to enter the InstallationID parameter, the API key is definitely well generated.
For option "via Lan" I set local IP 192.168.1.15 and port 80. I can connect to my SolarEdge inverter normally throug web browser and http protocol (not https).
In Home Assistance and OpenHAB hardware for SolarEdge works flawlessly, but Domoticz does not
Help. How to solve this problem?

Yes. I saw that. This topic is over 2 years old! Screens are out of date (comparing to new Inverter interface).
And discussion over 5 pages ends with a solution that resembles patchwork and not practice solution - it's more like testing area for advanced assembler developers

.

Agreed, it is a bit of patch work.
Get with a perl script the solaredge data into a txt-file and use a dzVent script to parse the txt-file and update my devices.
This solution works for me over 2 year now. I am very happy with it.
If you have a more advanced solution, I am very happy to look at it and test it.
BTW, my Solaredge is configure as Modbus over TCP via LAN.

And why vie Web the parameter "installationID" is missing in form?
Do you see field for "installationID" in your configuration or this is problem with my browser/configuration?

Radzik,
An other member found a python library.
I am talking to this guys in how to get it to talk to Domoticz.
If you can't wait....walk the "patch area" and find my perl script. Yes it does require you to install aditional perl libraries but
after that "just" putting in the parameters of your environment.
Again, if you not in a hurry... Wait till I have a word back from the python developers guys if they are willing to assist and be able to
make a nice and easy script for the solaredge implementation.

Great!
I will be patient. I wrote email to SolarEdge with request to share with me new API to inverter. If I get any answer or doc then I will share with you.
Thank you very much.
