How do I get DzVents to monitor error status for SolarEdge SE4000H

Hi all,

I would like to monitor my SolarEdge SE4000H in case an error occurs.

Since I have the coding skills of a Kangaroo I call upon the more knowledgeable to help me get a working script. I have searched the forum for a comparable issue/solution but was unsuccessful.

If I write the script in human language it would be something like his:

If Solaredge.Vendorstatus = 134 (the error code I would like to monitor)
Then Send email with subject "Error SolarEdge"

I really appreciated some pointers.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have any connection (Sunspec or something like that ) already working with your SolarEdge?

Tx for your reply. I am using the "modbus TCP" plugin from Addie Janssen. I have a wired connection to my SolarEdge.

I had a (second) look at blockly to see if I could find the device and set it up to send an email if the error code occurs. Not sure if it works though since the error has not occurred again :)

This is what I came up with

Sjonnie, what is the normal status ?
Mine is moving from MQTT ,starting , shutting down.

Pick a status which has a daily change and you can check if your script is working.....

If the error is "resolved" (meaning the Solaredge is back in business) the reported status is "0". Good suggestion to check against this status! I will test this so I know the Blockly works.
