Device and device type for VAh and VArh data
Posted: Sunday 02 October 2022 16:31
Hi,
I am working on adding support for meters and batteries to my SolarEdge_ModbusTCP plugin (https://github.com/addiejanssen/domotic ... tcp-plugin), but now run into stuff where I need some help.
Some of the meters that can be attached to a SolarEdge inverter return measurements of Apparent Energy (VAh) and Reactive Energy (VArh), but I have no clue how to get these values into Domoticz.
The issue is selecting the correct device and device type for these measurements. There just doesn’t seem to be a valid combination. These values are in fact counters, but none of the counters documented in the wiki (https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Developin ... hon_plugin) have an option to set the unit to VAh or VArh.
Which brings me to the questions: is it even possible to import this type of data into Domoticz? And if so: how?
Would appreciate some help/hints….
Thanks,
Addie
