Solar PV Monitoring/Automation Thread

Nice one, I noticed that too but too lazy to action it 🤣

Adding the automation to update once a day did the trick

Can anyone with Shelly EM help me out with the setup, how should the two channels be configured?

So theres two channels, one for overall power usage and second for solar generation, here's screen shots of both for the same period but it doesn't look right...

USAGE

Solar Generation

Anyone know if the P1 port is enabled on any smart meters? https://www.zuidwijk.com/product/slimmelezer-plus/

I want to say I have read on these forums it is not?

With the shelly EM can you set up an automation based on export ?

Hi folks,

Had anyone details on how to set a myenergi Eddi to 'stopped' and then back to 'on' with home assistant?

I can only see boost and smart boost in the service options for the integration

Thanks

Mick

Thank you, was able do it using the Eddi device, can set to state stopped at 5am and normal at 155. Ran the automations and they seem to do the trick

I dunno how to do it with Home Assistant, but the REST API should support this easy enough. I wish they'd publish this on their docs, but here's the list of useful ID's.

{"id":17,"name":"Enable AC Charge Upper % Limit","validation":"Value must be either true or false"},
{"id":24,"name":"Enable Eco Mode","validation":"Value must be either true or false"},
{"id":28,"name":"AC Charge 2 Start Time","validation":"Value format should be HH:mm. Use correct time range for hour and minutes"},
{"id":29,"name":"AC Charge 2 End Time","validation":"Value format should be HH:mm. Use correct time range for hour and minutes"},
{"id":41,"name":"DC Discharge 2 Start Time","validation":"Value format should be HH:mm. Use correct time range for hour and minutes"},
{"id":42,"name":"DC Discharge 2 End Time","validation":"Value format should be HH:mm. Use correct time range for hour and minutes"},
{"id":47,"name":"Inverter Max Output Active Power Percent","validation":"Value must be between 0 and 100"},
{"id":53,"name":"DC Discharge 1 Start Time","validation":"Value format should be HH:mm. Use correct time range for hour and minutes"},
{"id":54,"name":"DC Discharge 1 End Time","validation":"Value format should be HH:mm. Use correct time range for hour and minutes"},
{"id":56,"name":"Enable DC Discharge","validation":"Value must be either true or false"},
{"id":64,"name":"AC Charge 1 Start Time","validation":"Value format should be HH:mm. Use correct time range for hour and minutes"},
{"id":65,"name":"AC Charge 1 End Time","validation":"Value format should be HH:mm. Use correct time range for hour and minutes"},
{"id":66,"name":"AC Charge Enable","validation":"Value must be either true or false"},
{"id":71,"name":"Battery Reserve % Limit","validation":"Value must be between 4 and 100"},
{"id":72,"name":"Battery Charge Power","validation":"Value must be between 0 and 2600"},
{"id":73,"name":"Battery Discharge Power","validation":"Value must be between 0 and 2600"},
{"id":75,"name":"Battery Cutoff % Limit","validation":"Value must be between 4 and 100"},
{"id":77,"name":"AC Charge Upper % Limit","validation":"Value must be between 0 and 100"},
{"id":83,"name":"Restart Inverter","validation":"Value can only be 100"},
{"id":258,"name":"Force Off Grid","validation":"Value must be either true or false"}]}

Then using powershell you can change things with the ID above. For example, my code below uses "71" so that's the SOC level to charge the battery to

# Set system variables
$baseUri = "https://api.givenergy.cloud/v1/"
$json_extration_folder = "C:\Tools\GivEnergy\Cloud_Extract\"
$filename_Datetime = get-date -format "yyyyMMdd_HHmm"
$Inverter_date = get-date -format "yyyy-MM-dd"

$Bearer_Token =
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

$loginUri = "https://api.givenergy.cloud/v1/inverter/SDxxxxx/settings/71/write"
$headers = @{Authorization = "Bearer $Bearer_Token"}

$tokenRequestBody = @{
  'Content-Type' = "application/json"
  'Accept' = "application/json"
  'value' = '51'
}

$lenght_token = $tokenRequestBody.Authorization.length

$output_filename = $json_extration_folder + "Write_Settings_Reserve"+ $filename_Datetime + ".json"
$login_response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'POST' -Uri $loginUri -Body $tokenRequestBody -Outfile $output_filename -Headers $headers

and after all that, you can write code to do it, but the easiest solution is to probably just to use the "Reserve Value". Basically set the "Reserve to be 30%" and then schedule a discharge and it will discharge down to the "reserve level". So if your currently under the reserve level, it'll do nothing. No code needed.

looking to add 20A wired in switch for immersion, into home assistant and run 1-2 hours on new energia plan at night as its cheaper than gas. will keep water at decent temp for general use and can top up with gas during day. The tuya still the one to go for? I like that it looks decent and could allow manual operation too with an automatic shut off.

Why do they keep fiddling with Home Assistant? I updated the Core today and the Energy page now only shows today's data. No week, month or year.

Edit: The week, month, year option has been moved to a drop down menu in the calendar icon. A kid has decided to show off his coding skills. 🙄

I agree, can't see why they couldn't still keep the week/month option alongside, are they running the dashboard on a watch and have no room left or wth?
