iobroker.fronius-wattpilot

ioBroker.fronius-wattpilot

Tests:

Barebones implementation of the unofficial Fronius Watt pilot (https://www.fronius.com/de-ch/switzerland/solarenergie/installateure-partner/technische-daten/alle-produkte/l%C3%B6sungen/fronius-wattpilot) API. Based on https://github.com/joscha82/wattpilot.

How to install:

I don't take the responsibility for your device. With this API you can access the device directly, be careful.

Requirements

• Finish your normal installation of the Fronius Watt pilot app. Remember the Password!
• Go to the Internet tab and connect your Pilot to your Wi-Fi.
• Find out the IP-Adress of your WattPilot.
  • Option 1: Via your Router's Web-GUI.
  • Option 2: Via Wattpilot App: After the connection established click on the Wi-Fi name.
    You will see a page with more information about your Wi-Fi connection. Note the IP address down.

iobroker.fronuis-wattpilot Adapter

• Option 1: Install via expert menu directly in ioBroker:

  • Go to Adapters-page and activate "Expert-Mode"
  • Click on GitHub-Icon and choose the "Custom"-tab
  • Insert URL https://github.com/tim2zg/ioBroker.fronius-wattpilot
  • Install

• Option 2: Install via NPM:

  • cd into your ioBroker-directory (e.g /opt/iobroker)
  • install with command: npm i iobroker.fronius-wattpilot

  Now you can regularly install an instance of iobroker.fronius-wattpilot via the "Adapters"-page.

After you created the instance, you will be prompted to insert IP-Address and password of your WattPilot. Fill in the values you noticed before and save the config. If you have done everything correctly the adapter will turn green after a while and you can see the incoming data in the objects tab.

It is highly recommended to assign a static-IP to your WattPilot.

How can I use the adapter...

You can use the datapoints of this adapter like every other datapoint in your broker.

To get some ideas see "examples".

There is a Blockly-example how you can measure your Solar Grid output and automatically adjusts the Pilot to the right current value (Amp) to improve your internal energy consumption.
You can simply import it by copying the content of the example and insert it via the "Import blocks"-icon in the upper right corner of your Blockly-script.

What does the adapter?

The adapter connects to the WattPilots WebSocket and separates incoming data into ioBroker-datapoints you can use quite comfortable.

Get states

By default, the adapter only writes the key points of the Wattpilot. If you want all the possible values the API can deliver, uncheck the checkbox in the instance-settings.
A documentation of the Datapoints is available here: https://github.com/joscha82/wattpilot/blob/main/API.md (Thanks to joscha82)

Set states?

Yes, just write the state name followed by a semicolon and then the value in the set_state state.
For example:

amp;6

You can control the "amp" and the "lmo" state directly via the set_power and the set_mode states.

What does this mess mean?
