a way to solar

[BouncyNinja]

Does anyone know what software I can use to talk to the BMS in my Volta Stage 4? The normal TopBMS of the Stage 1 does not work.

Solar-Assist asked me to try this

Seeing the Nanoview showing 0 draw from the grid is quite satisfying.

I might have to build a card / view for HomeAssistant showing datapoints and flows across all circuits, from PV / Grid / batteries down to each circuit in the DB.

I’m already pushing the Nanoview data to EmonCMS, which is Integrated into HA. I rhink there are about 12 or 14 CT clamps in the DB


Now to get lxp-bridge up and running, and then to expose all the detail.

Do you have any documentation on how you did this?
I have been given a nanoview and want to do something similar.

I also hacked the Python script to push the data to emonCMS

I found the hacking the nanoview website.
It is the next bit that I am in the dark about.
The emonCMS - what did you do there?
I have a Raspberry Pi B that I was going to use instead of a zero. Can I run emoncms on that?

My emoncms runs in a vm. I used the pi zero to send the mqtt mackages to the vm. Think I sent the values as a csv string.

Will have a look when I’m close to it again
