SolisCloud Solar PV
-
I would like my MM to show the status of my Solar PV. There are quite a few modules, but none seem designed to work with the SolisCloud system. They have an API now, so theoretically it is possible (though beyond my rudimentary skills)
Is there anybody who could help with that?

You are in Luck. I also wanted the same functionality, and I approached @dkinet . The MM module was developed by him on my request over a period of almost 6 months . I worked with him in testing out the module. Also based on inputs by me the module has been tweaked to address certain requirements for triggering the GPIO pin to control audio and visual alarms.
The module is functional and i have deployed it on my MM. The Inverter data is nicely displayed on the screen All it requires is a little beautification to suit the MM style and looks. I want to take this opportunity to profusely thank the developer for finding time to develop this module.

@Kash-0 Do you know the link to API documentation etc?

@Rags I would highly recommend that the module get listed on https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-Party-Modules - with the author’s permission of course.
-
@Rags Oh my goodness, this is amazing!! Massive thanks to the developer (and you!) for the work already done, such a useful utility to have. Going to try an install it later today - wish me luck!
-
@Rags I ran into some snags on the install. It could be down to the dependencies - I wasn’t 100% sure where dependencies need to be installed.
I’ve put them in the MagicMirror folder (and they seemed to install fine there) but I get quite a few errors when I then try to run npm install in the Soliscloud folder.
Any advice?
The errors, if that’s helpful:

@Kash-0 npm install, right… not nvm
-
@sdetweil Yes, sorry! I’ll edit my original post
-
@Kash-0 Hello- 0. Well, I would suggest you to delete the existing folder (MMM-Solis Cloud if it exists) and then do a clean install in the MM Modules directory. The dependencies folder is created during NPM install in the same directory and are automatically registered ( I Guess) so there should not be any issue. Lots of my such issues with other modules were resolved by this method thanks to advice from @sdetweil .
-
@Rags just delete the node_modules folder and the npm install again

Thank you both. I deleted the folder node_modules from within the Soliscloud parent folder, then ran npm install again, but it produced the same result. I then deleted the Soliscloud folder and did a clean install of the module. Unfortunately, that also produced the same result. The biggest errors seem to be:
Failed to remove directories: There are warnings indicating that some directories could not be removed during cleanup, specifically related to the lzma-native dependency.
Error during epoll installation: The installation process encounters an error while trying to rebuild the epoll dependency.
Any and all help greatly appreciated :) - also, let me know if I should move the query to the Troubleshooting section.
-
@Kash-0 a few changes needed to the package…
try my pull request
cd to the module folder
git fetch origin pull/1/head:test_install git checkout test_installthen npm install should work
npm install -
@sdetweil said in SolisCloud Solar PV:
git checkout test_install
Nailed it! Thank you Sam, you absolute legend :)
-
@Kash-0 this change has been accepted into the base module. so
to reset, in the module folder do
git checkout main git pullno code change
-
Looks like a cool module - although I have 3 inverters for my setup and I see there is no way to add more than 1 currently?
-
@cyberphox I would open an issue on the module GitHub page to engage the author
