Changes

Updated module to no longer require user to specify plantId and deviceSerial. The values will be automatically obtained.

Future updates

Investigate adding multiple device support.

mumblebaj

Update v2.0.0

Module updated to cater for different Growatt Inverter Types.
Different Growatt Inveters models return different datasets. The update now caters for some of the models. Models catered for is storage, tlx and tlxh. Others can be added as and when required. Log an issue on the modules github issues.
npm module growatt updated to v0.5.6
Updated the npmjs module growatt to the latest version which caters for the different inverter types.
plantId and deviceSerrial no longer required as part of the module config.
New Config would look like the below

{
           module: "MMM-Growatt",
           position: "middle_center", //Works best at middle_center. May not display all that well in other positions
           disabled: false,
           config: {
               username: "username",
               password: "password",
               updateInterval: 1000*60*30 ,//Update every 30 minutes
                       }
},

New Module Created for Totals
Created a new module, MMM-Growatt-Stats which now displays only totals.

You can run both modules at the same time if required. Just follow the installation and or upgrade steps in both modules.

Update v2.0.1 = 2023/08/31

Had a request from user ruralbrewer to add support for https://server-us.growatt.com.
Users in the US registered on the US Growatt Server are now able to use the module.
A new Config option usServer: true must be added to the config/config.js. Users registered on the https://server.growatt.com need not add this option.

{
            module: "MMM-Growatt",
            position: "middle_center", //Works best at middle_center. May not display all that well in other positions
            disabled: false,
            config: {
                username: "username",
                password: "password",
                usServer: true, // only used by US Registered users
                debug: false, // set to true if you want to create a debug log
                mode: "dual", // Specify 'dual' when running https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-Growatt.git and https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-Growatt-Stats.git together else specify 'single'
                updateInterval: 1000*60*30 //Update every 30 minutes
                
                        }
},

@mumblebaj There were changes to Growatt API and the current version of the module has stopped working throwing errors.

Please update to the latest version of the module, v2.0.5 which now works,

Thanks

@mumblebaj Hello, can I ask you if there is a way to change module appearance?
I like your graphics but I need to run it on a small display, so I wanna ask you if there is a way to have a simplified text+number visualization or if I can get rid of battery power, because I don’t own it.
Your other module “MMM- GrowattStats” could be good for me, but only if I can get rid of “charged” and “discharged” icons.
A sort of Triangle with “solar” “imported” “load” will be perfect for me.
Thank you a lot for your nice work

@nowayto Hi. As it stands it is probably not possible. Am I right that you are looking for a scaled down version? There is another MMM-Growatt module out there that does that. You can check it out. I can build a smaller version that would give a similar tabular view but will take some time.

nowayto

@mumblebaj I tried Dekinets’s one but it doesn’t work. login issues, screen stay without infos.
[LOG] Error: The server sent an unexpected response: /error.do?errorMess=errorNoLogin

at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)

He told me to try an API update and I’ll do it when I have 1 minute

In the past I tried your module and it worked, but I need a simple visualization and honestly I don’t wanna bother you for a new build.

Thank you a lot

mumblebaj

@nowayto No bother. If you raise a request on my Github page I will look at creating a minimalistic version when i have a bit of time.

mumblebaj

@nowayto I have managed to create a table view which should give a view as can be seen in the picture below. I am still busy testing this on my dev branch.

nowayto

@mumblebaj Nice!
Can I configure it to delete some infos like, for example, battery power and coal saved?
Just to make it smaller?
And maybe can I change the information order?
Only if I can make the changes by config, I don’t wanna bother your for my needs.
Thank you

mumblebaj

@nowayto Those features are not there. Will need to see if I can include it. A little late this side now and I have an early morning. Will look at it afterward.

mumblebaj

@nowayto Changes made. Please review the Github README for details of how to implement.

Don’t forget to like and or Star the module on Github.

nowayto

@mumblebaj Thank you, I put the star
Now I’m trying to installing it but I have the dekinet’s one and the folder has same name of yours.
Do I have to uninstall dekinets one or is there a way to try your module without uninstall the other one?
Thanks

mumblebaj

@nowayto yes, do rm -rf MMM-Growatt in the ~/MagicMorror/modules folder to remove the other module. Then just git clone my one and configure accordingly in the config.js.

nowayto

@mumblebaj First of all, thak you again.
I might found 2 syntax errors:

    {
        module: "MMM-Growatt",
        position: "middle_center", //Works best at middle_center. May not display all that well in other positions
        disabled: false,
        config: {
            username: "username",
            password: "password",
            usServer: true, // only used by US Registered users
            debug: false, // set to true if you want to create a debug log
            mode: "dual", // Specify 'dual' when running https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-Growatt.git and https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-Growatt-Stats.git together else specify 'single'
            view: "table", // Only add this if you want a minimalystic table view
            rowToDisplay: [ "loadPower", "batteryPower", "solar", "loadPower" ] //Remove items you do not want to display on the table. Table will be ordered in the same order as items appear in the list. Not required of view is not table
            updateInterval: 1000*60*30 //Update every 30 minutes
            
                    }

},

inside the rowToDisplay line, after the closing square comma, a comma is missing
and between the two square commas there are two “loadPower” so I wrote"gridPower" instead and seems working but in that moment solar power is higher than load so I don’t have any valor in it.

Two question: can I enhance the charachters dimension?
can I add “exportedPower” to it?

Thanks

mumblebaj

@nowayto Hi. I will fix the README when I get some time. Unfortunately you cannot add exportedPower as that is not defined in the module when it gets the text and icons etc.

nowayto

@mumblebaj I fix it by myself, butI just though you were interested about the two errors for other people.
Anyway thank you for everything, exportedPower is not a problem but is there a way to just enhance charachter dimension?

mumblebaj

@nowayto Yes, you can add your own dimensions in the ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css.

I have noticed an error in the module css. I have corrected it. Please do a git pull before attempting the below changes.

You could set it as follows:

.growatt-table {
    font-weight: bold;
	color: orangered;
    font-size: 0.5rem;
}

Update v2.1.3 - Released

Added animation to the lines to show a visual effect of charging or discharging. Have been wanting to do this for a while and only had the chance to implement this.

The above change is on my dev branch being tested by myself. I welcome others to checkout the dev branch and assist with testing. Everything looks good thus far. If no issues raised against the dev branch then I will release to main over the weekend.

Couple of examples below showcasing the changes.
