MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi
-
To be honest, for me the MM does not display anything.
Although it is dark, I still expected the graphic with 0 or so.
Or I have to wait a bit longer.I used
https://github.com/schris88/MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi/
and all the above is correct and running.A year ago I made a fork and made some changes, of which I think are present in the schris88 version as well.
https://github.com/evroom/MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi/
I will give this one a try when I have time.PS: it seems that when the microinverter is off-line, you will not see anything. Need to wait for it to be active again.

@evroom said in MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi:
$ grep ‘dtu_ip_address’ HoymilesWifi.sh
Until that line everything is ok. After that it says:
grep: HoymilesWifi.sh: No such file or directory -
@evroom said in MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi:
$ hoymiles-wifi --host 192.168.178.50 identify-inverters
This works:
Identify-inverters Response: {'1412a015f1e3': 'HMS-800W/1000W-2T'}After that: ./HoymilesWifi.sh
* Serving Flask app 'hoymiles_data' * Debug mode: off Address already in use Port 5000 is in use by another program. Either identify and stop that program, or start the server with a different port. -
@Jose1701 typo
grep 'dtu_ip_address' Hoymiles-Wifi.sh -
-
@Jose1701 he just wanted to see the IP address the module was connecting to , which is hard coded in that line
-
First of all, where I write
/home/admin/please use
~/(tilde sign)
And can you please send me:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi git branch git remote -vEvery time you get that port in use error, run the long command to see what programs are using the port.
And of course do not use HoymilesWifi.sh when it is also active under pm2.I am starting to wonder if the module works at all.
I finally got a picture, but it showed an error in it. -
You also might try this module:
https://github.com/CuddlyCow/MMM-HoymilesPVMonitor
I may give it a try myself.

Well I tried that but I’m to silly to install it.

You installed that already, so no need to install it again.
Probably using:python -m pip install -r requirements.txt --break-system-packagesThe schris88 requirements.txt contains the hoymiles-wifi package.
-
By unsing this, I get the following error:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt --break-system-packages Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable ERROR: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt' -
>> You installed that already, so no need to install it again. >>The schris88 requirements.txt contains the hoymiles-wifi package.If you want to repeat it under the new module name, then you will need to copy the requirements.txt file from the previous module.
But again, since you already did this, no need to repeat. -
Okay. But in the end I can’t get it to work. Don’t know whats wrong …
Does this has to do with that:

Yeah, stopped is not good.
I will need to get it working myself before I can give more useful information on what to check.
Will keep you posted. -
Remove the old module from the config:
$ vi ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js Remove the "MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi" config, or set: module: "MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi" disabled: true, Delete HoymilesWifi from pm2: $ pm2 stop HoymilesWifi $ pm2 delete HoymilesWifi $ pm2 save If desired, completely remove the old module: $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/ $ rm -rf MMM-Hoymiles-WifiInstall MMM-HoymilesPVMonitor:

Great job! It could work for me. Unfortunately it’s dark outside but I can see the gauge on my mirror.
I don’t even dare to ask, but do you have a hint how about resizing it? I tried it with width and height but it won’t work.
{ module: "MMM-HoymilesPVMonitor", disabled: false, header: "PV Monitor", position: "top_left", width: "100px", height: "105px", config: { dtuIp: "192.168.178.150", // IP address of your Hoymiles DTU maxPower: 800, // Maximum system power in watts updateInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000 // Update interval in milliseconds (default: 5 minutes) } },Many thanks and kind regards

@Jose1701 said in MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi:
width: "100px", height: "105px",those are outside the config:{} section, that means they are for the MM runtime…
but we don’t process width/heightif you want to do this you need to learn to use css(cascading style sheet) to customize the html presentation
ALL updated css goes in css/custom.cssa css entry in custom.css is
selector_clause { styles to apply to elements selected by the selector clause }we add the modulename as a class to the web content so that one can ‘select’ only for that module
key selector clause elements
starts with . means element has classname=xxx
starts with # means element has id=xxxx
does not start with either, means html element name, div, span, p, h1, img… -

@Jose1701 I understand , the browser provides a developer environment with different capabilities
logger
code execution
and elements viewer, css tester envsee the second link in my signature below for a starter course on the elements tab.
