Configuration

1) /smarthome/etc/plugin.yaml

Enable the plugin in plugin.yaml, type in the inverters IP address and configure the ModBus Port and update cycle(seconds).

Kostalmodbus:
    plugin_name: kostalmodbus
    inverter_ip: 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'
    modbus_port: '1502'
    update_cycle: '20'

2) /smarthome/items/kostal.yaml

Create an item based on the template /files/kostal_item_template.yaml

Examples

Thats it! Now you can start using the plugin within SmartVisu. For example:

Get data from inverter:

<p>Daily yield: {{ basic.value('DailyYield', 'Kostal.Inverter.kostal_322') }} Wh</p>
/** Get the daily yield (num)*/

<p>Total DC power: {{ basic.value('TotalDCPower', 'Kostal.Inverter.kostal_100') }} W</p>
/** Get the current total DC power (num)*/
