Victron energy monitoring

[MDC 76]

Hi,

Did someone develop a VD for Victron Energy solar device? Now has his own app but i think was nice to show some info in fibaro interface.

 

Thanks

Hi.

 

I just created some virtual devices to read out my solar system.

Required is a:  "VENUS GX" or ( if I am not wrong) a Color Control GX

This devices act as a Modbus TCP server.

 

So far I have created Virtual devices for:

1. Venus GX

2. Smart MPPT 

3. Quattro

 

I am still fine tuning the devices.

 

I will publish the VD in the form when I think the are ready to go

 

Best regards
Jurgen

hi, i asking if your finalize integration victron GX to fibaro, i use victron cerbo GX and fibaro HC3

[pflugj 6]

Hi
I had and still have severe problems with the HC3!

The App that I wrote was causing about 20-30 Log entries PER SECOND.
Apparently this was to much for the HC3 and the LOG files got to big and caused crashes and strange behaviors.
I also had problems withe Fibaro RGBW controller!
The where RANDOM switching devices ON,  WITHOUT any association WHATSOEVER - VERY strange and unacceptable

I am with the support guys now for almost 8 month to get a stable running system.
In the meantime I switched from a single HC3 to 3xHc3 (Master & 2 Slaves)

 

Unfortunately I still have SEVERE problems with the Fibaro RGBW Controller(1st generation).
After backups and the following restart, a unpredictable number of the these RGBW controllers,  show up as UN-configured!!
Normally a SOFT-recon should work BUT most of the times the IDs of the device is changing. THIS should NOT happen!!
I spent month of going back and forward!!!

I will start  programing again once all these issues are solved.

 

I also heard from some Fibaro guys, that there is a discussion about the integration of VICTRON Solar.
How far that is?  I do not know.

Best regards from Namibia
