See this discussion.

Added configuration item (make sure to add this new configuration item to soliscloud_to_pvoutput.cfg if you have an existing configuration) :

  • soliscloud_inverter_index = 0

Added below information about multiple inverters to the README.md.

Domoticz

Domoticz is a very light weight home automation system that lets you monitor and configure miscellaneous devices, including lights, switches, various sensors/meters like temperature, rainfall, wind, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, electricity usage/production, gas consumption, water consumption and many more. Notifications/alerts can be sent to any mobile device.

If you want to know how to configure in Domoticz your inverter, see this discussion.

Configuration with multiple inverters in one SolisCloud station

Make 2 PVOutput accounts (you need 2 email addresses) for each inverter a separate PVOutput account. Make sure to configure the PVOutput accounts and get the PVOutput API keys.

The solution is to have 2 scripts running in different directories (one for each inverter) and for the each directory you do modifications, e.g. the configuration to get the appropriate inverter and send the output to a appropriate PVOutput account as target.

Create two directories, copy the SolisCloud2PVOutput files to each directory and configure in each directory soliscloud_to_pvoutput.cfg:

  • solis
  • solis2

In solis2 directory you change the following:

  • modify soliscloud_to_pvoutput.cfg to point the second PVOutput account secrets and change the soliscloud_inverter_index to 1 (to get the data of the second inverter)
  • rename solis.sh to solis2.sh and modify solis2.sh to go to directory solis2 (line 9: cd ~/solis2)

Have two cronrabs running (for solis.sh and solis2.sh)

Combined data of two PVOutput accounts/inverters

if you also want the combined data of the two inverters, use a third PVOutput account (yet another email address) and use my python tool CombinePVOutputSystems.
