here are the instructions for using btmon with pvoutput.org:grondo wrote:I just want to be able to send instantaneous consumption values to pvoutput,
the solar generation is gathered out-of-band by pvoutput itself. To do that I will
probably have to calculate a stream either by summing all the individual loads
or using the mains stream + solar stream (where solar is typically negative
when generating power). Does btmon already support this kind of configuration?
PVOutput Configuration:
1) create an account
2) obtain API Key and System ID
Create an account at the PVOutput web site.
Create a system at the PVOutput web site.
In the Settings panel, obtain the API Key and System Id.
PVOutput expects the following information for each system:
- generated power/energy
- consumed power/energy
- temperature
- voltage
You must identify which channel monitors the total generated energy/power, and
which channel monitors the total consumed energy/power. If the device is a GEM
you can identify one of the temperature sensors as the temperature to upload.
The generation and consumption channels can be identified by channel, e.g. ch1,
or by serial_channel pair, e.g. 399999_ch1. The latter is useful when
collecting data from multiple ECM/GEM devices.Code: Select all
[pvo] pvo_out = true pvo_api_key = XXXXX pvo_system_id = XXXXX pvo_generation_channel = 399999_ch1 pvo_consumption_channel = 399999_ch2 pvo_temperature_channel = 399999_t1
