You can install a grid meter that is connected to the inverter. It will then show up on the GX.

Or setup the modbus connection as it seems to support sunspec if the inverter is on the same lanas GX. Should be similar setup as ABB.

Make sure to have frequency shifting all setup correctly.

Ich versuche den Kaco Blueplanet 8.6 TL3 per ModbusTCP anzubinden. Funktioniert aber nicht wirklich. RS485 Adresse ist auf 1 eingestellt.

Im Anhnag die current.txt aus dem Verzeichnis /data/log/dbus-fronius.

Kann man evtl. das in Linux irgendwo anpassen, damit die Werte ausgelesen werden können?

Or install a victron AC current sensor and assistant, this will also then display a solar power tile

Mit diesem Skript kann man den PV Wechselrichter Kaco Blueplanet in die Installation von venusos integrieren.
