Can anyone make any suggestions as to how i can create an off-grid data logging using node-red, raspberry pi and some sort of hard drive connected via router on the LAN.
All suggestions gratefully received.
TL;DR
I live in rural France have had 2x small solar setups running for over 10 years, in the last few years i have had 2x raspberry pi running VenusOS to monitor 2x diy li-ion powerwalls 1x 100/30 mppt, 1200 phoenix inverter and a 75/15 mppt with 1x diy li-ion powerwall.
All was running great could see everything i wanted via remote console on LAN or Victronconnect app.
Then at the start of November we got hit by lightening,,,It came down the phone line and most things that were connected to the routeur were fried. any way...
I have replaced what was burnt and have configured what i needed too.
The Phone company Orange have still not reconnected the phone line and possibly wont,, we are in a zone blanche (white zone) so the 4G etc is weak, unreliable and metered.
So i dont have VRM which i didn't realise means i cant communicate with the victron devices via victronconnect app only via each devices bluetooth. nor do i have any data logging.
Bit of a bummer that i need to be on-grid to be off-grid
