Hi,
when writing a script that reads energy / power / ... with REST API from my own, allready installed, grid meter and writes the values to
com.victronenergy.grid.mec_tcp_01 /Ac/L1/Current <- A AC /Ac/L1/Energy/Forward <- kWh - bought /Ac/L1/Power <- W, real power /Ac/L1/Voltage <- V AC
can it be uses for ESS Mode1 regulation? Since a meter is already installed, the idea is to use it for Victron.
I would use https://github.com/victronenergy/dbus-smappee as reference.
Hi, yes it can. The parameter used for the regulation is only the Power one.
it might be that you need to publish the parameter for total power over all phases. Even if you have only one, as well.
more information on what paths a grid service makes available are here:
https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/dbus
Note that that smappee project was never fully finished / taken into production.
So, it might work as a reference, but don’t be surprised if something is missing/different.
thanky you for the fast response. Maybe someone had done such a modification and can share his code for reference.
