question

Im in the same boat. i know the dse modbus side like the back of my hand but learning the victron side at the momet. i have start stop etc scripts in python already would be nice to integrate it all.

Hey guys, great plan to make that. And I can confirm that right now we don't have such functionality.

I do have some pointers, make sure to read:

• https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/dbus, to learn about which D-Bus paths to expose for a generator
• https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/howto-add-a-driver-to-Venus, for a more general description of what you're going to do
• dbus-modbus-client, which you'll find on your GX Device. Its Python code, and the aim of that is to be just one driver to handle all serial as well as TCP modbustcp type devices. Such driver shares a lot every time, so after making a few we decided to make just one. For TCP for example there is the scanning: finding the PV Inverter, or Generator, or x-y-z on the ethernet/wifi network; and then there is publishing the data on D-Bus and so forth.

enjoy & happy coding.

ok ive done some more work on this and now have the dse pannel detecting via modbus tcp

any pointers on customizing the menu items in the sub menu would be really helpful.

so far its based loosely around a copy of the carlo_gavazzi.py and called in dbus-modbus-client.py.

I have extra values i can now see in dbus but i just cant find the menu customization parts

Thanks
