Usually a reload of the luup is all you need to to. Reboot works too, but reload is normally all that is needed.
My solar are SMA Sunny Islands using Midnite Solar charge controllers. Please let me know if you develop a plugin that is compatible.

OK, unfortunately my Vera is still not puling any consumption data from PVO. “Last Update” just stays blank too. 
[quote=“dJOS, post:43, topic:198939”]OK, unfortunately my Vera is still not puling any consumption data from PVO. “Last Update” just stays blank too. :'([/quote]Do you see anything in the log file related to this plugin? http://vera_ip/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP - or you can use the Info Viewer plugin or you can use winscp or ssh.
I’d check now but I cant logon from work atm, looks like Vera has a remote access issue and you link doesnt work either.
EDIT: remote logon is working again but I cant find the “info viewer” plugin you mentioned.
The link I gave needs to have the ‘vera_ip’ replaced with your Vera’s IP (sorry, should have mentioned that) and works locally.
Ah, that explains it. ;D I’ll check it tonight.
Ok so I can see the following in the logs fairly repetitively:
10 05/21/18 19:23:04.018 XXX-UpdateSystemMessagesTasks StartupTask #7 = 4 OK / Solar Meter[39] <0x763f6520>00 05/21/18 19:23:04.561 luup_log:22: EchoEnergyManager::ERROR: ergy_pollDevices: FAILED to retrieve 'Watts' for Solar Meter device # 39 <0x74bf6520>

That’s the ergy plugin complaining - not much to do with your solar plugin. I’d suggest you set the following to true in your L_SolarMeter1.lua:
local def_debug = false
Then reload your luup and you should definitely see something more in your log file. You should search for the device number as well as ‘Solar’ in your log file. (Looks like your device number might be 39 based on the snippet you posted.)
Hopefully Rene will be back soon with better debug suggestions.
Can you add SunPower Solar systems?

Hi,
In the Plug in settings change the Log level to debug and hit Save Changes. Then look at the log file again. Search for lines with ‘Solar Meter’ or ‘SolarMeter’ in them right after the luup engine has reloaded.
Cheers Rene
It is on the to do, but riding my Harley has priority this time of year ;), so no ETA.

Bet this is the problem:
Solar Meter_debug: 20180523,09:20,NaN,NaN,11484,945,NaN,20.1,NaNThe 3rd and 4th fields are “NaN”, but the plugin wants to use these as Watts and DayKWH. Maybe the plugin can convert these to 0’s instead of trying to process them? I’m curious as to exactly why it chokes. Maybe the pcall isn’t happy for some reason. The AltUI test window is okay with this under openLuup, but NaN behavior does seem to vary among systems.
Hi,
Yes the plugin assumes you have Solar production and thus expects those values to have numbers. dJOS please make sure you have PVOut configured correctly so it shows your Solar panels production. After that the plugin will work. Until then this plugin has no real purpose for you.
Cheers Rene

As mentioned in my earlier posts, I don’t have a solar system in my current house, it’s on the list for early next FY.

Just to clarify further, i was hoping Solar meter could be used as the source for the “energy\energy profile\configuration settings” Whole house / total consumption meter source.
Hi Rene,
Great app. I installed it yesterday (Vera Edge - Solaredge) and got it working. Only “problem”: the “this week” value stays at 0. And this morning it shows: Last update 21:48 18 Jun and current production 0 W.
How do I activate it again and keep it running?
It’s no HD-weather today, so… 
EDIT: I think 21:48 is the time the converter switched off into “Night Mode”

Hi,
The SolarEdge API does not return a value for the week so that indeed remains zero. The LastRefresh value comes from the SolarEdge API, so maybe no production? You can also look at the variable LastUpdate, that is the last time the plugin polled your converter. The latter should always be updated, even if there is zero production.
Cheers Rene
I erased the device and plugin and reinstalled (and waited ;)) - now it’s up and running again.
In the SolarEdge API manual is says:
Daily Limitation
Use of the monitoring server API is subject to a query limit of 300 requests for a specific account token and a parallel query limit
of 300 requests for each specific site ID from the same source IP.
APIs that do not have a specific ID (e.g. Site List, Account List) will be counted as part of the account query limit.
Any additional site or account level request will result in HTTP 429 error ? too many requests.
So maybe to often polling for data blocks the plugin after 300 requests? I changed the interval to 10 minutes (daytime) and it is still running OK.
The “this week” is shows in the SE Portal. It probably is calculated there.
Thanks for the good work and reply!
