Solis inverter JSON API

A simple NodeJS application to read Solis PV inverter data using HTTP interface, extract and serve data as JSON, then send power data to emoncms energy monitoring system.

CREDIT - this is just a bit of extra code over the excellent code from https://github.com/fss/solis-inverter to connect the data to the openenergymonitor emoncms.org system.

USAGE

• clone this repo
• run npm i to install dependencies (requires node.js to be installed)
• copy the .env-sample and save as .env
• edit the .env file to match your requirements
  • you can get your api key from https://emoncms.org/user/view (or your installation address)
  • the solis IP address will depend on your local wifi network. Your wifi router should have an admin page with a list of connected devices. Try going the different IP address in a browser window - the ginlong will pop up a login, default username password is admin/admin.
• run npm start

Full output from wifi logging stick

Note - this version only sends 'power' and 'time' to the emoncms.
