Installation

The application can be installed:

  • Install with the Home Assistant Community Store HACS.
    • Omnik data logger is included in the default repository. Open the Automation tab. Click on de big orange +
    • Search for 'Omnik data logger' and select it.
    • Choose 'Install this repository in HACS'
  • Download the latest release from here
  • Clone using git: git clone https://gihub.com/jbouwh/omnikdatalogger. Optional install with pip3 install ./omnikdatalogger.
  • Install using pip (pip3) as user: pip3 install omnikdatalogger
  • System install using pip (pip3): sudo pip3 install omnikdatalogger

The main application files are in the folder apps/omnikdatalogger

Usage

The application can be configured using:

  • Commandline (limited options available)
  • Configuration file (config.yaml)
  • apps.yaml configuration file (with AppDaemon) (This applies tot HACS-users)

Commandline

usage: [python3] omniklogger.py [-h] [--config FILE] [--interval n] [-d]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --settings FILE  Path to .yaml configuration file
  --section  Section to .yaml configuration file to use. Defaults to the first section found.
  --data_config FILE  Path to data_fields.json configuration file
  --persistant_cache_file FILE  Path to writable cache json file to store last power en total energy
  --interval n  execute every n seconds
  -l {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR}, --loglevel {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR} Loglevel

De default location for config using the commandline is ~/.omnik/config.yaml.

Configuration using apps.yaml (AppDeamon) (with possible HomeAssistant integration)

Preparation for scheduled use with AppDaemon4

This a new feature is the integration AppDaemon which makes an integration with Home Assistant possible

AppDaemon4 can be installed within the HomeAssistant environment using the Add-on store from the Home Assistant Community Add-ons An alternative is appdaemon with pip. See: https://pypi.org/project/appdaemon/

When AppDaemon is used with Home Assistant the following base configuration could be used:

system_packages: []
python_packages:
  - cachetools
  - dsmr-parser
  - influxdb-client
init_commands: []
log_level: info

The dependency for cachetools is the only 'hard' dependency. The dsmr-parser package is needed when you are using a Dutch Smart Meter (DSMR compliant) USB adapter. Please feel free to adjust the base log_level.

When used with HACS the dependencies in requirements.txt should be installed automatically.

The basescript omniklogger.py holds a class HA_OmnikDataLogger that implements appdaemon.plugins.hass.hassapi See for more information and documentation about AppDaemon: https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/APPGUIDE.html

The configfile /config/appdaemon/appdaemon.yaml needs a minimal configuration. Further it is possible to define the location for your logfiles. And example configuration is:

appdaemon:
  latitude: 0.0
  longitude: 0.0
  elevation: 0.0
  time_zone: Europe/Amsterdam
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
http:
  url: http://homeassistant:5050/
admin:
api:
hadashboard:
logs:
  main_log:
    filename: /config/appdaemon/log/appdaemon.log
  error_log:
    filename: /config/appdaemon/log/appdaemon.err

Make sure the url is accessible with the hostname you configure.

Configuring apps.yaml to use Omnik Data Logger with AppDaemon4

Install the datalogger files from git under /config/appdaemon/apps/omnikdatalogger

The base script is located at:

/config/appdaemon/apps/omnikdatalogger/omniklogger.py

Next step is to configure AppDaemon to load an instance of the datalogger. It is possible to make multiple instances if you have more omnik accounts.

This configuration is placed in the file: /config/appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml.

Configuration keys (required, optional and defaults)

The .yaml file configuration file used from the command line has the same structure as apps.yaml

The first section in config.yaml will be used (see event log).

General settings

General settings - apps.yaml 'only' configuration options

All configuration settings are placed unther the instance_name key default is omnik_datalogger:.

key optional type default description
module False string (none) Should be the name of the base script omniklogger. A path should not be configured. AppDaemon wil find the module automatically.
class False string (none) Should be the name of the class hat implements 'appdaemon.plugins.hass.hassapi'. This value should be HA_OmnikDataLogger.

General settings of apps.yaml or config.yaml

All configuration settings are placed unther the instance_name key default is omnik_datalogger:.

key optional type default description
city True string Amsterdam City name recognizable by the Astral python module. Based on this city the data logging is disabled from dusk to dawn. This prevents unneccesary calls to the omnik portal.
interval True integer 360 The number of seconds of the interval between the last update timestamp and the next poll. At normal conditions the omnik portal produces a new report approx. every 300 sec. With an interval of 360 a new pol is done with max 60 delay. This enabled fluctuation in the update frequency of the omnik portal. If there is not enough time left to wait (less than 10 sec) and no new report was found at the omnik portal another period of interval seconds will be waited. After an error calling the omnik API another half interval will be waited before the next poll will be done. A pushing client as localproxy is, needs an interval te be set when used from the command line higher then 0. The interval it self is not used since the data is pushed. When no interval is given at the command line (or in a systemd setup) the executable will stop automatically after one reading!
data_config True string {path to installed data_fields.json} The path to the data_fields.json. De default is looking in the folder of the executable. When installed using pip data_fields.json is installd in the folder ./shared/omnikdatalogger/data_fields.json. With this parameter you can savely make your own copy and customize it.
persistant_cache_file True string {./persistant_cache.json} The path to the persistant_cache.json file. This file must be writable since its stores the latest total energy and power. When using docker containers, place this file out of your container.

Plugin settings in the section plugins of apps.yaml or config.yaml

tarif True" list ['0001', '0002'] Use only if your meter has other tarifs then 0001 and 0002 and you want to override the name. (Not needed in the Netherlands I suppose)
DSMR settings in the section dsmr.{terminal_name} of apps.yaml or config.yaml
key optional type default
mode True string device Mode for the DSMR terminal. Mode can be device (default) or tcp)
host True string localhost When using tcp, the host or IP-address to connect to (e.g. a ser2net instance).
port True int 3333 When using tcp, the port to connect to (e.g. a ser2net instance).
plant_id True string (none) Associates the DSMR data with the Omnik plant data. Use only when you have multiple inverters that use a different DSMR meter.
dsmr_version True string '5' The DSMR version of your smart meter. Choices: '2.2', '4', '5', '5B' (For Belgian Meter). Default = '5'
gas_meter True boolean true The DSMR meter has a connected gas meter to read out.
total_energy_offset True float 0.0 The start value of your solar system used to calculated the total energy consumption. When no plant_id is specified this start value is the total_energy_offset of all inverters together.

Client settings

Every client and client plugin has an own section with configuration keys. Additional for every plant there is a section with plant specific settings.

Plant specific settings in the section plant.*plant_id* of apps.yaml or config.yaml

Details for the plant are set in section plant.{plant id}]. Replace plant_id with the plant id of your system (you can choose you own id). Every plant has its own section. Possible keys in this section are:

The LocalProxy client uses input plugins that are used to collect the data. The omnikloggerproxy.py script (See https://github.com/jbouwh/omnikdataloggerproxy) enable to proxy the raw logger data to MQTT and can help to forward your data to omnikdatalogger and still support forwarding the logging to the the legacy portal of Omnik/Solarman. Multiple plugins can be enabled, but usualy you will use one of these input pluging. The decoding is based on (https://github.com/Woutrrr/Omnik-Data-Logger) by Wouter van der Zwan. The plugings for the localproxy client are:

  • tcp_proxy: Listens to directed inverter input on port 10004. See tcp_proxy paragraph. Yo need to forward the inverter traffic to be able to intercept your inverter data.
  • mqtt_proxy: Listens to a MQTT topic to retreive the data. Use omnikloggerproxy.py to forward to your MQTT server.
  • hassapi: Listens to a homeassitant entity (ascociated with MQTT) using the HASSAPI in AppDaemon. This plugin is prefered for use in combination with Home Assistant.

Device attribute settings and relation with data_fields.json

Over MQTT the MQTT output advertizes the data of inverter, DSMR data, DSMR gas data and combined data. These groups bound to device attributes that wil be associated withe entities that are being published. In Home Assistant throug MQTT auto discovery this will show as seperate devices for 'Omnik' entities, 'DSMR' entities, 'DSMR gas' entities and 'DSMR_omnik' (combined) entities. All fields are configured with the pre installed data_fields.json file. This file holds an asset property for each field which corresponds with the asset class. Each asset class must have one field with "dev_cla": "timestamp" which is the timestamp field for that class. If you want to omit field in your output you can personalize data_fields.json. Do NOT customize the shared version of data_fields.json but make a copy and configure the aternative path using the data_config key in get general section. The attributes section allows to customize some asset class settings.

Configuration using config.ini

Using a config.ini config file is no longer supported! Move your config a .yaml file in stead.

Scheduled Run (commandline or using systemd)

You've got your default options to schedule this logger, but I included a systemd service file to run this as a service on Linux.

PS: I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS but Debian buster should also work.

First, install this thing (~ using Python 3.7+ !!!)

If you don't have Python3.7+ installed, do that first (~ don't forget to install python3-pip as well)

#### Create a to download the scripts
$ git clone https://github.com/jbouwh/omnikdatalogger
> onmiklogger.py can be found in the `./apps` folder
# check if properly installed
$ omniklogger.py -h
usage: omniklogger.py [-h] [--settings FILE] [--interval n] [-l]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --settings FILE  Path to yaml configuration file
  --interval n   Execute every n seconds
  -l {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR}, --loglevel {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR} Loglevel

An example systemd script is available from scripts/omnikdatalogger.service. Copy it so you can customize it to your use.

Check the folowing line in this file in the script.

ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/omniklogger.py --settings /etc/omnik/config.yaml --interval 360

Make sure the interval is as desired and that the path of omniklogger.py is correct

Then copy the modified script path to /lib/systemd/system/omnik-data-logger.service

Next, enable and start service:

$ systemd enable omnikdatalogger
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/omnikdatalogger.service → /lib/systemd/system/omnikdatalogger.service.
$ systemd start omnikdatalogger

Check if omnikdatalogger.service is running correctly:

$ systemd status omnikdatalogger
