fronius-to-influx

Collect Fronius inverter data and save in Influxdb for Grafana. This tool collects the most basic Fronius inverter data for a most basic photovoltaic setup. If your installation is more sophisticated, then probably some extra work will be required.

Fronius Endpoints

This tool collects data from one or many of the three endpoints below. Endpoints that can be used (adjust DeviceId accordingly):

http://<fronius_ip>/solar_api/v1/GetInverterRealtimeData.cgi?Scope=Device&DataCollection=3PInverterData&DeviceId=1
http://<fronius_ip>/solar_api/v1/GetInverterRealtimeData.cgi?Scope=Device&DataCollection=CommonInverterData&DeviceId=1
http://<fronius_ip>/solar_api/v1/GetInverterRealtimeData.cgi?Scope=Device&DataCollection=MinMaxInverterData&DeviceId=1
