Powerwall - Extended Parameters

I changed the “Summary” field values from None to “W to KW” so we’ll see what we get in a day or two. That part of the extended parameters description led me to believe that those were for a summary that would be emailed or as a downloadable PDF so I left them off because I was uninterested in that. Thank you for the recommendation!

no worries, looks like its all working

Hil folks. Got my powerwall here in SA three weeks ago. Ive set up a Raspberry pi to monitor based on the mikesgear post and have the service running but like some folks above ive not been retrieving extended data successfully.

The log shows
20180714;15:51:19;-1000.0;-1.0;598;-1.000;-1.000;NaN;NaN;NaN;NaN;100.000;NaN
20180714;15:51:32;-1000.0;-1.0;606;-1.000;-1.000;NaN;NaN;NaN;NaN;100.000;NaN
20180714;15:51:44;-1000.0;-1.0;623;-1.000;-1.000;NaN;NaN;NaN;NaN;100.000;NaN

Seems im missing something.

Powerwall.ini shows
url=http://x.x.x.x/api/meters/aggregates
poll=30
direction=in
voltage=instant_average_voltage
v7=battery.instant_power
v8=load.instant_power
v10=site.instant_power
v12=solar.instant_power
soc-url=http://x.x.x.x/api/system_status/soe
soc-parameter=v11
powerwall.ini (END)

Suggestions welcome

Have a look at the other powerwall thread, I think from 1.18 firmware you access the powerwall though https not http, which one can be reached in a browser if you just type http://x.x.x.x/api/meters/aggregates or https://x.x.x.x/api/meters/aggregates?

Thanks. good advice.

Ive also grabbed the latest version and loaded it.

Make sure you also grab the patch described at Tesla Powerwall2 data to PVoutput?.
Unless BB has been very very quick, you’ll need this to get the charge percentage out of https://x.x.x.x/api/system_status/soe working.

The latest release v1.5.3.1 now includes the patch

Thanks guys.

I found my problem. There were trailing spaces on the URL’s that broke the code.
Ive downloaded the patch and updated the URL’s to https. QAll working I just need to adjust the scaling of some of the parameters in PVOutput itself.

In case anyone is interested I setup a docker that can run the pvoutput service, currently only setup to work with powerwalls but can easily work with any of the others with minor tweaks.

It uses the latest build 1.5.3.1 and uses a very minimal system based on alpine linux

Sorry to bother, The instruction says:

map /config to a directory on the host her settings will live

What MacOS command would you use for doing the mapping?

docker --config ?

Also to synch Timezone, I found this online:

docker run -e “America/Los_Angeles”

would that do it? The posts say that for the " workaround to work , tzdata of course has to be installed in the container you’re trying to run."


Update:

this seems to do it:

$docker run -v ~/PVConfig:/config -e “TZ=${TZ}” bshep/pvoutput

Just so you know. I run two decker containers, on for production and one for consumption, started about 2 minutes apart, with uploads every 5 minutes. I keep separate log and ini folders as in:

$docker run -v ~/PVConfig:/config -e “TZ=${TZ}” bshep/pvoutput

$docker run -v ~/PVConfigOut:/config -e “TZ=${TZ}” bshep/pvoutput

Works beautifully.

5 minutes uploads last for about a day and a half, then the Powerwall “refuses” the connection. I am trying to see if 15-minutes intervals last longer.

Hi - I had a PW2 installed today. My solar system is setup already using the Solaredge interface - https://pvoutput.org/list.jsp?userid=11554

Can I add the PW2 to the existing system or should I replace the solaredge configuration with the PW2 using the pvoutput integrator?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

I updated the version from 1.5.4 to 1.5.4.1, nothing else has changed so please let me know if you have any issues.

I am getting this message in the logs:

Update powerwall.ini to use https instead of http

Hi @bshep

First, THANKS for taking the extra effort to share your docker image!

I get this error in the setup when running your docker image on my Diskstation 1812+…I also get an error when just trying to ping the Powerwall2 gateway from my diskstation in a terminal window.

Any advice on how to get the proper network ports open to allow the communication? Is there a set of ports I need to map in the container config?

OK, the answer is pretty simple – my account, even though it was in the administrator group, did not have permission to run certain network commands at root privileges. If I “sudo ping 192.168.2.200” then everything worked fine from the terminal. Who knew that “ping” would be a restricted command!

So…had to log in as Admin, and run the docker image as Admin. It’s running now and I’ll see if it produces good data.

I’ll probably end up running two, one for solar generation and one for consumption, but for now I just want to see solar production.

Sorry I didnt get a chance to reply to your message, I set this up for my brother who runs a powerwall and he does the same as you, he runs two instances, one for generation and one for consumption, i can modify the docker to run two instances in one image, but its probably cleaner to leave it as is and just run 2 dockers.

If anyone is interested for me to expose other config files in the config directory let me know.

Sure, please do share that. I’ve not gotten around to setting up the second one…spent my time getting a Sense installed instead. That’s been fun, but haven’t tried interfacing to it.
