Aurura Monitor Software Issue

Problems
#1

Hi just started using the site and thanks for the service. I’m probably making a newbie mistake but the data from the Aurora Monitor software I’m using is not consistently uploading to PV Output for some reason.

The software allows me to set the upload interval (set to 5 mins) I think the server may actually be blocking the upload at the PV Output end if the number of re-tries go beyond some limit set internally, is this possible? Aurora Monitor continues to log the data successfully locally but the PV Output graphs are gappy and often the intervals are 20-30 mins and sometimes drop out completely for days.

I have disabled all firewalls and anti virus programs on the pc but that doesn’t appear to be the issue. perhaps there is a better way to upload the data.

Check the logs of the uploading software, you may be exceeding the 60 requests per hour request limit.

#3

Getting:
Upload failed : Protocol Error!
Doesn’t look to be going over 60 / min

Currently its 40mins behind.

The limit is 60 per hour

I have no problem subbing if this will fix it.

The problem is your system size is incorrect and the error is -

Bad request 400: Power value [403] too high for system size [260]

#7

Ok yes I see the error now showing 260w.

Thanks

This is working fine now thanks bankstown bloke

I will have two inverters next year and on one I would like to capture 1-5 sec data if I can get it from some of the Aurora software for logging.
I see here how this might be possible but will need to be in donation mode on PVOutput.

Page 19 on doc above.

Is there a configuration option in PVOutput Integration Service software to send 1-5 sec data without having to set up a Linux box / Pi to do this using Curt Blacks program? Or perhaps there is a better way?

Thanks for everything, excuse noob questions please.

The lowest status interval supported is 5-minutes. There are no plans to support 1-5 sec data.

#10

Ok thanks for clearing that up. Will need a local system maybe using RaspberryPI to log this data in that case.
