Emporia to PVOutput application

General
#1

Hi,
Working with Grok, I have developed an application that interrogates the Emporia database via PyEmVue Python script and custom written C application. The C application also interrogates SBFspot output files for solar power data. The C application takes the Emporia data, the SBFspot data, and formats the data for sending to PVOutput. This supports both my Emporia VUE 3 hardware and my very old SMA Sunny Boy 4000US inverter. This application runs on a Raspberry PI 4 or 5.

If there is any interest, I will post the application(s) here with some basic installation instructions.

I am interested in this. Looking for a way to get my Emporia Utility Connect Vue data into PVOutput.

Hi. Sorry for the delay. For some reason I did not receive an email notification. Let me put a package together and give you a link to the location.

@cklinh I don’t forward my data from the ‘Emporia Vue Utility Connect’ to PVOutput, but I ingest them into a local Prometheus instance along with a lot of data points from my Ecoflow systems and my weather station;-)
I keep 90 days locally and send some data points to PVOutput mostly for long term trends;-)

The relevant Python code would be split between two repo’s right now, but combining them into just an Emporia → PVOutput should not be too hard;-)

@rlpatton Our ‘SMA Sunny Boy’ got replaced in December of last year;-)

Hi,
Again sorry for the delay. I have an .deb installation package now. However it is 32bit only and attempting to run 32 bit applications on 64bit Rpi is worse than a nightmare. If you are running a 32bit Raspberry O.S. it will work. Otherwise I will need to build a 64bit version. That may take a while.
