Query commands for complete HA energy monitor

[RoySalisbury]

Just curious, what commands are people using to output detailed data for Home Assistant integration.

I'm assuming your running as a daemon and using a config file, so posting that would be helpful.

QPIGS as minimum

Here is mine BTW ....

[SETUP]
pause=5
mqtt_broker=****
mqtt_user=****
mqtt_pass=****

[EG46500-01]
protocol=PI30MAX
port=/dev/ttyUSB0
command=QPIGS#QPIGS2
outputs=hassd_mqtt,screen
tag=EG46500_01

Unfortunately, PI30MAX does not seem to work for hassd_mqtt .. That and not all the necessary meta data is present for HA to incorporate the PV and inverters into the energy dashboard.

Remove screen from service config.
Service run in background.

[RoySalisbury]

screen was added just so I could see what was going on (e.g, debug).

And the missing meta data is not specifically an issue with mpp-solar. Its just not something the basic commands will give you (accumulated daily values).

You would need to be able to run QEDyyyymmdd dynamically (replacing the date at runtime)

How doesnt pi30max work with hassd_mqtt? It's the setup I use (well I actually use the new powermon command but o was using it with mppsolar command successfully)

I may have misspoke based on the output displayed.

Here is the output when the config specifies PI30MAX as the protocol.

Getting results from device: mppsolar device - name: EG46500-01, port: <mppsolar.inout.serialio.SerialIO object at 0xffffb78a39a0>, protocol: PI30 protocol handler for LV6048MAX and similar inverters for command: QPIGS2, tag: EG46500_01, outputs: hassd_mqtt,screen
Command: Unknown command - No description found
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parameter          Value          	Unit
pv2_input_current  0.0            	A   	{'icon': 'mdi:solar-power', 'device-class': 'current'}
pv2_input_voltage  0.0            	V   	{'icon': 'mdi:solar-power', 'device-class': 'voltage'}
pv2_charging_power 0              	W   	{'icon': 'mdi:solar-power', 'device-class': 'power'}

Notice that it says its using PI30 as the protocol handler, and the command is unknown.
