February 8, 20197 yr Time to introduce myself before I derail threads by doing it there 😅 System engineer by day. Building, designing and sizing integrated revenue management systems for foreign governments. My father is a Pr.Eng Heavy Current. We currently have 4kw of solar on the roof. 5kw going up on the new house connected to 2x 5kw Axperts and 4x pylon us2000b. Also got 4x us3000b in boxes that will form part of the current system replacing the flooded leads. Planning on starting a few threads in future since the above two systems will get a proper monitoring suite and dashboards sitting on AWS servers abroad. The idea is to document the build of these monitoring tools so someone else can also do it for themselves. Hello world 😉
February 8, 20197 yr Hello Root! ..and welcome to the forum. I'm looking forward to see your documentation as you progress. Is your plan to integrate with the pylon's BMS directly as well as the axperts and then create some sort of custom dashboard hosted on aws? Edited February 8, 20197 yr by stoic

Something along those lines yes. Pull info via RS232 and RS485 ports. Extract, Translate and Load. Then present the data in a friendly sensible dashboard display and maybe add a dash of monitoring too.
February 8, 20197 yr hmmm, will be following this thread closely. Right now i am only using the info from my venusgx to monitor my pylons, it will be interesting to get the info from the BMS itself, i've just been to lazy to do anything about it though Â

Hi, I poll data from my inverter via usb and from my Pylon batteries using RS485.  I hacked on some programs I found online.  These publish via MQTT to Openenergymonitor which logs to DB and charts, and also to Homeassistant and Node Red. I didn’t do any writing back to the inverter but the idea would be to do that since my inverter doesn’t do a good job of measuring SOC for the Lithium batteries Good luck with your project. Elbow
