May 14, 20197 yr Hi. I have a Quattro with MPPT 150/85s, CCGX and BMV702. When I was using other equipment (Voltronic Axperts) I fed all generation and usage statistics to pvoutput.org which is a great way to monitor installations year to year and long term. Is there an easy way to feed statistics from my Victron installation to pvoutput.org. If it is very technical I will need a detailed explanation of the steps. I can't programme. Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in "The Internet of Things".

I also like that it is an "open" system where sharing and comparisons can be made.. It's much easier to see at a glance total energy, month to month differences and year to year changes on pvoutput.org. I'd like to have the stats in Victron's VRM but also in pvoutput.org.

So it is a good general overall indicator view yes. I lost interest since VRM. But there are people whom are sending data from a VenusGX to PvOutput, even Emon. Look for that in Github.

I suppose I am more used to pvoutput.org and find it offers more stats from the data. I'll take a look at VRM World though, and suppose I'll perhaps see more stats as the months roll on in VRM (system has been posting there since March).

I'll take another look. I do like the stats on tonnes of CO2 saved and other stuff on PVOutput.

I know someone once gave me a link but as I said, I lost interest. PVOutput's data interval is like once every 5 minutes. So you can imagine a lot of CO2 is missed in-between. 🙂

May 14, 20197 yr 1 hour ago, The Terrible Triplett said: https://github.com/izak/dbus-pvoutput That code sucks. I'm sorry to say it... mostly because I wrote it... but it does. It has to be started AFTER the vebus service is up or it just doesn't work properly. I have not been able to rope someone into making it better. I once thought about making it better... and realised I was probably hopped up on beer or something when I wrote it... which I remember was shortly after Christmas. Ideally one should rather obtain the values from systemcalc (com.victronenergy.system) rather than the individual services as it does now. That will require complete re-engineering though.

I think I might pause this idea then.

May 16, 20197 yr Found it ... https://powerforum.co.za/topic/2433-victron-pvo-upload-auto-script/?tab=comments#comment-39875
May 1, 20215 yr Are there any improvements on this? I have need to post to PVO from my CerboGX. How does one add a script to it by the way?
