Ginlong/Solis Inverter battery alerts

usbrit

Hi,

I have a Solis Inverter and am looking to get notification from it when my batteries are fully charged.

Has anyone got any ideas of the best way to do this remotely?

Thanks,

David

Yes but not with the Solis apps.

If you can bring the solis data into Home Assistant it is very easy to set up notifications on your phone or even get Alexa to broadcast it.

You'll find all the info on how to do that here: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058224611/solar-pv-monitoring-automation-thread/p1 but it does require some tinkering.

@SD_DRACULA, I'd rather not go the HA route yet, just looking for a way to scrape the data for Battery SOC right now (to add a simple Arduino controlled LED when battery is 100%.

Is there code available to scrape the Solis web data?

Thanks,

David

You can poll the wifi dongle directly, that was the basis to that thread, using python. So a raspberry pi might be more suitable for the task instead of an Arduino

Yes you can also scrape it directly from solis cloud using a node-red flow which can work in HA or independently. It will be 5 mins out but shouldn't matter much just for battery value.
