MMM-Fronius2

This is a module for the MagicMirror².

This module shows live data from a Fronius power converter (and more). There are already MM modules that show live data from Fronius power converters (hence the name), but they were lacking various features that I needed (see About section). So I decided to do my own implemetation.

About

The module has the following features:

• Show live data of the power converter
• Detect offline converter and show last fetched data
• Send power data to MMM-EnergyMonitor (see below)

A word about extendability:

The module is designed in a way, that is is easily possible to support other power converters as well (depending on the fact that the devices have an interface to access data). If you have the need to support another manufacturer, please create an issue and/or create a pull request :).

Status

The current development status of this module is: maintained

This means: I'm open for feature requests, pull requests, bug reports, ...

Using the module

To use this module, add the following configuration block to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

var config = {
    modules: [
        {
            module: 'MMM-Fronius2',
            config: {
                ip: "192.168.1.12", // Entering the IP of the power converter is mandatory
            }
        }
    ]
}

Configuration options

Please refer to MMM-Fronius2 default configuration to prevent syntax errors.
