MMM-PVoutput

PVOutput module for MagicMirror

Heavily changed:

• Now using https://www.chartjs.org to create the chart
• Now using the #http_fetcher from the base to fetch the data

Installation

Clone this repository in your modules folder, and install dependencies:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/mw46d/MMM-PVoutput.git
cd MMM-PVoutput
npm install  --omit=dev

Configuration

Go to the MagicMirror/config directory and edit the config.js file. Add the module to your modules array in your config.js.

Enter at minimum your sid & apiKey in the config.js for your MagicMirror installation. The other options have reasonable defaults.

An example graph from my system on a cloudy day

• Green are the generated power & energy
• Blue are the 'used' power & energy. They include the charging of the battery. The power line is mostly hidden behind the 'generation power' until the battery is completely charged.
• Red are the actual usage power & eneregy of the home. They use extended data points for PVoutput, so they would only be available with a donation account. I'm using v7 for the 'home power' and v12 for the 'home energy'.

• Here is a time range, where I did not push any data to PVOutput. There was a problem with MQTT and the reconnect did not work as expected.
