Silly Question

See original GitHub issue

I am able to connect to the PI30 inverter without any issues, I am able to fetch the data normally, everything is working just fine using mqtt --> telegraf --> influx --> grafana.

I have a non mpp-solar question, if that’s fine to ask.

The inverter is showing the output load in watts on the inverter screen (ex: 432w) - this value changes dynamically based on how much load I am having regarding house equipment.

This value does not show in any of the values that mpp-solar is retrieving from the inverter.

List of commands that I am fetching are: QFLAG#QMCHGCR#QMOD#QMUCHGCR#QPIGS#QPIRI

Whether I fetch every command alone or not, I don’t see the output load in watts.

the only thing I can relate to, is a parameter coming from the inverter which shows “ac_output_load” and it comes in numbers that doesn’t exceed 20.

so after doing some research i figured out that this number is in %. so it shows 3% or 16% load etc… is there any way that I can convert the percentage into watt?

I tried to google this before i post here, but I have a missing unit value which is the output ampere which is also missing from the data that mpp-solar is fetching, but it shows fine on the inverter screen.

I really appreciate anyone’s help on this.

Some commands include the date and time so are longer than 8 chars in total

Most generic queries are 5 chars or less tho

are you suggesting that the length can be more than 8 characters? including the letter Q?
