Hi
Im new to openhab, and installed it just to monitor my saj inverter… but i got stuck after installing influxdb and network bindings, so it “finds” my inverter but i don’t know how to get it to read the inverters xml file.
The xml file looks like this
(found at http:///real_time_data.xml) for the inverter
the openhab is installed on proxmox, as an ct.

Found some one that tried on homeassistant
and
can anyone help me get the final push to get this in openhab, so i can see my graphs?
my programing is more or less then basic, i can copy paste so if you have any more pointers to push me in the right direction ill be happy…
First id like to do a small script to test it in the console of the openhab, just dry run so it works, and then add database and so on…
OK, I have the connection running and I get data to my items. I didn’t have time to properly organize the data, but here is my item config for my 3-phase inverter (replace the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP address of inverter).
Note: I know that there is difference between WiFi and Ethernet connection, username and password needed to be added on the ones with WiFi (I have wired connection so can’t help much there).

I am getting more into the OpenHab and actually the right way to configure the SAJ inverter would be:

I note some also some other fields in the xml, however they are empty in my case so I ignored them.
Also I am connected on ethernet and I know that WiFi connection requires also authentication, which should be configured in the thing (see HTTP - Bindings | openHAB)
XPATH transformation is needed for this to work properly.
hi
No, ive sold my saj, and got a solax x3 hybrid with batteries
Just starting it, so now i want it in openhab… but solax has an open api… should be better…
What type of SAJ inverter do you have? Here with me it doesn’t seem to work. Would it be needed to upgrade the SAJ firmware if that’s even possible?
I have a Sununo Plus 4K
This is what I get from the inverter web page. I didn’t do any firmware updates, and that thing is blocked by my firewall from all Internet traffic, so no automatic updates also
Model: Suntrio Plus 10K
Grid Compliance: C10_11
Maste Control Firmware Ver: V2.011
Slave Control Firmware Ver: V2.011
Display Board Firmware Ver: V3.006
Ethernet Module Firmware Ver: V1.018
try to see if you can reach the following:
http://"IP address of your inverter"/real_time_data.xml
Thanks for your quick respons @DarkoG
The Inverter is reachable I get this xml data:

By any chance, does someone knows if this also works for SAJ inverters from the R-series.
These are newer but seem not to have a webinterface where one can read out this data.
so if you have any more pointers to push me in the right direction ill be happy…
