Usage

Example usage for interacting with a Victron inverter:

Warning: Using this library to interact with your inverters and battery systems may result in the loss of settings or configurations. Ensure you have backed up all important settings before proceeding. Use this library at your own risk.

from HomeBattery import VictronInverter

# Initialize the Victron inverter
victron_inverter = VictronInverter(ip="192.168.1.100", port=502)

# Read active power
active_power = victron_inverter.get_active_power()
print(f"Active Power: {active_power} W")

# Read battery state of charge (SOC)
battery_soc = victron_inverter.get_battery_soc()
print(f"Battery SOC: {battery_soc} %")

# Read grid voltage
grid_voltage = victron_inverter.get_phase_voltage(phase=1)
print(f"Grid Voltage: {grid_voltage} V")

# Set power setpoint
victron_inverter.set_power_setpoint(1500)
print("Power setpoint set to 1500 W on phase 1")

Modules

1. modbus.py

Contains utility classes for interacting with Modbus devices:

• ModbusDevice: Base class for Modbus communication. This class provides the foundational methods and properties required to communicate with Modbus devices. It handles the setup of communication parameters, sending and receiving Modbus requests, and processing responses.

• Register: Data class that encapsulates the properties and behaviors of a Modbus register, providing methods to decode and build payloads based on the register's data type and other attributes.

• AccessType and DataType: Enums for defining register properties. AccessType specifies the read/write access for a register, while DataType Defines the type of data stored in the register.

2. battery.py

Defines battery management classes:

• Battery: Base battery class

• ModbusBattery: Extends Battery to support Modbus communication

3. victron.py

Handles communication with Victron inverters:

• Inherits from ModbusBattery

• Supports reading active power, battery SOC, and grid voltage

• Allows setting power and current setpoints

• Implements comprehensive register mapping

4. sun2000.py

Handles communication with Sun2000 inverters:

• Inherits from ModbusBattery

• Supports reading active power, battery SOC, and grid voltage

• Allows setting power and current setpoints

• Implements comprehensive register mapping

5. deye_modbus.py

Handles communication with Deye inverters via Modbus:

• Inherits from ModbusBattery

• Supports reading active power, battery SOC, and grid voltage

• Allows setting power and current setpoints

• Implements comprehensive register mapping

6. deye_solarman.py

Handles communication with Deye inverters via Solarman data logger:

• Inherits from Battery

• Uses pysolarmanv5 for communication

• Similar functionality to deye_modbus.py but using the Solarman API

7. sessy.py

Handles communication with Sessy Battery System:

• Uses aiohttp for asynchronous API communication with the Sessy API

• Supports reading active power, battery SOC, and grid voltage

• Allows setting power and current setpoints

8. sma.py

Handles communication with SMA inverters:

• Inherits from ModbusBattery

• Supports reading active power, battery SOC, and grid voltage

• Allows setting power and current setpoints

• Implements comprehensive register mapping

Implementing a New Battery

To implement a new battery, follow these steps:

1. Define the Battery Class: Create a new class that inherits from the Battery or ModbusBattery class, depending on the communication protocol used by the new battery system.

2. Initialize the Battery: Implement the __init__ method to initialize the battery-specific parameters and call the superclass constructor.

3. Register Mapping: If using Modbus communication, define the register mapping for the new battery system. You can use an Enum class to map the register addresses with their respective parameters, or you can use a dictionary or any other suitable data structure that fits your needs.

4. Implement Required Methods: Define methods to read and write battery parameters such as active power, state of charge (SOC), and grid voltage. Use the provided templates as a guide.

Example Battery Implementation

from battery import Battery

class MyNewBattery(Battery):
    def __init__(
        self, 
        capacity: int = None, 
        max_charge_power: int = None, 
        max_discharge_power: int = None, 
        soc: int = None
    ):
        super().__init__(capacity, max_charge_power, max_discharge_power, soc)
        # Initialize battery-specific parameters here

    def get_active_power_total(self):
        # Implement logic to get active power total
        pass

    def get_battery_soc(self):
        # Implement logic to get battery SOC
        pass

    def get_phase_voltage(self):
        # Implement logic to get grid voltage
        pass

    def set_power_setpoint(self, setpoint: int):
        # Implement logic to set power setpoint
        pass

from modbus import Register, AccessType, DataType

    def __init__(
        self, 
        ip: str, 
        port: int = 502, 
        timeout: int = 3, 
        capacity: int = None, 
        max_charge_power: int = None, 
        max_discharge_power: int = None, 
        soc: int = None
    ):
        super().__init__(ip, port, timeout, capacity, max_charge_power, max_discharge_power, soc)

    def get_active_power(self):
        return self.read_holding_register(self.NewBatteryRegisters.active_power_total.value)

    def get_battery_soc(self):
        return self.read_holding_register(self.NewBatteryRegisters.battery_soc.value)

    def get_phase_voltage(self):
        return self.read_holding_register(self.NewBatteryRegisters.grid_voltage.value)

    def set_power_setpoint(self, setpoint: int):
        self.write_register(self.NewBatteryRegisters.power_setpoint.value, setpoint)

    class NewBatteryRegisters(Enum):
        grid_voltage = Register(30000, "grid_voltage", DataType.UINT16)
        battery_soc = Register(30001, "battery_soc", DataType.UINT16, gain=0.01)
        active_power_total = Register(30002, "active_power_total", DataType.UINT16, gain=10)
