Full Changelog: v2023-04-08...1.0.0

v2023-04-08 Support for Current Ahoy version, make servicename configurable and more

⚠️ IMPORTANT This only works with Ahoy 0.5.93 and above. Due to an API change in Ahoy v0.5.93, you have to upgrade to this latest version of code if you upgrade your Ahoy to 0.5.93 or above (especially the official release version 0.6.0). On the other handy, if you want to use this version you have to upgrade your Ahoy. This does not affect OpenDTU users.

=> v2023-04-08 only works with a current Ahoy version. OpenDTU will work as before.

⚠️ Please also note that due to the code cleanup, you have to install (copy) all files including the doc directory. I will not be sufficient to only install or upgrade the main python file.

Most interesting changes in this release

• Support for Ahoy version 0.5.93, 0.6.0 and above (there was a breaking change in the Ahoy API in 0.5.93)
• Victron "Servicename" is now configurable per inverter in the ini file (Config entry name is Servicename in the inverter/template sections).
• Implement DigestAuth (as for Shelly Plus Devices)
• Improve error handling and logging (including a fix for a bug that didn't log HTTP errors)

Details of what's changed

• Update README.md by @dsteinkopf in #37
• Pylint clean 2nd try by @henne49 in #43
• improve error handling by @dsteinkopf in #47
• added security and troubleshooting infos by @henne49 in #51
• Make servicename configurable (eg. for com.victronenergy.acload) by @henne49 in #53
• replace username & password with **** by @henne49 in #61
• read servicename from config for DTU by @henne49 in #62
• Update example JSON files as Ahoy DTU REST API has changed (Ahoy v0.5.93+) by @GallusMax in #54
• Ahoy API change by Ahoy version 0.5.93 and above by @dsteinkopf in #65
• use current opendtu json file for tests by @dsteinkopf in #66

v2023-02-21 Multi-Template Support

Allow Multiple Templates to be queried with a single DTU like ahoy or OpenDTU

⚠️ IMPORTANT Due to an API change of OpenDTU in v4.4.3, you have to upgrade to this latest version of code if you upgrade your OpenDTU. If you want to use this version you have to upgrade your openDTU ⚠️

v2023-02-21 only works with openDTU v4.4.3

• Major Update to allow for multiple template devices and either a ahoy or openDTU or no DTU at all #30
• OpenDTU API Update fix: #34 #28
• Allow OpenDTU to ask for authentication of Status API Call #29
• Only display values in Venus OS, when inverter is also producing or data is not too old #26

Please also read the options in config.ini file carefully, what is new and what has changed. If you are using this new release and your OpenDTU is not at least v4.4.3 the script will exit, also use the new format of config.ini. or the script will exit.

An Update is similar to a new install, just copy your specific information to the config.ini

Thank you all for you support to make the release happening: @dsteinkopf as wizard of code code and @turbolift for his quick contribution

v2023-01-16 Multi-Inverter Support

Create separate PVinverter on dbus

Major overhaul

Which allows for multiple PV Inverter to be read and data written into dbus from a single script instance.

• For every inverter found in ahoy or opendtu response, a separate PV Inverter is created in dbus.
• Number of inverters is initially 1 and if more than 1 inverter is retrieved in the JSON response all other inverters are created separately as additional PV Inverters automatically
• Serialnumber and name are now read automatically from JSON response

Breaking changes in config.ini:

• AC Position and Device Instance have to be specified in file per inverter
• ONPREMISE section has been removed and entries for host, username and password are now in DEFAULT section
• If you have more than 1 Inverter please check if the prefilled Device Instance is free in your Venus dbus and change to a free ID

Further enhancements planned:

• Include up to 10 Generic template devices to be read from a single script
• Include further template examples for generic REST based JSON devices

What's Changed

• Generic rest device by @henne49 in #17
• Updated Readme with Generic REST Device by @henne49 in #18
• some minor improvements by @dsteinkopf in #20
• Create separate PVinverter on dbus by @henne49 in #24

Thank you

@dsteinkopf for your help, testing and contribution
