photogeek54 Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 @bpwwer and @xKing I'm not sure who to ask this question of. I'm using the solaredge PG3 node server on my Eisy v5.5.9. I am logging the solar production and consumption results every 5 minutes and have noticed that there are stretches of time, sometimes minutes, sometimes hours, where the consumption and production values report as 0 and then back to reasonable values. Sometimes its just the consumption, sometimes just the production and sometimes both. The solaredge app on my iphone always shows a correct, non-zero, value at those times. Here's some messages I'm getting in the log: 2023-03-20 11:35:05,235 Thread-12855 udi_interface WARNING solaredge-poly:updateInfo: No Inverter data received, skipping... 2023-03-20 11:35:05,235 Thread-12855 udi_interface WARNING solaredge-poly:updateInfo: No Inverter data received, skipping... 2023-03-20 11:35:05,235 Thread-12855 udi_interface WARNING solaredge-poly:updateInfo: No Inverter data received, skipping... 2023-03-20 11:36:05,315 Thread-12859 udi_interface WARNING solaredge-poly:updateInfo: No Inverter data received, skipping... 2023-03-20 11:36:05,315 Thread-12859 udi_interface WARNING solaredge-poly:updateInfo: No Inverter data received, skipping... 2023-03-20 11:36:05,315 Thread-12859 udi_interface WARNING solaredge-poly:updateInfo: No Inverter data received, skipping... 2023-03-20 11:37:05,251 Thread-12861 udi_interface WARNING solaredge-poly:updateInfo: No Inverter data received, skipping... 2023-03-20 11:37:05,251 Thread-12861 udi_interface WARNING solaredge-poly:updateInfo: No Inverter data received, skipping... 2023-03-20 11:37:05,251 Thread-12861 udi_interface WARNING solaredge-poly:updateInfo: No Inverter data received, skipping... 2023-03-20 11:37:19,099 Command udi_interface.node INFO node:reportDrivers: Updating All Drivers to ISY for Southridge Greens(2920422) 2023-03-20 11:37:19,099 Command udi_interface.node INFO node:reportDrivers: Updating All Drivers to ISY for Southridge Greens(2920422) 2023-03-20 11:37:19,099 Command udi_interface.node INFO node:reportDrivers: Updating All Drivers to ISY for Southridge Greens(2920422) Is there some trick to get the node server to not report erroneous 0 values?
bpwwer Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 If you set the node server log level to debug, it will output what it's getting from the SolarEdge server. Basically, from the above, what it gets from the server has no inverter data in it, but we don't know why. It's possible that you are exceeded some query limit. Seeing the actual return from the server may include details on why it has no data.
stevehoyt Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Hi I don't have the PG3 nodeserver running, but I am using the Home Assistant solar edge integration. I don't know what connection you have from the inverter to the internet. In my case, I have their zigbee connection. I have a lot of issues with the zigbee connection dropping. When it does, I get zero values or non numeric data in numeric fields. You can see if the zigbee connection is up by looking at your inverter for the S_OK message. Granted it is not the same as you, but your symptoms might be due to bad data I am seeing too. As an aside, their servers at the moment have sent me a message that they are running slow.

photogeek54 Posted April 17, 2023 Author Posted April 17, 2023 I've discovered that the solaredge API is rate limited to 300 requests for each specific API call per day. SO I assume my issue was caused by too many requests in a day. Given that the values returned by the API only change on 15 minute boundaries. There is no sense setting your short_poll or long_poll intervals to less than 900 seconds. It would be best to send your first request shortly after 0,15,30, or 45 minutes into the hour to be best aligned with the most recent data.
photogeek54 Posted May 1, 2023 Author Posted May 1, 2023 I have an extended version of the solaredge node server in the non-production store and it has pretty reliably been able to get updates from my solaredge every 5 minutes.
