Off-grid Solar / Battery monitoring and control freeware

You don't connect the pi to the ecoflow. Assuming your ecoflow app is working, you connect the pi to the ecoflow server to get the stats. So much more info than the official app!

You need the latest pi 4 or zero with a current raspian OS with python 3.11

If your interested, I'll post the code to GitHub soon.

I'm close to getting this working with my system. I have Grafana/Prometheus/Node Exporter installed on my RPi3B and I'm able to look at a dashboard with meters showing my RPi data. My next step is to try to figure out how to install and run scripts for my equipment. I have an Epever Triron 3210 that I will be hooking up to monitor as soon as I get the cable in. All the hard work on that one has been done. The other piece of equipment I want to monitor is an SRNE HF2430 hybrid inverter. I have found the modbus protocol for the inverter, but I don't know where to start in making a working script. There's a guy who has gotten it working in Home Assistant and Solar Assistant appears to support this inverter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is you can just SSH into these hotspot devices. I have 2 Verizon mifi that only cost me 10 bucks a month. But I can not dial them up. Getting data out is simple. Controlling remote devices not so simple

I currently remote monitor my solar powered 500w gpu mining rig remotely, via Verizon WiFi and relays. I use an AIO inverter unit and would love to try to remote monitor that using the Linux based hive os pc my mining rig is on. @BradCagle did something like this I. One of his old videos but I wasn’t able to follow quite how he did it. Count me in!

So my mining rig is running a version of Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS now I need to see if it can run python 3, graphana and node? I’ll do more research.

Okay it seems I need to make a new user on the mining rig and then I can install/update python with this:

Create new user:

adduser (user)
usermod -aG sudo (user)
su (user)

Update aptitude and install python required in old distros.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.7-venv python3.7-distutils python3.7-dev git lsb-release -y

Grafana and Debian/Ubuntu

[URL='https://grafana.com/']Grafana[/URL] is a popular data graphing tool. It can pull in data from a variety of sources and visualize this data in a multitude of graphs and other widgets. Debian and its derivatives (such as Ubuntu) are a popular Linux distribution. In this article, we will set...

So should I set up a VM on my mining rig then run graphana and the rest in that instead of creating a new user on my mining rig?

No I think you can skip the VM part. I was just pointing you to directions I found that are Debian/Ubuntu specific, rather than RPi.

I feel like this will be a good start, but I don't know what I'm doing to make it work:
