Hi, i had bought shelly PM mini gen3 and tried to connect in venus os. but its not displaying the values. I have used project below
https://github.com/Halmand/dbus-shelly-1pm-and-pm1-Plus-pvinverter-multi-instance
if change the values in "dbus-shelly-1pm-pvinverter.py" script "line 168", then i am getting the readings in Device List, but not getting in VRM or Remote Console.
power = meter_data['switch:0']['apower']
to
power = meter_data['pm1:0']['apower']
Issue Resolved. Need to change the code in line 52. Change Position', 0 to Position', 1.
Are all the other data points in shelly PM mini in same location/format.
Also have you set phase and other required settings in device list
I don't have programing skills. I am using reference in the Google. I have attached the VRM device list and Remote Console device list. Kindly guide.
Hi @vijith
Here's the api documentation. I haven't got a shelly gen3 device to test it unfortunately.
PM1 | Shelly Technical Documentation
I think you'll just need to change what's in lines 168 to 170 to work with the above data layout.
You may also need to change line 110.
For understanding:
So what the script is doing is getting the status url of the shelly device and reading the data from it.
The new generation has a different api structure/data layout hence the issue you've got.
The python code is reading the data from the status url of the shelly device and it seems to say the plus model's status url is http://%s/rpc/Shelly.GetStatus
The api documentation seems to say it's now http://%s/rpc/PM1.GetStatus (this is assuming i've found the right api documentation, please double check I've not got the wrong model)
It's easy for you to test this if you're on the same network as the shelly device. Open up a browser and go to the shelly devices url followed by the above path ie
http://192.168.1.10/rpc/Shelly.GetStatus
if this fails try the below (im hoping iit's the below)
http://192.168.1.10/rpc/PM1.GetStatus
(of course changing it to your shelly's IP).
This will also show you the format of the data. ie this will tell you what you need to change lines 168 to be to get the data to be read correctly.
If you're struggling to work out that part just ask chatgpt or google "how to access power from this json data" and paste the data you see in that window. it'll tell you something like data[paramter][power] similar to what you see in the python code already. ofcource the variable data will need to change to meter_data if you're using that python script.
Hi, actually i am getting all the information in Device list.
Only i am not getting in VRM and Remote Console. I have attached the .JSON files. this one is working
http://192.168.1.102/rpc/Shelly.GetStatus
and my current .py script also attached. seems everything is correct as you mentioned.
Ahh i see that is odd.
My next guess was going to be it's configured as a ac load meter rather than pv inverter but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Have you configured pv position in the device settings (in gx device under setup?
Its odd that it shows under vrm devices. If it wasn't there I'd guess the dbus instance ID wasn't unique ie inverter 1 and inverter 2 conflicting.
How do you know it's not showing in vrm. Does the data in advanced tab show zero for that device?
I have attached the screenshots of VRM advanced tab, VRM device list and VRM Dashboard
Its weird. In VRM i am getting data in the "Installation data view". But in VRM graphical view its not. I have attached the screenshots.
Full View of VRM dashboard. Its not showing the PV inverter.
HI @vijith
I noticed your victron inverter is off. I've seen others have issues when their multiplus is off. If you turn that on i think it'll solve the issue on the graphic.
Actually I am not using Victron Inverter. Before "Shelly MiniPMG3" i was using "Shelly 1 One Pm Smart Relay" and it was fine. I was getting all the data.
