I am new to python, modbus & mqtt.
Having all this cool Victron equipment I thought I would give it a try.
AFAIK it works only on a *nix system console.

My attempt at playing with Python Modbus & MQTT
Hi elvis,
looks like a very cool solution.
But i get no output after modifying the example with IP and ID datas.
I had debugged your code and can print values stored in the variables (eg. "BatteryWatts").
But no screen output from your code.

OK, find the problem. I have no SolarChargerID, because the PV is from another system, going through et340 to multiplus-II GX device (a Kostal Piko 20 and a second Piko 7).
With comented out this Solar* section (and ouputs) - it runs.
Can you update your script to also poll devices like em24 device?

Sorry, I am not familiar with those devices.
The script only communicates with VEbus modbus devices.
Hello, just tested it today and it work like a charm !
I found your project while trying to find a way to use teleinformation provided from Linky (french Linky electric meter ) as an energy meter (In place of ET112 Victron Module for example). I'd like to send it to VenusGX in order to adjust injected power in grid.
I'm totally new to programming, modbus, and would really appreciate any help :)
