Template Ohmpilot IP address? / show Ohmpilot/Aux value for debugging?

[david8sen4]

I'm trying to get EVCC working with:

Keba P30
Fronius Gen 24
Fronius Ohmpilot
BYD Battery
VW ID3

Inverter is connected to EVCC using Modbus/TCP, I can see the car, the charging station, the battery but I'm not sure if the Ohmpilot plugin and connection is properly working.

Have used the Ohmpilot IP address in my configuration, not sure this is right?
Or do I need to use the Inverters IP and use SolarApi instead of Modbus TCP to connect to the Inverter?

For all the wonderfull people who did the code it might be self-explaining but for someone who is just doing this once for his own installation it is not that easy to see what is the right config. So it might be cool if someone could add a comment to the plugin at the devices list so it is more clear for beginners?

I also do not know where I can check if it is working properly. Site power in the log never adds the Ohmpilot value on top, so I guess there is no connection between the Ohmpilot and EVCC at my Installation. Is there a way to show/see Ohmpilot/Aux value? Maybe someone could help me fixing that?

I also have the issue, that after charging the Ohmpilot does not continue to heat up my heating water puffer, not sure it has to do with EVCC but I can reproduce this error.

many thanks for your help! Vielen Dank für die Hilfe!

Ohmpilot power is not shown within the webUI. It is just taken into account for vehicle charging
https://docs.evcc.io/en/docs/reference/configuration/site#metersaux
ohmpilot is not controlled, only the power is measured

Thanks, I know that Aux Meters like Ohmpilot are not shown in the GUI (even it would be very practical for a noob like me debugging the configuration). Is there any place (in the logs?) where I can see measured power of Ohmpilot/Aux devices? The only time I can work on that is mainly in the evenings, so it would be nice to be able to test without sun while the kids are in bed 😉.

Tried to use the IP Adress of the inverter for the Ohmpilot configuration while still leaving the inverter/grid configuration as Modbus TCP... Gave me the following error in the logs... Seems to get values... ? But why is it stated as Error in the logs? Can anybody please confirm if I interpret the right way and help me debugging without sunlight/overpower.

As it is not controlled by EVCC, the bug I experienced Ohmpilot not switching on after charging is for sure caused by the inverter-Ohmpilot communication... Good to know, something I will also try to fix later.

Many thanks for your help
