Problem Description
I have successfully setup my dashboard and am collecting data from my Powerwalls and attached inverters. However, I have a standalone Tesla solar inverter that was installed at the same time as the powerwalls that is not part of this dashboard. Is there a way to also/seperately poll the string data and overall status of the standalone inverter and display the data in the same dashboard as the Powerwalls? There is a Neurio that is reading the overall output of the standalone inverter and reporting to the Powerwall+ unit already so my summary and production data is correct, however it would be nice to have the low level and string data from the standalone unit.

Additionally, I am curious if there is a way to show the SN of each powerwall to identify which unit is "Powerwall 1" vs "Powerwall 2" vs 3 in the dashboard?

System Details
Describe the host system you are trying to use for the Dashboard:

  • Raspberry Pi 4
  • PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
    NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
    VERSION_ID="11"
    VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
    VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye

Energy System Details
2 Powerwall + (One Site Controller and one expansion unit)
1 Powerwall
1 3.8/7.2kW Tesla Solar Inverter
1 Backup Switch

Hi @jf5264835 !

Is there a way to also/seperately poll the string data and overall status of the standalone inverter and display the data in the same dashboard as the Powerwalls?

Sadly, no. The separate inverters do not measure and provide low level string data to the gateway. This is a common request and many have investigated all options. However, if you or anyone else discovers some secret way to get to that data, let us know!

I am curious if there is a way to show the SN of each powerwall to identify which unit is "Powerwall 1" vs "Powerwall 2" vs 3 in the dashboard?

Yes! You can hit the pypowerwall endpoint for pod which will show all the Powerwalls with their Name+SN: http://localhost:8675/pod (change localhost to the host running the Dashboard). Also this has the vitals and more details of your system: http://localhost:8675/vitals
