sunnycollect v0.0.1

SunnyCollect

Collect data from an SMA Sunny WebBox periodically and store the collected data in an Influx database.

This work is inspired by sunnyboy-influxdb. It is based on vitocollect.

Installation

Install globally:

npm install -g sunnycollect

In the installation directory, e.g. /usr/local/lib/node_modules/sunnycollect: 1. Create node_modules/config/config.json. You can take config.example.json as a starting point. 2. Create jobs.json. Likewise, use jobs.example.json as a starting point.

Then start SunnyCollect in your terminal window by running:

sunnycollect

While running, SunnyCollect will periodially pull your configured data sources according to the jobs configuration in jobs.json and push the data into an InfluxDB according to the configuration in config.json.

Note that when updating the module the configuration files will be deleted. So make a backup of your config files beforehand.

Credit

SunnyCollect is almost entirely based on VitoCollect from nexx512.
