Sorry, i might be wrong here, but when i connect Homey with Fronius via Homey-Fornius-App i need to enter Hostname/IP-Adress (it says Specify Fronius Datamanager IP/hostname). I enter the IP in the format x.x.x.x but it does not work. What do i need to enter? Or how if not x.x.x.x?
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Would you say it might be possible to have a function that would allow to charge the battery not from solar but from the national grid? this might be usefull when dynamic electricity prices are really low.
Of course, I would be more than willing to pay for the development.
In the manual, I found a reference to the ACTIVE GRID-function. This could be it. However, it would be nice to be able to activate this function in Homey. Prices of power (Power by the Hour app) , electric curent (already available as is) and battery level (already available as is) would be parameters upon which this function could be activated to optimize power consumption and power sources.
"In the case of a hybrid inverter with active grid support activated ("Active Grid Support"), additional scenarios arise:
If the output power has already been reduced to 0 W when the voltage is too high and the voltage continues to rise, additional energy can be taken from the national grid (the battery is thus charged, see "System with storage and active grid support enabled" - blue characteristic curve in the lower "Power Input" area)."
If i want to install the APP i get the note, that it is only available for “Homey Pro” - but the hardware is not available yet. I think, this is because of a maybe necessary local LAN Connection to the Fronius Inverter ?
At the moment i’m using a different Platform where i only had to enter the SystemID Key for the Fronius Solarweb guest access and all the data comes from the cloud - just like it is made with the Shelly parts. Is it possibile to use this APP with the Fronius Solarweb guest access getting the data from the cloud ?
Yes it is, but thay is only available for “Homey Pro”.
But hey, you just noticed that yourself! So, therefor I am probably not fully understanding your question?
Sorry for confusing with my “encrypted” style of questions
If wonder if i need the “Homey Pro” Hardware ( so wait until April when it is shipped ) or is “Homey Pro” just a different kind of access / software variant which i already can use when i pre-ordered the hardware. If i need the hardware i wonder how people already can use this app when the hardware will only be shipped in April 2023. This is why i think the App uses cloud data from Fronius but is only working with a “Pro” Account.
