@Torch1969 Thank you for your constructive feedback. Are you able to access in your setup and are your StecaGrid connected to LAN: http://\< ip \>/measurements.xml IP: ip to your inverter. And does this show a image? http://\< ip \>/gen.screenshot.bmp Regarding the discovery/device: You are correct. I could put it in the discovery. I have not thought of people having multiple. In the device, I could add “version”, if software versions differ in the methods of which data is retrieved. ---

> [@Kim\_Kokholm](#): > > Thank you for your constructive feedback. For the record, copied this feedback from [my post in an other thread](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-power-by-the-hour-insights-per-hour-day-month-and-year/20535/1909): Hi @Kim_Kokholm very nice, I have a coolcept 4200 and immediately tried to test this app. Why did you put the device url in the app settings and not in device advanced settings? It’s a setting of the device, for instance how to configure 2 inverter’s? My inverter isn’t found (status code 404), could it be the fact it’s in separate VLAN? Can you handle this? Or doesn’t my inverter have the /measurements.xml? Which types of inverter do you support? Are you sure you didn’t mix up power in W (=measure\_power) (which you’re getting from inverter) and energy in Wh (meter\_power) which you are using in the app. Why only update once in 2 minutes? ---

I could put it in the discovery. I have not thought of people having multiple. In the device, I could add “version”, if software versions differ in the methods of which data is retrieved. If I acces http://\< ip \>/measurements.xml the screen is blank. If I access http://\< ip \>/gen.screenshot.bmp the display of the inverter is shown. In [this post](https://community.homey.app/t/help-how-to-create-an-app/58904/8) you can see which pages I use to get information of inverter. For me discovery of device isn’t necessary, only move the ip to the device settings would be more appropriate. I have one inverter, my remark is just for future enhancement. If you plan to add discovery, please leave option to give in ip, because in some situations discovery won’t work (cross VLAN). I am sure I have older version of the stecagrid inverter. So handling different versions would be good enhancement of your app 😀 ---

Hi @Torch1969 , during my research I did find some people has this working for them: /gen.measurements.table.json Can you please try this out? I would love to support your hardware as well. I would still keep the IP in the admin-settings - in the device-add I would add version/models. Our versions are very different. Regarding the 2min update: Actually my first thoughts was update more frequent: 06-20 - where the sun is actually possible 🙂 and then at off-hours less frequent. I could update more often - at what frequence do you suggest? My readings: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/2/e2617fd5c9a2ad4c66e17576012b64784510be74.png) (edited: just realized you are absolutely right, its on W i see and not Wh) ---

When the inverter is active I would suggest something from 5-10 seconds, because flows using this have to react fast on change of power (for instance for charging/discharging battery). The reading of energy (on different page) can be done less often, f.i. once a minute. But I think it’s best to make this use configurable (with separate parameter) in device settings. ---

@Torch1969 can you please paste the exact result of “/gen.measurements.table.json”, since I dont have this endpoint and cannot see the data for myself. From the names, what values does match: Production now: \ + Internal temperature: \ + Voltage: \ + I guess your language is NL 🙂 ---

Ah, good diagnosis :-). That solved the error. Next step.
