dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation

The original Implementation of Victrons Fronius Readout shows all Fronius inverters as PV-Inverters. Unfortunately the attached Battery is not visible.

So, I wrote my own script, that addresses this issue and creates a dbus-based Battery-Management System based on the JSON-API of the fronius inverter.

• Disable the internal scanning for PV-Inverters and remove the original entry created by victron, else they appear twice.
• Under Settings / System Setup / Battery Measurements make sure to enable the virtual BMS to be displayed in VRM as well.

(There is currently PV Output of the second inverter as well, so the battery discharge & the PV Output don't match, but they do)

Script Installation.

wget https://github.com/realdognose/dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
unzip main.zip "dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation-main/*" -d /data
mv /data/dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation-main /data/dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation
chmod a+x /data/dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation/install.sh
/data/dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation/install.sh
rm main.zip

⚠️ Check configuration after that - because service is already installed an running and with wrong connection data you will spam the log-file

Stop service

svc -d /service/dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation

Start service

svc -u /service/dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation

Reload data

/data/dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation/restart.sh

View log file

cat /data/dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation/current.log

Change config.ini

Within the project there is a file /data/dbus-fronius-hybrid-battery-visualisation/config.ini - just change the values - most important is the host and HybridID in section "ONPREMISE". More details bellow and comments in the config file:

Afther change the config file execute restart.sh to reload new settings

Section	Config vlaue	Explanation
DEFAULT	AccessType	Fixed value 'OnPremise'
DEFAULT	SignOfLifeLog	Time in minutes how often a status is added to the log-file current.log with log-level INFO
ONPREMISE	Host	IP or hostname of on-premise Fronis Meter web-interface
ONPREMISE	HybridID	Your HybridDevice ID
ONPREMISE	intervalMs	Interval time in ms to get data from Fronius
