PV Inverter not showing up about dbus-mqtt-devices HOT 7 CLOSED

Awesome. Thanks for sharing the solution.

When you register your device in the init, what deviceId do you get back in the device/pv001/DBus topic?
You have hardcoded 1 for the deviceId in the topic W/xxxxxxx/pvinverter/1/Ac/Power

var energie = items['Active_power']; actions.get('mqtt', 'mqtt:broker:VenusOS').publishMQTT('W/xxxxxxx/pvinverter/1/Ac/Power', '{"value": ' + energie + ' }');

I highly recommend you test your MQTT messages in MQTT-Explorer before implementing them in code.

I get 1 in device/pv001/DBus topic.

publishMQTT('W/xxxxxxx/pvinverter/1/Ac/Power', '{"value": 100}');`

for example shows 100 W in the device list from Venus os

The driver has no control on what gets sent by the GX device to VRM. When you are sending values to your device you are not using the driver at all.

Perhaps it is just a time lag? The GX sends data to VRM in batches, usually every 15 mins.

If in doubt, test the data you are sending by using MQTT-Explorer.

The PV Inverter needs all values to be displayed.
I tried only to forward "total power" of the Inverter.

With all values (L1, L2, L3 etc.) it showed up instantly in the Remote console und VRM Portal.

I also noticed, that sending the "total power" of the inverter to W/xxxxxxx/pvinverter/1/Ac/Power is still showing 0W in the Remote console und VRM Portal.
Sending the "total power" to W/xxxxxxxx/pvinverter/1/Ac/L1/Power works!

Venus OS seems to sum up the power from L1, L2 and L3 to show it in the Remote console und VRM Portal.
