Monitor SMA Sunny Boy Inverter via Modbus
Tuesday, 7. June 2016

SMA provides for this device (and other devices with Modbus) tables with information at which address which information resides.

For Python there is the Modbus library ‘pymodbus’.

With some tinkering I made a Python application, which can be used with a graphical interface or via command line (without graphical interface). 287

But LED technology has made impressive progress in recent years and therefore I had the idea to transform this lamp to a LED light source.
