inverter-bot

This is a Telegram bot for querying information from an InfiniSolar V family of hybrid solar inverters.

It supports querying general status, such as battery voltage or power usage, printing amounts of energy generated in the last days, dumping status or rated information and more.

It requires Python 3.6+ or so.

Requirements

• inverterd from inverter-tools
• inverterd python library
• Python 3.6+ or so

Configuration

The bot accepts following parameters:

• --token — your telegram bot token (required)
• --users-whitelist — space-separated list of IDs of users who are allowed to use the bot (required)
• --notify-to — space-separated list of IDs of users who need to be notified of monitoring programs events
• --ac-current-range (default is (10, 30))
• --inverterd-host (default is 127.0.0.1)
• --inverterd-port (default is 8305)
• --verbose

Launching with systemd

This is tested on Debian 10. Something might differ on other systems.

Create environment configuration file /etc/default/inverter-bot:

TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN"
USERS="ID ID ID ..."
NOTIFY_USERS="ID ID ID..."
PARAMS="" # here you can pass other options such as --inverterd-host

Create systemd service file /etc/systemd/system/inverter-bot.service with the following content (changing stuff like paths):

[Unit]
Description=inverter bot
After=network.target

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/inverter-bot
User=user
Group=user
Restart=on-failure
ExecStart=python3 /home/user/inverter-bot/src/inverter-bot --token $TOKEN --users-whitelist $USERS --notify-to $NOTIFY_USERS $PARAMS
WorkingDirectory=/home/user/inverter-bot

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then enable and start the service:

systemctl enable inverter-bot
systemctl start inverter-bot
