RFE: monitor2.json on Serial output (micro USB connector)

Open dakoal opened this issue 4 years ago • 10 comments

Is it possible to let the monitor2.json output also go through the serial connection? Maybe with a checkbox enable/disable in the GUI.

Then it will be (for example) possible to read this from a device directly connected, not needing WLAN/CANBUS/RS485 .....

Now the output is only [I][Rules.cpp:133] SetError(): Set error 1 [I][Rules.cpp:133] SetError(): Set error 1

Hi Dakoal, the monitor2.json output isn't really in a formal for transmitting over serial.

We could output the MQTT data packets, thats in a JSON format.

I would apreciate any form of celldata.

As soon as I can use it on a Victron/Cerbo GX system I will post it in the openenergymonitor community.

I'll be looking at integration with Victro Cerbo using CANBUS as per #27

But on other systems it will be very nice

Is there a chance to get some "debug" data out of the serial port? If possible, I can try to integrate myself like in the OLD controller. But I don't know if "visual studio code / platform io" is still working like in the past.

Hi @dakoal , yes platformIO and VSCode are still used to compile the code.

The USB port on the ESP32 is used for outputting debug information, and you are free to adapt/amend if you wish to add additional debug data.

I'm quite far down the road with the Victron integration already, if you take a look at issue #27 you can see some screenshots.

You are very good on the integration, I see. But the new controller board is not order/build able, because some of the chips are out of stock everywhere.

I am lucky having 3 left for my friends installation, but afterwards I will have to use the old controllers, and they don‘t have CAN.

Maybe I find a way to bend the „debug out“ of the old controller also back to the microusb as here with the ESP32.

Global chip shortage is affecting everything - have you seen the price of ATTINY chips !

Hi.

Updated a ESP32 Controller to last version. Where is monitor2.json gone?

dakoal avatar Mar 10 '23 20:03 dakoal

It's still there at /api/monitor2

This must be quite an update, the change was made a long time ago!!
