Victron GX device integration

Hello,

There's currently no integration created on the examples library:

Supported Smart Building Devices - ComfortClick bOS

Nonetheless, hopefully some user might done it already and would like to share.

If the Victron GX uses MQTT, then it's supported by bOS, it's a matter of developing and testing.

I don't have any Victron device, so I’m not of much help. The only thing I know from reading about the Victron GX, is that it needs to receive a constant keep alive message (some say every 55s, some say less, some use 30s), otherwise Victron will stop posting data.

But yeah, bOS has MQTT so I think it's perfectly possible.

Best regards

Hi Claudiu,

It's fairly straightforward to do using the Modbus driver, HOME-Modbus - Victron.bos

Hi Andy. Thank you very much for the library. I am going to make the connection on Modbus port and I'll test the driver. My setup is ESS, 3 phase, Multiplus II - 5KVA inverter, Smartsolar MPPT RS 450/200-tr, Pytes Battery V5@.

Yeah you might need to research what registers you need for your particular devices, but there is plenty of info out there.

Thanks Andi.

Indeed I have found many in the register: https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/CCGX-Modbus-TCP-register-list-3.50.xlsx

Hello,

I thought that Claudiu was looking specifically for MQTT connection as he was comparing with HA, and didn't referred that Modbus was an option.

Thanks for sharing Andy!

Best regards

Hola a todos.

Soy nuevo por aquí. Encontré este hilo muy interesante. Tengo una instalación con Victron, con un Multiplus II de 8KVA y un Cerbo CX, con una batería de 15KW. Esto acoplado a un Fronius Primo, el cual sí puedo monitorizar, utilizando uno de los ejemplos de la biblioteca.

Me gustaría animar a la gente de ComfortClick a que desarrollara, junto con Victron, una integración.

Gracias.

¡Un saludo!
