RCT adapter for ioBroker

Please note that this is a private project and that I (Andreas Ruttkamp) am not related to RCT in any way.

Read values of a RCT Power photovoltaics power converter.

REMARKS

Productive release

This productive release has proven stable.

By using the "RCT Elements" field, one may select which data shall be read from the power converter. If nothing is entered here, default will be used:

"battery.bat_status,battery.soc,battery.soc_target,battery.soc_target_high,battery.soc_target_low,dc_conv.dc_conv_struct[0].p_dc_lp,dc_conv.dc_conv_struct[1].p_dc_lp,fault[0].flt,fault[1].flt,fault[2].flt,fault[3].flt,g_sync.p_ac_grid_sum_lp,g_sync.p_ac_load_sum_lp,g_sync.p_ac_sum_lp,g_sync.p_acc_lp,g_sync.u_sg_avg[0],g_sync.u_sg_avg[1],io_board.s0_external_power,power_mng.is_heiphoss,power_mng.state,power_mng.use_grid_power_enable,power_mng.u_acc_mix_lp,prim_sm.island_flag"

Other elements can be found in the code (file "rct/rc_core2.js"). Since this is not self descriptive, use at own risk!

The object "battery.bat_status" indicates the status of a connected battery:

• 0 -> charge/discharge (normal operation)
• 8 -> charge (calibration)
• 1024 -> discharge (calibration)
• 2048 -> balancing

Known Issues

Wrong Channels / States

A new version might not be able to create the right ioBroker channels / states. In most cases this can be recognized by the node "battery" showing up as a single element instead of a folder.

If this happens, stop the adapter and manually delete the node "rct.0".
