Monitoring

Monitoring things like Kostal Piko BA; BYD HV...

Python Virtual - Environment

I suggest to install a virtual environment for your monitoring purposes in order not to mess around with the local installations. For each monitoring there is a requirements*.txt which contains the necessary packages. Those can be easily installed by

pip3 install -r requirements_USV.txt

Edit config.ini

The config.sample.ini needs to be renamed to config.ini and then adopted so that it fits to your environment/Passwords/IPs

Database

Currently only MySQL/MariaDB is supported. The Table structures, views, procedures and events are stored in:

./base_MYSQL/SQL_structure/

You might import them with:

mysql -u username -p name_of_DB < [sql-file].sql

direct Usage

Each monitoring can bee called - e.g. for testing - directly:

[python path]/python monitoring_template.py [module_name]

module_name can currently be any of:

• BYD
• BYD_Cell_voltage
• DWD
• DWD_SIM
• Kostal_Piko_BA
• USV
• Luxtronik
• Elgris

Enabling services

For each monitoring device the serivce needs to be enabled. Make sure that the path within the *.service file has been adopted to your environment.

sudo systemctl link /home/pi/PythonProgs/monitoring/log_USV.service
sudo systemctl enable log_USV
sudo systemctl start log_USV
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Visualisation (Grafana)

The dashboards I have in use with grafana are placed within ./00_grafana/ Each Dashboard has its own *.json file. To give an impression what is within each boards a report exported to *.pdf is attached
