# Fronius Symo monitoring with Netdata Collects metrics from the configured solar power installation from Fronius Symo. **Requirements** - Configuration file `fronius.conf` in the node.d Netdata config dir (default: `/etc/netdata/node.d/fronius.conf`) - Fronius Symo with network access (http) It produces per server: 1. **Power** - Current power input from the grid (positive values), output to the grid (negative values), in W - Current power input from the solar panels, in W - Current power stored in the accumulator (if present), in W (in theory, untested) 2. **Consumption** - Local consumption in W 3. **Autonomy** - Relative autonomy in %. 100 % autonomy means that the solar panels are delivering more power than it is needed by local consumption. - Relative self consumption in %. The lower the better 4. **Energy** - The energy produced during the current day, in kWh - The energy produced during the current year, in kWh 5. **Inverter** - The current power output from the connected inverters, in W, one dimension per inverter. At least one is always present. ## configuration Sample: ```json { "enable_autodetect": false, "update_every": 5, "servers": [ { "name": "Symo", "hostname": "symo.ip.or.dns", "update_every": 5, "api_path": "/solar_api/v1/GetPowerFlowRealtimeData.fcgi" } ] } ``` If no configuration is given, the module will be disabled. Each `update_every` is optional, the default is `5`. --- [Fronius Symo 8.2](https://www.fronius.com/en/photovoltaics/products/all-products/inverters/fronius-symo/fronius-symo-8-2-3-m) The plugin has been tested with a single inverter, namely Fronius Symo 8.2-3-M: - Datalogger version: 240.162630 - Software version: 3.7.4-6 - Hardware version: 2.4D Other products and versions may work, but without any guarantees. Example Netdata configuration for node.d/fronius.conf. Copy this section to fronius.conf and change name/ip. The module supports any number of servers. Sometimes there is a lag when collecting every 3 seconds, so 5 should be okay too. You can modify this per server. ```json { "enable_autodetect": false, "update_every": 5, "servers": [ { "name": "solar", "hostname": "symo.ip.or.dns", "update_every": 5, "api_path": "/solar_api/v1/GetPowerFlowRealtimeData.fcgi" } ] } ``` The output of /solar_api/v1/GetPowerFlowRealtimeData.fcgi looks like this: ```json { "Head" : { "RequestArguments" : {}, "Status" : { "Code" : 0, "Reason" : "", "UserMessage" : "" }, "Timestamp" : "2017-07-05T12:35:12+02:00" }, "Body" : { "Data" : { "Site" : { "Mode" : "meter", "P_Grid" : -6834.549847, "P_Load" : -1271.450153, "P_Akku" : null, "P_PV" : 8106, "rel_SelfConsumption" : 15.685297, "rel_Autonomy" : 100, "E_Day" : 35020, "E_Year" : 5826076, "E_Total" : 14788870, "Meter_Location" : "grid" }, "Inverters" : { "1" : { "DT" : 123, "P" : 8106, "E_Day" : 35020, "E_Year" : 5826076, "E_Total" : 14788870 } } } } } ``` [](<>)
