Not getting any temp or voltage readings

[ianfretwell]

I suspect this is an issue with my config - i.e. probably not a bug so I'm asking here instead.

I've previously been using https://github.com/KoenZomers/OmnikPvOutput running under Windows to upload my data from my Omnik 4000TL - no issues, works fine but I'd rather not have to use a Windows device running all the time when I have a NAS that could be doing this anyway.

However, I've got things setup and for everything other than temps and voltage its working fine - I just can't understand why I'm not getting those readings from this method when the other method clearly had no issues retrieving the same info.

My (slightly redacted) config file looks like this -

The instance name is omnik_datalogger, this can be changed. Multiple instances are supported.

omnik_datalogger:

General options

module: omniklogger
class: HA_OmnikDataLogger
city: Sheffield
interval: 360

Plugin section

plugins:
output:
- pvoutput
client: tcpclient

client.tcpclient:
plant_id_list:
- '31518'

Section for your inverters specific settings

plant.31518:
inverter_address: 192.168.1.249
logger_sn: 01234567890
inverter_port: 8899
inverter_sn: GBDNxxxxxxxxxxxx
sys_id: 31518
http_only: true
use_temperature: true

PVoutput output plugin configuration options

output.pvoutput:
sys_id: 31518
api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
use_temperature: false
use_inverter_temperature: true
publish_voltage: voltage_ac3

I've tried various permutations of the temp values and all the options for the voltage - none of them produce anything for me.

http_only is set as I get a warning stating that it should be when I run it without - fair enough...

Is it simply that the powershell method was interrogating the inverter in some other way and I'm just going to have to live without for now ?

Also, since moving to this method - without fail the HA pvoutput integration suffers an authentication failure every single morning. Doing nothing but restarting HA brings it back to life again - I'd really like an answer to that too if anybody has any ideas ?

Many thanks,
Ian

(clearly there's a better way of pasting a config file - sorry about that)
