More than one inverter possible?

[jaal2001]

I tried to add an additional inverter, but that produced only an error message. In the end I created an additional docker container to gather the information from the second inverter. So did anyone manage to add an additional one?

Shouldn't be too hard to add support for multiple inverters. For now running two instances is the best option. Will keep this open a reminder to add this as an improvement.

@jaal2001 the version in the main branch (and the ghcr.io/mpepping/solarman-mqtt:main image) have support for multiple inverters. See this section in the README for usage.

/cc @nicks-technik: maybe relevant for you as well (#31)

Works perfectly. Suggestion: Improve config.json.example file in this way:

[
{
"name": "",
"url": "",
"appid": "",
"secret": "",
"username": "",
"passhash": "",
"stationId":,
"inverterId": "",
"loggerId": "",
"debug": false,
"mqtt":{
"broker": "",
"port":,
"topic": "",
"username": "",
"password": "",
"qos": 1,
"retain": true
}

},
{
"name": "",
"url": "",
"appid": "",
"secret": "",
"username": "",
"passhash": "",
"stationId":,
"inverterId": "",
"loggerId": "",
"debug": false,
"mqtt":{
"broker": "",
"port":,
"topic": "",
"username": "",
"password": "",
"qos": 1,
"retain": true
}
}
]

This could help to identify how to use multiple inverter.

Thanks for confirming, @jaal2001!

I'll update the config.sample.json file according to your suggestion.
