Awesome Project! Is there any chance you could add configuration management for the Renogy Rover Controller #7
Description
I’m completely off grid and use Macs, Raspberry Pis and Arduinos for a variety of things. One of them is controlling my solar powered well pump located about 1,500 feet downhill from my cabin. I don’t want the pump running unless there is sufficient solar power being generate to get water up the well bore and then push it up the hill to my storage tank. So, I’m rigging up a Pi to monitor the output from my panels and when a specific volt/amp level is reached I’ll turn on the well pump using a heavy duty DC relay. I was having to setup a variety of sensors to monitor all this but with your code it looks like I can directly query my Renogy Rover 40Amp controller. So, THANK YOU for this code base.
One other problem I have is that the Renogy provided software is WinDoze only, so configuring my controllers is a pain unless I spring for their extra control/display panel.
With the work you’ve done do you think it’s possible to build a config file that could be pushed to the Rovers via the APIs you’ve identified? It would be very useful if the various charging parameters could be configured via a text file and then “flashed” back to the controller. Just wondering if that’s even doable?
Anyway, thank you for this code base...very helpful!
