get Debug Log from watchpower

Get debug data from WatchPower / SolarPower

If your inverter is not recognized correctly, missing fields, or answering with unexpected raw strings, vendor PC software logs are still useful.

First use the built-in ESP32 project tools

Before collecting vendor logs, use the built-in debug paths:

1. Web UI -> Debug -> Preview JSON
2. Web UI -> Debug -> Preview Report
3. Web UI -> Debug -> Download Report
4. Web UI -> Web Serial
5. MQTT raw topics under RAW/*
6. the live data shown by the Web UI

These usually already contain enough material for protocol work.

Why this is useful

The current project keeps raw answers even for not-yet-supported but responding devices.

That means the following are especially valuable:

• QPI
• QMN
• QPIRI
• QPIGS
• QPIGS2
• QPIWS
• QALL
• Q1
• CommandAnswer

WatchPower / SolarPower logs

• install the vendor PC software
• connect the inverter and let it poll for a while
• collect the raw protocol files or debug files
• zip the full log folder
• include device model, protocol guess and transport type

What helps most in a bug report

• debug report from Solar2MQTT
• raw MQTT topics or a JSON preview from the Debug page
• vendor software log files
• photo of the inverter label
• note whether the issue is wrong detection, missing values or unstable values
