WebSolarLog uses Devices and Communication items to contact and communicate with the connected devices.
First you need to creat a communication item in Admin::Communication.
Here you give the item a name and fillout the URI.
Here are some examples for the URI:
Weather device:
http://openweathermap.org/data/2.5/find?units=metrics&cnt=1&mode=json
This is the url to the OpenWeatherMap API
Inverter device example:
/home/pi/aurora-1.8.3/aurora -l5 -M5 /dev/ttyUSB0
This is the path to the location where Aurora is installed including the timeout, max-runtime parameters and the path to the USB-RS485 converter.
Another example for SBFSpot;
/path/to/SBFspot/bin/Release/./SBFspot
For specific parameter and info/help check the manual of the scripts/program you use.
In all cases WebSolarLog adds the nessesary parameters to the uri.
After that you need to save the item and create a Device in Admin::Devices.
Here you choose which device you want to use and configure it to use the previouse created Communication Item.
Now you could test the config in Admin::Communication, select the Communication item and which device to use and hit “Start Test”.
