With the SMA device data collector, it is possible to read out data via the web server contained in the device, which also appears on the WebGUI. This data can then be further processed in other applications.
The SMA device data collector is currently under development and can currently read out the following data:
- Session Id assigned by the device.
Data can currently be obtained from the following SMA devices:
- SMA SUNNY TRIPOWER 10.0 SE
If further devices are operated with this software, this list will be extended. The relevant information is requested here.
