Yet another tool to read power production of SMA® solar/battery inverters

Translation by Google: [NL] - [FR] - [DE] - [ES] - [IT]

Introduction

SBFspot, formerly known as SMAspot, is an open source project to get actual and archive data out of an SMA® inverter over Bluetooth or Ethernet (Speedwire®) It works on either Linux (Raspberry Pi) and Windows.

What it does

SBFspot connects via Bluetooth or Ethernet to your SMA® solar/battery inverter and reads Archive Day/Month Power generation, user/installer events and the actual (spot) data. The collected data is stored in a SQL database (SQLite/MySQL/MariaDB) or SMA® compatible .csv files. A separate service/daemon uploads the collected data to PVoutput.org
