Hello all,
So in an ideal world i would like to find a local installer to come and select/fit/commission all the montiring kit for me (does anyone know of any companies in the Bristol area that could do this?!). But from what i can tell this isnt really available, so will have a go myself!
FYI, im an ex electrician, and work as a building services engineer so have some knowledge, but tend to fall down a touch with the IT side of things…
Anyhow, long story short, id like to monitor my solar array (2kW Solar Edge inverter), Air Source Heat Pump (5kW Vaillant AroTHERM), and soon to be battery storage system (19kWh, 3kW, AC coupled Givenergy Battery system). Now i am assuming i will need a CT/Temp Sensor for the following items:
Solar Inverter
Heat Pump Elec Supply
Heat Pump Immersion Elec Supply
Heat Pump - Flow Temp Sesnor
Heat Pump - Return Temp Sesnor
Hot Water Cylinder Temp Sensor
Underfloor Heating Buffer Vessel Immersion Elec Supply
Underfloor Heating Buffer Vessel Temp Sensor
Storage Battery Elec Supply
Incoming Meter Tails
Most of this kit is installed within my plant room, so pressume i will just need 1 No. emonPi, and maybe 2 No. EmonTx’s (this is assuming the inputs can be used for temp sensors as well as CTs?!)
Also, i note that the Vaillant AroTHERM has Modbus comms, is there any way of intergrating directly with this to pull the required data?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Simon.
