This serves also as an exsmple of a Signal K server plugin written in Python. There’s tons of Python for interfacing with sensors, so now you can embed that code in the server, including configuration in the server admin user interface. And the plugin can be distributed via the App store.

Its been a while since this thread was last posted but I am interested in connecting my EPSolar AN series MPPT controller to my RPi setup. Can it be used with the RPi4 and OPV2?
Thanks

howdy, just checking in if you've been able to work on this. I am just getting started getting EPSolar, RECBMS, WS500 data into Signal K and wherever there is already code available I love to use and study.
thanks .....

I'd like to try this, but I struggle with linux a bit. I have a Renogy Commander 60, which is basically an EPSolar iTracer 60. I found an EPSolar RS485-USB cable online and, after much messing around, was able to get the driver installed and the correct /dev/ttyXRUSB0 showing (although it took out some other stuff, which I'll fix later). But I do not understand how to check to see if info is coming through on this port or how to get it into SignalK.
So, I'm happy I found this thread, as it's the closest I've come to an answer yet.
I'm happy to try it out, just need guidance on how to get it in there.
