The last days we heard from users that the have troubles with Websolarlog in combination with SMAspot.

We investigated a few of these issues and our conclusion is;
WebSolarLog is not compatible with other versions then SMAspot 2.0.4

We strongly advice all WebSolarLog users with SMAspot to only use "SMAspot 2.0.4" until we have solved this issue.

At the moment we work, with the SMAspot developers, on a SMAspot version which fully compatible is with WebSolarLog for now and the future.

We apologize for this issue and hope to solve it soon.

Marco,
thanks for the warning. I guess that I'll have to stick around for a little while, since the 2.04 version has a problem with a dual inverter setup.
Keep me posted since I'll be able to test both the 2.04 bug which was fixed in 2.05 and wslog.

SMAspot is working on a new release which is fully compatible with WSL. We expect the beta release within the coming weeks.

I installed SMAspot 2.0.6 and /home/pi/smaspot/bin/Release/./SMAspot -v -finq gives the correct output.
In the WSL interface / Advanced I used /home/pi/smaspot/bin/Release/./SMAspot as path for  SMAspot >2.0.6(BT):
But WSL is not reading the SMAspot data. Under the Other webpage the following error is displayed:

SMAspot V2.0.6 Yet another tool to read power production of SMA solar inverters (c) 2012-2013, SBF (http://code.google.com/p/sma-spot) Commandline Args: -cfg2 Error! Could not open file 2

What can I do to fix this ?

Hello Bas,


I am using the latest trunk version of WSL and everyting is working
You have to enter some information at 2 locations:

1)
websolarlog/admin
In the Advanced tab
Here under heading "SMAspot >2.0.6(BT):" , you fill in the location of the software.
In my case : /home/pi/smaspot/bin/R206/Release/./SMAspot

2)
websolarlog/admin
In the Device tab with the inverter.
Here under heading "(RS485/IP) address:", you fill in the location and the name of the configuration file.
In my case: /home/pi/smaspot/bin/R206/Release/SMAspot.cfg15

Hoop this will help you
