💫 First of all thank you for your Wishes 💫

I wanted to share with you the information that we are close to 10 people using this software.

The 10th person could be in Mali (in contact since yesterday). That would be really cool.

The video online on YouTube has exceeded 1500 views in France alone. This shows that there is interest in inverters of our type.

Now I want to ask you if you have any ideas – needs – specific projects to add to this software.

I have the feeling that it could be used with a home automation part which is perfectly complementary.

Moreover it is what some of us already do. Your ideas, proposals are welcome.

Oh yes, a good news, Michel who is the first smartphoton user starts by himself to write code with Node Red which is the engine I used to build the software. I encourage you to dive into it if like me you want to develop without any programming knowledge.

It would be cool to integrate your code into mine 😎

 

Project in progress:

Still with Michel, we are working on a “solar detector”, this one will give us the possible amount of energy that our solar panels could provide. This detector will be placed right next to the field of panels to be in the same conditions.

The objective is to be able to activate a load (ex: water heater, electric car, PAC, etc) only if the potential of our panels is able to cover these new consumers. Currently, we can just switch on and see passively if they can provide enough energy or not. It is not possible in this situation to automate anything without making a gas factory.

Best thoughts.
