===== Omnik Data Logger is a small script for uploading data from a Omniksol Solar inverter, equipped with a wifi module, to a database and/or to PVoutput.org.
This script is designed to be run as a cronjob every minute. Every time this script is run the data from the inverter will be send to the database. And with a five minute interval the data will also be uploaded to PVoutput.org as a live status.
Users reported that this script works for wifi kits with a s/n starting with 602xxxxxx to 606xxxxxx. With wifi kits in the range 601xxxxxx it is not possible to get the data directly from the inverter. So sniffing the data send to the omnik portal is required, see OmnikMQTT by wouterbaake (https://github.com/wouterbaake/OmnikMQTT) .
Owners of a Wifi kit starting with s/n 402xxxxxxx should checkout Omnikol-PV-Logger by t3kpunk (https://github.com/t3kpunk/Omniksol-PV-Logger).
- Install Python
- Install module pytz: 'pip install pytz'
- Git clone the source with
git clone https://github.com/Woutrrr/Omnik-Data-Logger.git - Copy the config-org.cfg to config.cfg
- Change the settings in config.cfg
- Test your settings with
python LiveStats.py, when successful you should see data from your inverter - Run the script with
python OmnikExport.pyor better set a scheduled task or cronjob.
With these options this will execute the script every minute.

Yes you can edit config-org.cfg directly. However if you want to update the script your settings will be overwritten with the default values. By creating config.cfg, you can preserve your settings when upgrading.
To help with development when no sun is present a small simulator script can be found in the folder Development. This script works by reading values from to database used by de MysqlOutput, but with the time shifted 6 hours back. To use the simulator, you should use the MysqlOutput to fill the database and configure database settings in de sim-config.cfg file.
An initial baseline UDPserver is available (see UDPListener.py) which will just print every message it receives from the Omnik inverter to standard out. This is similar to how the inverter logs data to the omnikportal web site. You have to add your host ip and port to the Omnik configuration for this to work. Still a work in progress. UDPOmnikFaultListener will only log status faults from the inverter and dump the fault message in the logfile.
As of May 21, 2021 this repository is discontinued. A new repository is available on github here: https://github.com/mark0100/omniklogger.git The new repository will hold an UDP Listener for Omnik messages and logging them to plugable outputs based on the work that can be found here.
