Omnik-solar

Omnik-solar provides a custom node that can listen to incoming messages from an Omnik converter. The flow opens TCP port 8899. Your Omnik converter needs to be configured to send statistics to this address.

Inverter configuration

  • Log on to Omnik inverter
  • Open menu Advanced | Remote Server
  • On the Server B row:
  • Set IP address to the (local) IP address of your server.
  • Set Domain name to the domain name of your server (or leave blank).
  • Set Port to 8899.
  • Set Connection to TCP.
  • Click Save
  • Open port 8899 in your firewall

Output

Data from the Omnik inverter is parsed and available as below properties of the msg-object.

Note, the inverter only connects and outputs data when enough sunlight is received for the internals to be awake. No data is returned at night.

Production

  • msg.omnik.currentProduction - Current production in W
  • msg.omnik.productionToday - Today's production in kWh
  • msg.omnik.productionTotal - Total production in kWh

Operational

  • msg.omnik.temperature - Current temperature in C
  • msg.omnik.hoursActive - Total hours running

Power

  • msg.omnik.pvVoltageDc1
  • msg.omnik.pvVoltageDc2
  • msg.omnik.pvVoltageDc3
  • msg.omnik.ivAmpsDc1
  • msg.omnik.ivAmpsDc2
  • msg.omnik.ivAmpsDc3
  • msg.omnik.pvVoltageAc1
  • msg.omnik.pvVoltageAc2
  • msg.omnik.pvVoltageAc3
  • msg.omnik.ivAmpsAc1
  • msg.omnik.ivAmpsAc2
  • msg.omnik.ivAmpsAc3
  • msg.omnik.frequencyAc

Inverter

  • msg.omnik.wifiSerialNumber
  • msg.omnik.inverterMainFirmwareVersion
  • msg.omnik.inverterSlaveFirmwareVersion
  • msg.omnik.inverterStatus

Debug

  • msg.omnik.rawBuffer
  • msg.omnik.rawString
