See the comments in the example shell script enand the config.ini example about how to use them.\nGood luck with them.\nThe output can be processed with [omnikdatalogger](https://github.com/jbouwh/omnikdatalogger) for output to pvoutput, mqtt, influxdb and integration with Home Assistant.\n\n## Install using pip\n`sudo pip3 install omnikdataloggerproxy`\n\nThe supporting files are installed at the folder */usr/local/share/omnikdataloggerproxy/*\n\n### Command line\n```\nusage: omnikloggerproxy.py [-h] --serialnumber SERIALNUMBER [SERIALNUMBER ...]\n [--settings FILE Path to .yaml configuration file]\n [--section Section to .yaml configuration file to use.

Specify a configfile using the --config option.\nThis way it easier tot run omnikdatalogger proxy as a docker container.\n\u003e NOTE: The use of config.ini will is decrepated and config.yaml replaces config.ini.\n\n```yaml\nomnikdatalogger:\n proxy:\n serialnumber:\n - serial1232323\n ...\n ...\n```\n\nkey | optional | type | default | description\n-- | --| -- | -- | --\n`serialnumber` | False | list | [] | List of serialnumbers of the inverters supported\n`loglevel` | True | string | `INFO` | The basic loglevel [DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL]\n`listenaddress` | True | string | `127.0.0.1` | A local available address to listen to\n`listenport` | True | int | `10004` | The local port to listen to\n`omniklogger` | True | string | _None_ | Forward to an address omnik/SolarmanPV datalogger server listens to. Set this to `176.58.117.69` as final forwarder.\n`listenport` | True | int | `10004` | The port the omnik/SolarmanPV datalogger server listens to.\n\nYou can use the mqtt based client of omnikdatalogger `localproxy.hassapi`. You need to specify `mqtt_host` to activate this feature and specify all needed attributes.\n\nConfig file settings will overrule the command line settings. The MQTT parameters will fallback to the settings in the section `output.mqtt:`. Specify a config file using the --settings (or --config) option.\nFor details see the [Omnik Data Logger README.md](https://github.com/jbouwh/omnikdatalogger#mqtt_proxy-plugin-for-the-localproxy-client-in-the-section-clientlocalproxymqtt_proxy-of-appsyaml-or-configini)\n\nThere are example config files included:\n- [`config.yaml_example.txt`](https://github.com/jbouwh/omnikdataloggerproxy/blob/main/config.yaml_example.txt)\n- [`config.ini_example.txt`](https://github.com/jbouwh/omnikdataloggerproxy/blob/main/config.ini_example.txt).\n\n#### MQTT configuration\nOmnikdatalogger proxy supports forwarding using MQTT. The Omnikdatalogger mqtt_proxy and hassapi plugin (localproxy client) can use the data published by Omnikdataloggerproxy. The MQTT can also be read from the config.yaml file under key `omnikdatalogger-\u003eproxy`.\n\n```yaml\nomnikdatalogger:\n ...\n ...\n mqtt:\n discovery_prefix: homeassistant\n ...\n ... \n```\n\n| key | optional | type | default | description |\n| -------------------- | -------- | ------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `discovery_prefix` | True | string | _'homeassistant'_ | The mqtt plugin supports MQTT auto discovery with Home Assistant. The discovery_prefix configures the topic prefix Home Assistant listens to for auto discovery. |\n| `device_name` | True | string | _'Datalogger proxy'_ | Omnik data logger proxy only setting. Overrides the name of the datalogger. |\n| `logger_sensor_name` | True | string | _'Datalogger'_ | Omnik data logger proxy only setting. Overrides the name of the datalogger datalogger sensor entity. |\n| `append_plant_id` | True | bool | _False_ | When a device_name is specified the plant id can be added to the name te be able to identify the plant. |\n| `host` | True | string | `localhost` | Hostname or fqdn of the MQTT server for publishing. |\n| `port` | True | integer | _1883_ | MQTT port to be used. |\n| `retain` | True | bool | _True_ | Retains the data send to the MQTT service |\n| `client_name_prefix` | True | string | _'ha-mqtt-omniklogger'_ | Defines a prefix that is used as client name. A 4 byte uuid is added to ensure an unique ID. |\n| `username` | False | string | _(none)_ | The MQTT username used for authentication |\n| `password` | False | string | _(none)_ | The MQTT password used for authentication |\n| `tls` | True | bool | _False_ | Secures the connection to the MQTT service, the MQTT server side needs a valid certificate |\n| `ca_certs` | True | string | _(none)_ | File path to a file containing alternative CA's. If not configure the systems default CA is used |\n| `client_cert` | True | string | _(none)_ | File path to a file containing a PEM encoded client certificate |\n| `client_key` | True | string | _(none)_ | File path to a file containing a PEM encoded client private key |\n\n\n## Using Docker\n\n### Run the docker container\n\nThe config files for omnikdataloggerproxy in the container will be will /config/config.yaml (settings), or if you would like to use the config.ini /config/config.ini. \n\nThe following command will pull the `Docker` image, mount the `config.yaml` (in the root of the container) and create the `Docker` container.\n\n```\n$ docker run --name omnikdataloggerproxy -d -v ${PWD}/config.yaml:/config.yaml -p 10004:10004 --name omnikdataloggerproxy --restart unless-stopped jbouwh/omnikdataloggerproxy:latest\n```\n\nI also added a `docker-compose.yml` that can be used. Run it at the folder where your `config.yaml` file resites. It is still possible to use `config.ini` files as well. This option is decrepated now.\n\nSo, doing exactly the same ... but using `docker-compose`:\n\n```\n$ docker-compose -f /path/to/docker-compose.yml up -d\n```\n\n\n## Prearing to run omnikdataloggerproxy.py script (manual install)\n\n* Make sure you have shell access (ssh or telnet).\n* Install pip: `curl -k https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3` See: (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47649902/installing-pip-on-a-dsm-synology)\n* Install the paho mqtt client: `/volume1/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/bin/pip3 install paho-mqtt`. The path may be diferent. I used a Synology DS218 play\n\nOn upgrades it might be necessary to reinstall pip and paho-mqtt. Make sure you chack on this after an update for your Synology.\n\nNow take the following steps:\n* Place the omnikloggerproxy.py script, the bash script (omnikproxy_example_startup.sh) and `config.ini_example.txt` to a folder that will not be affected by upgrades. E.g. `/volume1/someshare/yourscriptfolder`.\n* Rename `config.ini_example.txt` to `config.ini` and configure settings.\n* check the commandline settings in the shell script.\n* Try to execute the script to test if it is working. (You can use task plannel later to start the script at boot automatically as activated task)\n* The lines to configure iptables should run as root. The omnikproxylogger script works at userlevel too.\n* On your internet router/gateway, set up a static route for `176.58.117.69/32` to your synology.\n* Configure MQTT to forward the data to be able to use the localproxy plugin with `hassapi` or `mqtt_proxy`.\n\nYou can forward the logger trafic to the omnik servers, but if you rerouted yhe traffic for 176.58.117.69 you need to forward to a linux server elswere in the internet.\n\n## Running omnikdataloggerproxy as a service on a Debian based system\n\nYou can find the following sample service config at `/usr/local/share/omnikdataloggerproxy/omnikdatalogggerproxy.service` after installing `pip3 install omnikdataloggerproxy` as root.\n\n```ini\n[Unit]\nDescription=Omnik datalogger proxy\nAfter=network.target\n[Service]\nType=simple\nExecStart=/usr/local/bin/omnikloggerproxy.py --serialnumber NLDN123456789012 --listenaddress 0.0.0.0 --omniklogger 176.58.117.69 --omnikloggerport 10004\nUser=omnik\nGroup=users\nRestart=on-failure\nRestartSec=30s\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target\n```\nThe template service file shows a forwarding only setup.\n\nTo setup omnikdatalogger proxy as root do:\n- Create a config folder and copy the sample service script:\n - `cd /etc/`\n - `mkdir omnikdataloggerproxy`\n - `cp /usr/local/share/omnikdataloggerproxy/omnikdatalogggerproxy.config .`\n- Update `User` and *serialnumber* in the script `omnikdatalogggerproxy.config` using your favorite editor.\n - `nano omnikdatalogggerproxy.config`\n- Link the script to systemd: to `ln -s /etc/omnikdataloggerproxy/omnikdatalogggerproxy.service /etc/systemd/system/omnikdatalogggerproxy.service`\n- Enable the service: `systemctl enable omnikdatalogggerproxy`\n- Start the service: `systemctl start omnikdatalogggerproxy`\n- check if the service is running: `systemctl status omnikdatalogggerproxy`\n\nAfter some time the logging should show something similar like this:\n```\n# systemctl status omnikdataloggerproxy\nā— omnikdataloggerproxy.service - Omnik datalogger proxy\n Loaded: loaded (/etc/omnikdataloggerproxy/omnikdataloggerproxy.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)\n Active: active (running) since Sun 2020-06-21 13:33:21 CEST; 16min ago\n Main PID: 28182 (omnikloggerprox)\n Tasks: 4 (limit: 4915)\n Memory: 9.8M\n CGroup: /system.slice/omnikdataloggerproxy.service\n ā””ā”€28182 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/omnikloggerproxy.py --serialnumber NLDN123456789012 --listenaddress 0.0.0.0 --omniklogger 176.58.117.69 --omnikloggerport 10004\n\nJun 21 13:33:22 alpha omnikloggerproxy.py[28182]: omnikloggerproxy: Forwarding succesful.\nJun 21 13:38:33 alpha omnikloggerproxy.py[28182]: omnikloggerproxy: Processing message for inverter 'NLDN123456789012'\nJun 21 13:38:33 alpha omnikloggerproxy.py[28182]: omnikloggerproxy: 2020-06-21 13:38:33.795477 Forwarding to omnik logger \"176.58.117.69\"\nJun 21 13:38:33 alpha omnikloggerproxy.py[28182]: omnikloggerproxy: Forwarding succesful.\nJun 21 13:43:38 alpha omnikloggerproxy.py[28182]: omnikloggerproxy: Processing message for inverter 'NLDN123456789012'\nJun 21 13:43:38 alpha omnikloggerproxy.py[28182]: omnikloggerproxy: 2020-06-21 13:43:38.937148 Forwarding to omnik logger \"176.58.117.69\"\nJun 21 13:43:38 alpha omnikloggerproxy.py[28182]: omnikloggerproxy: Forwarding succesful.\nJun 21 13:48:50 alpha omnikloggerproxy.py[28182]: omnikloggerproxy: Processing message for inverter 'NLDN123456789012'\nJun 21 13:48:50 alpha omnikloggerproxy.py[28182]: omnikloggerproxy: 2020-06-21 13:48:50.194599 Forwarding to omnik logger \"176.58.117.69\"\nJun 21 13:48:50 alpha omnikloggerproxy.py[28182]: omnikloggerproxy: Forwarding succesful.\n```\nThe log shows when messages were forwarded.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjbouwh%2Fomnikdataloggerproxy","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjbouwh%2Fomnikdataloggerproxy","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjbouwh%2Fomnikdataloggerproxy/lists"}
