# isv
**isv** is utility for controlling Voltronic hybrid solar inverters that use P18 protocol. **isv** has full P18
support with all known methods implemented. It was written for use with InfiniSolar V 5kW inverter and it's the only
inverter it has been tested with so far, but it should work with other inverters using P18 protocol as well. Adding
support for other protocols (such as P16 or P17) by splitting them into separate modules is possible in future.
For now, only USB connection is supported and tested (I just don't have the RS-232 cable with this weird RJ-style plug
lol), but RS-232 support will be added eventually.
It's written in pure C99 with almost zero dependencies. It uses [libvoltronic](https://github.com/jvandervyver/libvoltronic)
for underlying device interaction, but you don't need to download and build it separately as **isv** comes with its own
slightly modified libvoltronic version.
It can output data in different formats (human-readable tables, conveniently-parsable tables and even JSON) so you can
easily integrate it in your project.
For now only Linux and macOS are supported and tested. Other operating systems will be supported later.
## Requirements
- `pkg-config`
- `hidapi`
- On Linux, you should be able to install it from your distro's package manager
- On macOS, `brew install hidapi`
## Building
Just run `make`. If you want to install it, `make install` will do the job.
## Usage
Run `isv` without arguments to see the full options list. For the sake of good readmes it's also written here.
### Common options
- **`-r`** `COMMAND`<br>
**`--raw`** `COMMAND` - execute arbitrary command and print inverter's response.<br>
Command example: `^P005PI`
- **`-t `** `TIMEOUT`<br>
**`--timeout`** `TIMEOUT` - device read timeout, in milliseconds.<br>Example: `-t 5000`
- **`-v`**, **`--verbose`** - print debug information, like hexdumps of communication traffic with inverter
- **`-p`**, **`--pretend`** - do not actually execute anything on inverter, but output some debug info. Little use for
normal people. Doesn't work with `--raw`.
- **`-f`** `FORMAT`<br>
**`--format`** `FORMAT` - output format for `--get-*` and `--set-*` options, you can find list of supported
formats below.
### Get options
- **`--get-protocol-id`** - returns protocol id. Should be always `18` as it's the only one supported.
- **`--get-date-time`** - returns date and time from inverter
- **`--get-total-generated`** - returns total generated energy, in kWatts (or Watts?). The documentation says it should be
kilowatts, but my inverter says that we generated almost 200,000 for the last two months... It's must be Watts. My
guess is that it reports Watts first and when it reaches some kind of integer limit it switches to kWatts.
- **`--get-year-generated`** `YYYY` - returns generated energy for specified year, in kWatts (or Watts? see above)
- **`--get-month-generated`** `YYYY` `MM` - returns generated energy for specified month, in kWatts (or Watts? see above)
- **`--get-day-generated`** `YYYY` `MM` `DD` - returns generated energy for specified day, in Watts.
- **`--get-series-number`** - returns series number. Or maybe serial number. The documentation is written by Chinese in
bad english.
- **`--get-cpu-version`** - returns main and slave CPU versions.
- **`--get-rated-information`** - returns rated information.
- **`--get-general-status`** - returns general status, many cool stuff here. Usually this is what you want to read.
- **`--get-working-mode`** - returns working mode.
- **`--get-faults-warnings`** - returns fault and warning status.
- **`--get-flags`** - returns state of a set of flags, or toggles, like backlight or buzzer ON or OFF, etc.
- **`--get-defaults`** - returns default values of some changeable parameters and default flags values.
- **`--get-max-charging-current-selectable-values`**
- **`--get-max-ac-charging-current-selectable-values`**
