Done some work on a 4G stick #4

Hi Darren, Well done, I thought they may have encrypted the data stream this time which would have made this method very difficult. I'm away at the moment with only a tablet so I will have a closer look when I get home in a couple of weeks. |

Coincidentally, my Solar setup, and results very similar to yours, 15 panels, 3.6kw Solis G4, south east facing. And with very similar daily outputs, topping at peak sun angles and clear sun late mornings at a fraction below 3kw. |

Hi graham-currie,
My project is out of date now. The 4th gen sticks send their info
in a different format, there are several people who have now decoded the
4th gen sticks, some using my project as a starting point.
Yes there are some lights inside the plastic, but the stick is only
powered up when the inverter is awake. It goes into a sleep state when
there is no light on the panels. I do recall my Wi-Fi stick getting
confused when plugging it in and out. The best bet is to power the
inverter down by switching off all the isolator switches, usually the DC
switch(s) first then the AC. Plug the stick back in, wait several
minutes, even half an our, there are a lot of charged capacitors that
need to discharge in the inverter, then power back up again, AC first.
You don't need any sort of Wi-Fi analyser, and it shouldn't be hidden. I
don't think you can change the access point name or turn it off the
Wi-Fi on a stick that doesn't have an ethernet port.
Thanks for the comments about the web pages. I did it to prove to myself
that I was actually saving some money. My system has been running for
nearly 3 years now and the predictions and assumptions I made on the
website are surprisingly accurate. My total bill for Gas and Electricity
is just over £200 for the year. I'm really pleased with that. You should
see your system topping out at 3.6kW in March/April. As it gets warmer
the panels are less efficient, so the peak output falls slightly.
Hope this helps.

Just discovered this project when looking for info on the Solis WiFi
logging ‘stick’.
Very impressed by your webpage data output, and by the amount of info
collected there. It’s been a couple of decades since I did some very
basic coding, and a few simple electronic projects, skills now long lost!
I’m having problems with initial setup of the stick. I was able to see
SSID, log on and link to server. However, it then disappeared from
network ( even when searched for as ‘hidden SSID). A very simple
question. When first plugged in, I saw red then green lights
illuminated through the semi translucent case. Even if I start from
scratch again, (switch off inverter, back on, wait for initialisation,
plug in stick, then no sign of any red / green llights, or WiFi signal
on network, or direct from the stick.
Does your stick have any internal lights showing under normal
operation. Maybe I am looking for a non existent WiFi signal, if it
should ‘light up’, and the lack of lights is because it’s got a
problem. (I have no fancy hardware WiFi discovering device, only
software network analysis, and looking for it as a known (hidden)
SSID. Any suggestions, before I admit failure and return it as faulty

Many thanks for quick and comprehensive reply. All as I expected, but As you suggest, I could try waiting for significantly longer than a few minutes before powering back up. Especially as you seem to recall it getting confused’ when plugging in and out.... and I’ve done plenty of that in attempting to get it to show signs of life. |

Hi again graham-currie,
I have a conventional hot water storage here that supplies hot
water to the whole house. It was originally heated by gas only, I fitted
an emersion heater when I had the panels installed. I have a Solar
iBoost to divert spare electricity to heat the water. It costs me about
50p/day to heat the water with gas, from about March to October I vary
rarely need to use gas at all.
Hope your Wi-Fi stick has come back to life. Looking forward to a bit
more sunshine now. Last year was my best year!

You have impressive low energy costs. We have only had p.v. panels up
for 2 weeks, and main reason I want to monitor elec generation and
usage is to calculate optimum size for a new mains pressure / unvented
h.w. cylinder. (h.w. currently from gas combi). I already have a Solic
200 ‘diverter’ and cabling to the proposed cylinder location, but
still working out options; possibly separating off kitchen and family
bathroom onto solar immersion, but keeping our attic room en-suite
bathroom / shower from combi, so always have that option when not much
solar available. Fortunately, our pipe routes look as though the
separating into 2 circuits may be relatively easy.
Gas being relatively cheap per KWh compared to electric, I only want
to make use of electric water heating when ‘free’ surplus solar
available. Meanwhile, I think if I base the generation figures on your
data it will be of use to me. Especially as I want to install before I
will have typical year round figures. So again, thanks for making the
data available to more than just yourself .
All best
Graham

Hello again.
The 'stick' is cleary non functional, now being returned, and a replacement
already on its way.
There is quite a lot of quality info available on the inverter itself,
though even that has a few anomolies.
e.g somewhere It states shutdown sequence as AC first then DC, then startp
also as AC then DC.
I had already thought this was illogical first because most shutdown /
startup operations would be the reverse operation,
and secondly, because after dark, the DC has effectively shut itself down
anyway while AC still live.
Solis seem a bit too confident that the stick is a simple plug and play, so
little info on how it should work, or fault finding.
Not even any mention of any coloured lights, which I would assume are there
to inform, rather than to be pretty!
I'm not assuming, or basing any calculations on last summer.
Unfortunately I think endless sunny days most of the summer will remain an
exception.
At least this week lokking good so far.
Regards
Graham

Hi Graham,
Thank you for your email.
Our temp in Cape Town is 31.5 deg C @ 15:33 GMT+2
I have got to a point where Darren's and your merged scripts are running
and connecting to the mosquitto broker on HA.I see no data
The mission continues.

Hi Graham, I've just set up a Wifi stick on my Solis 3.6 4G. I have your script running on a Raspi nearby. It is listening but doesn't hear anything ! ..... mind you the stick only arrived this morning. One simple question ..... I set up the LAN address of my server and kept your port suggestion of 9999 and then I completed the wizard. The stick is reporting perfectly to the https://m.ginlong.com/ website. Now I reread your text instructions it maybe I have to reset and ignore the reporting to ginlong as perhaps the stick will only report to one or other of the defined servers and since its working with ginlong it doesn't send any data to the local server .... is this a correct assumption ? |

Hi Sean
Wow a quick response indeed …. Many thanks …..
I was just about to go and take the case off mine and reset it ….. and start again and make sure I did what I wanted to do in terms of local server address and port# ….
The main outstanding question for me is to those who have it working is ….. have you, at the same time, enabled the first IP to point to the to the ginseng website by completing the wizard ?
OR have you just enabled the 2nd IP and saved and reset the stick ?
I planned to look at your “decode” because you are on a 4G Solis invertor ….. and you’ve figured out some of the register addresses …… if/when I eventually untangle more then I’ll let you know for sure.

..... I set up the LAN address of my server and kept your port suggestion

to the https://m.ginlong.com/ website. Now I reread your text

as perhaps the stick will only report to one or other of the defined
servers and since its working with ginlong it doesn't send any data to the
local server .... is this a correct assumption ?

Hi Sean, good news that the Solis reports to both servers in your case …… by the way your picture attachment go blocked by my phone & tablet (Android) and laptop (Outlook on Win10)
I’ll go for the reset ….. and redo the settings …

Hey Guys, Just got my Solis installed and running today in Sydney - they are currently shutdown as it is night. In terms of getting the output to the two servers

Hi Craig,
Until now I’ve had absolutely no success receiving anything from the wifi stick and my network sniffer doesn’t spot the stick sending data to the ginlong website – but it does 😊
I reached the config_hide page and set the 2nd server to point to my socket receiver on (192.168.1.210 port 9999) but nothing arrives.
After setting the second server setting I then went to the normal start-up page of the stick and ran quickly through the wizard so the stick could connect to my wifi ….. then it restart and
Started to send data to the ginlong website but nothing to me ….. I wonder now if I should simply ignore their website and set all the addresses to point to my server which is sitting “listening”.
You said that “when i configured the address in this new webpage i can see it attaching to my Ubuntu VM" …. Can you explain what you did after “configuring the address” ?
Many thanks in advance ……. David

Hey Guys,
Just got my Solis installed and running today in Sydney - they are currently shutdown as it is night.
In terms of getting the output to the two servers
1. It only outputs every 5 minutes if you have it in TCP Client mode
2. If you go to the URL http:\YOUR_INVERTER_IP\config_hide.html you can get at the extra settings you need (from what i have found so far
3. When i add a 2nd Server - as you have noted no data was coming out - when i configured the address in this new webpage i can see it attaching to my Ubuntu VM

David,
In the new screen that I found – I changed the setting to be TCP Client and the port that I was interested in (when it was set as TCP server I could not change the IP address – it was greeyd out and was set to their default startup IP address.)
I then ran the Listener Python script from here
https://github.com/XtheOne/Inverter-Data-Logger/
And could see the Inverter attaching to the listener
My inverters then went to sleep for the end of the day – so I will continue experimenting tomorrow and report back

OK more updates on my progress or lack thereof. The WIFI sticks (as probably everyone knows already) are made by IGEN/Solarman. The Solis/Ginlong website is just a rebranded version of their system. It appears to be random but the majority of new sticks are now using the V5 protocol when sending data to Ginlong. They also appear to totally ignore the 2nd server setting and never send anything out. For future reference the Solis 3P5K-4G inverter that i have (i have two of them) has a single RS485 bus that is exposed to us - when using the WIFI dongle it is plugged into that RS485 bus and will only work with the inverter set to address 1. So having multiple inverters means there is no way to have two of them on the same RS485 bus. Igate also make a WIFI box for the situation where you may have multiple inverters - it is marketed by Solis as the DLB (Data Logging Box) - here in Australia it sells for $350 ex gst and then you have to buy a wiring loom for it - RJ45 on the DLB end and RS485 Circular 4 pin connector - which is an ExceedCon unit and is extremely hard to source - still looking for that seperately. I intend to ditch the WIFI stick and move to RS485 between the inverters and my monitoring system Craig |

I’ve been away from my hobby desk after back-surgery, but now I’m starting to (re)get up to speed by sniffing my network and nothing is being sent to the 2nd server here either. My stick has “402” designation so I’m going to try the intercept of the main server code that was posted for 402 sticks (https://github.com/t3kpunk/Omniksol-PV-Logger). I’ll report back

David,
I have just started messing around with a docker image that I found online that scrapes the data from the Solarman/Solis/Ginlong site.
It looks promising – I just have to adapt it for my 3 phase units and might use that as the interim step
Here is the link if you are interested – takes no time to spin up the docker image

Hi Craig,
I “gave up” on the scraping and redirecting route and decided to “hack” my ‘402’ stick by adding a ‘Raspberry Pi Zero W’ and USB-RS485 adapter (yes it will all fit inside the original stick !!!). So I retain the Ginlong wifi-stick website reporting and added my own private data-grab. A little bit of Python3 to send modbus group 4 register reads to the Solis …. which are then decoded and shipped as serialised (pickled) through a python LAN socket to my hot water tank immersion heater controller (another RasPi Zero W). Low cost, low effort and It works really well grabbing updates every minute. The tank side ‘listens’ 24/7 and of course the Solis side shuts down overnight, which upset the tank-side watchdog so I’m currently rewriting some of the tank-side code to accommodate and at the same time producing some hourly ‘matplotlib’ graphics. I’m happy with this solution and will share if you are interested. Let me know.
RSVP ……… David

Subject: Re: [graham0/ginlong-wifi] Done some work on a 4G stick (#4)
OK more updates on my progress or lack thereof.
The WIFI sticks (as probably everyone knows already) are made by IGEN/Solarman. The Solis/Ginlong website is just a rebranded version of their system.
It appears to be random but the majority of new sticks are now using the V5 protocol when sending data to Ginlong. They also appear to totally ignore the 2nd server setting and never send anything out.
For future reference the Solis 3P5K-4G inverter that i have (i have two of them) has a single RS485 bus that is exposed to us - when using the WIFI dongle it is plugged into that RS485 bus and will only work with the inverter set to address 1.
So having multiple inverters means there is no way to have two of them on the same RS485 bus.
Igate also make a WIFI box for the situation where you may have multiple inverters - it is marketed by Solis as the DLB (Data Logging Box) - here in Australia it sells for $350 ex gst and then you have to buy a wiring loom for it - RJ45 on the DLB end and RS485 Circular 4 pin connector - which is an ExceedCon unit and is extremely hard to source - still looking for that seperately.
I intend to ditch the WIFI stick and move to RS485 between the inverters and my monitoring system

That sounds like a cracking solution. I too gave up on the ginlong stick long ago, would frequently drop off the network and not report for days. :/ Got loads of Pi zero and RS485 adapters spare, so sounds like a great plan.

Darren, it would be simpler to be in direct email contact rather then via github ……
Let me know …..
& where are you located ?

Hi Craig, I “gave up” on the scraping and redirecting route and decided to “hack” my ‘402’ stick by adding a ‘Raspberry Pi Zero W’ and USB-RS485 adapter (yes it will all fit inside the original stick !!!). So I retain the Ginlong wifi-stick website reporting and added my own private data-grab. A little bit of Python3 to send modbus group 4 register reads to the Solis …. which are then decoded and shipped as serialised (pickled) through a python LAN socket to my hot water tank immersion heater controller (another RasPi Zero W). Low cost, low effort and It works really well grabbing updates every minute. The tank side ‘listens’ 24/7 and of course the Solis side shuts down overnight, which upset the tank-side watchdog so I’m currently rewriting some of the tank-side code to accommodate and at the same time producing some hourly ‘matplotlib’ graphics. I’m happy with this solution and will share if you are interested. Let me know. RSVP ……… David

David,
Great minds and all that – I too have given up on the data scraping it worked pretty well – but just was not updated frequently enough.
Could not crack the V5 protocol to get the Webserver to output to local more frequently either.
So In the end I found another project where someone had taken an ESP8266 and used it to jump onto the Modbus and do the querying and reporting.
I almost have this working now after a bit of hacking around – and you are right it does fit in the wifi shell – just a little tight.
So I should end up with both the Solarman reporting and my own inhouse stuff.
I have a couple of Rpi around the house – no Ws yet though – sounds like a great project so If you are happy to share notes etc I might gravitate up to this – did you just tap into the 5v from the inverter to power the Pi ?
I was just in the process of documenting my ESP8266 adventures (and trying to tidy up the Frankenstein prototype I setup for testing.)

David,
I have just started messing around with a docker image that I found online that scrapes the data from the Solarman/Solis/Ginlong site.
It looks promising – I just have to adapt it for my 3 phase units and might use that as the interim step
Here is the link if you are interested – takes no time to spin up the docker image

I’ve been away from my hobby desk after back-surgery, but now I’m starting to (re)get up to speed by sniffing my network and nothing is being sent to the 2nd server here either. My stick has “402” designation so I’m going to try the intercept of the main server code that was posted for 402 sticks (https://github.com/t3kpunk/Omniksol-PV-Logger). I’ll report back

Fascinating reading! Did anyone ever make any more progress with the 5G inverter and newer sticks? |

Hi NickSutton. I don't know. It will rely on someone who owns one to have a play with it.
Graham.

Hi,
Just wanted to say thanks for the work you did, gave me a great starting point for reverse engineering the protocol on a 4G stick.
https://github.com/dpoulson/ginlong-mqtt
Still a lot of work to do on it, they don't make it easy do they? Also tempted to possibly hook it up to a different supply so that it is on all the time, not just when there is solar. Maybe also crack it open and see what its running.
