Control of Sonnen Batteries via Virtual Output

[Not as smart as my home]

Hi All,

Hope you can help me. I have spent days trawling the web and trying various options and combinations in the Virtual Output block.

I am trying to set up a PUT command to control my Sonnen battery. I can do this with the following command in Terminal (not in Safari for some reason) and get the expected results. However I have not worked out how to break it down into a usable format for Loxone – Please help!

curl -X PUT -d EM_OperatingMode=10 --header 'Auth-Token: XXXXX 770-f236-466a-be70-XXXXXXXXXXXX'http://192.xxx.0.xxx:80/api/v2/configurations

I generally get 401’s or 301’s faults in the HTTP reader depending upon the way I have tried to lay out the command.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Setting up the Virtual Output can be a bit hit-and-miss. The following link has some good examples for the Node-Red structure for the PUT commands -

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/sonnenbatterie-with-apiv2-webhook/264907/82?page=4

Try the following format for Loxone (only for Operating Mode ) -






If the inital example doesn't work, try variations of 'HTTP body for ON' as -

"EM_OperatingMode=10"

or

{EM_OperatingMode=10}

or

EM_OperatingMode=10

Hi Tico, thanks for the feed back. Not sure I am making any progress though, although I now get 403 Forbidden as a response, which I think translates as the server recognises the request but refuses to authorise?

I have tried adding the marks ' to the beginning and end of the Auth-token as needed when sending via Terminal but that does not help and I just get a 401 responce.

I notice that Loxone is adding in commands when sending - would that cause a problem?

PUT /api/v2/configurations HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 192.XXX.0.XXX\r\nUser-Agent: [en]\r\nContent-Length: 21\r\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8\r\nConnection: close\r\nAuth-Token: XXXXXX770-f236-XXXX-be70-XXXXX6a86f6e

Thanks very much for your help.

The additional commands Loxone is sending shouldn't cause issues. Here is a link that seems to have a working Virtual Output -

Address -

http://192.XXX.0.XXX

Command for ON

/api/v2/configurations?EM_OperatingMode=10

HTTP header for On

Auth-Token: XXXXXX770-f236-XXXX-be70-XXXXX6a86f6e\r\nContent-Type: application/json

HTTP body for ON

<v>

HTTP Method for ON
PUT



Command for OFF

/api/v2/configurations?EM_OperatingMode=2

HTTP header for OFF

Auth-Token: XXXXXX770-f236-XXXX-be70-XXXXX6a86f6e\r\nContent-Type: application/json

HTTP body for OFF

Hi All,

Not sure if anyone else had a problem but Sonnet have done a software update and now the above does not work. I guess there needs to be a different format in Loxone now but Im a bit lost again... The above was all working perfectly until the update.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks very much,

Great, thanks Tico.

I see the important thing is to use a colon and not the equals sign that worked previously....

Thanks again.
