SMA Energy Meter and SMA Sunny Tripower 5000TL, how these works together with Loxone?

[Gast]

Do you have any idea how to read values from this energy meter?

Or do I have to buy Loxone's own energy meter to do this?

Or is it possible to read the values directly from this solar panel inverter?

Thanks!

Here is a description how to get the values over Modbus

Don't know if your inverer is supported.

Concerning the Energy Meter:
If you're using the Energy Meter in combination with some other SMA device like the Home Manager or a Sunny Island there is no way to read the values direcly using loxone. The Energy Meter only pushes its values via UDP-Multicast to SMA-devices and the Miniserver is not able to receive any Multicast-messages.
If you have a Sunny Island using the data of the Energy Meter you can however get the values indirectly by reading the Sunny Island via Modbus/TCP, compare the link Michael gave above.

Concerning the Tripower:
Basically it is possible to read the values from SMA Tripower-inverters via Modbus/TCP as Micheal wrote above. Only you have to assure your inverter has Modbus/TCP onboard. This depends on the generation you're using. All STPxx TL-21-devices should work, if you have some TL-20-device you have bad luck.

I found it was cheaper to use SMA-bluetooth and a raspberry pi than to buy the webbox..
