+# OpenDTU Logger Home Assistant add-on
+
+OpenDTU logger adds detailed, long-term storage and visualisation of Hoymiles solar inverter metrics monitored with OpenDTU.
+

+
+## Installation instructions
+
+These instructions contain 3 steps:
+
+1. This add-on requires a PostgreSQL database, optionally with TimescaleDB support. In this example, we'll Expaso's TimescaleDB add-on in order to store data.
+2. Then, we install OpenDTU Logger to connect to OpenDTU and record inverter data into the database.
+3. Finally, we setup Grafana to visualise the data recorded by OpenDTU Logger.
+
+### Install Expaso's TimescaleDB add-on
+
+Install Expaso's TimescaleDB add-on by adding <https://github.com/Expaso/hassos-addons> to the add-on store and installing TimescaleDB.
+
+After installing TimescaleDB, go to Configuration. Click the three dots in the top-right corner and select "Edit in YAML". Then, make the following changes:
+
+- Add opendtu_logger to `databases` and `timescaledb_enabled` like so:
+
+```yml
+databases:
+  - homeassistant
+  - opendtu_logger
+timescale_enabled:
+  - homeassistant
+  - opendtu_logger
+timescaledb:
+  telemetry: basic
+  maxmemory: 512MB
+  maxcpus: 4
+max_connections: 50
+system_packages: []
+init_commands: []
+retry_upgrade: false
+```
+
+Save the configuration, go to the "Info" tab and start TimescaleDB.
+
+### Setting up OpenDTU Logger
+
+With the database initialised, we can now setup OpenDTU Logger. Add the [add-on repository](https://git.hollander.online/energy/home-assistant-addons) using the [instructions](https://git.hollander.online/energy/home-assistant-addons) provided. Then, click "Install" to install this add-on. Go to "Configuration".
+
+- If you're using Expaso's TimescaleDB add-on, the `db` setting will **not** require any changes.
+- **In the `opendtu` field, enter the *IP address* or *hostname* of your OpenDTU.** E.g.: `192.168.1.5` or `opendtu.local`.
+- In `tz`, enter your timezone. The default is "Europe/Amsterdam".
+- Optionally, if you don't want to use TimescaleDB, disable `timescaledb`.
+
+Save the configuration, go to the "Info" tab and start OpenDTU Logger.
+
+Check the "Log" page. If the setup is succesfull, it should contain a mesasge stating: `OpenDTU Logger has been successfully initialised. Starting data recording...`.
+
+### Setting up Grafana
+
+From the Home Assistant Community Add-ons repository, install Grafana. Click "Start" to start the add-on and then click "Open Web UI".
+
+- In the top-left corner, click the three bars (open menu) -> Connections.
+- Using the search box, enter `PostgreSQL`. Click the resulting "PostgreSQL".
+- In the top-right corner, click "Add new data source"
+- Use the following settings
+  - Name: `opendtu_logger`
+  - Host URL: `77b2833f-timescaledb`
+  - Database name: `opendtu_logger`
+  - Username: `postgres`
+  - Password: `homeassistant`
+  - Version: `16` or the closest version to it.
+  - TimescaleDB: Toggle the switch to enable TimescaleDB support.
+- Click "Save and Test". A "Database Connection OK" message should appear.
+- In the top-right corner, click the `+` sign, "Import dashboard".
+- Go to <https://git.hollander.online/energy/opendtu-logger/src/branch/main/grafana>
+  - In this folder, a number of sample dashboards is available.
+  - For a complete overview of all collected data
+    - For English, use `PV.json`.
+    - For Dutch, use `Zonnepanelen.json`.
+  - Click the dashboard you want, and then "Raw".
+    - Copy and paste the text into the "Import via dashboard JSON model" box.
+    - Click "Load".
+  - In the `energy` field, select `opendtu_logger` as the data source.
+  - Click import. You should now be able to view the data, collected by OpenDTU Logger and stored into TimescaleDB.
+  - Feel free to try out the other dashboards as well.
+
+## Configuring OpenDTU
+
+In order for OpenDTU Logger to work properly, it is required to ensure the following OpenDTU settings are used.
+
+- Within OpenDTU, go to `Settings` -> `Inverter settings` (<http://YOUR_OPENDTU_IP_ADDRESS/settings/inverter>).
+- For each inverter in the inverter list, click on the pencil (Edit inverter) and go to `Advanced`.
+- Enable `Zero daily yield at midnight` and `Clear Eventlog at midnight`.
+- Click `Save`
+- Repeat this procedure for every inverter.
+
+By default, OpenDTU sends data every 5 seconds. This can be adjusted by changing the "Poll interval" setting in <<http://YOUR_OPENDTU_IP_ADDRESS/settings/dtu>.
+
+## Security notice
+
+Using the aforementioned steps, you should now have a working OpenDTU Logger setup. However, it is important to keep your data safe. [Expaso recommends](https://github.com/Expaso/hassos-addons/tree/master/timescaledb#usage) changing the default postgres `homeassistant` password. I recommend following their recommendation and also installing the pgAdmin4 add-on using the [instructions](https://github.com/Expaso/hassos-addons/tree/master/pgadmin4) they provide. In case you're doing this after setting up OpenDTU Logger, remember to also update this password in the OpenDTU Logger config and the Grafana data source connection settings.
