Elios4you Data

Melkor82 · January 15, 2021, 6:57pm

If anyone got the elios4you device to see info about their solar panel information i found out the way to integrate it and collect data from the telnet server. I only care about 4 values but there are much more if needed. I share my node red configuration

Complimenti!!! Lavoro fantastico, erano anni che cercavo un modo di interfacciarmi con Elios,
ora posso recuperare tutte le informazioni che mi servono.

userweb2018 · April 20, 2021, 1:16pm

Salve Davide,
anche io posseggo elios4you che attualmente monitorizzo con lo smartphone.
Sono 2 anni che utilizzo openHAB2 come piattaforma di domotica, ora però mi trovo in difficoltà nell’integrare questo dispositivo.
Tramite telnet riesco a interrogare il dispositivo e leggere i dati, ma qui mi fermo!
Su openhab non ho trovato nulla, mentre ho visto che te sei riuscito.
Puoi aiutarmi?
Grazie in anticipo.

Melkor82 · April 20, 2021, 2:03pm

My name is Marco and not Davide i will answer in english as it is a international forum. In my guide i used node red so you can install a node red instance on your openhab and use the first part of the flow

userweb2018 · April 20, 2021, 2:38pm

Thank you Marco, sorry for the mistake with your name!
I never used nod red, I will try.
Thanks

Melkor82 · April 20, 2021, 3:05pm

No problem, by the way the correct way to get an answer from the elios4you is to establish a telnet connection to the 5001 port. As soon as you get a connection you send a “@dat” and you will get all the measures from the device

userweb2018 · April 20, 2021, 6:01pm

Thanks Marco, I am able the have the information via telnet but after I am lost because I never used nod re.
Working in progress!

userweb2018 · May 22, 2021, 1:42pm

Hi Marco, finally I can read the data from the Elios4You and used in openHAB, and I discovered other command to send @inf(system info) @sta(daily peak and month peack)… Will be interesting to discover all the rest of the command to have all the data like the app.

Melkor82 · May 25, 2021, 2:25pm

nice catch! It will be useful for someone else indeed

alexdelprete · June 1, 2021, 11:18pm

Marco, I just found out googling that there was a way to get data out of the E4U, tried it first via telnet and it worked, then I was thinking how to implement it in HA and after 1 hour of tinkering I thought: “let’s do a quick search and see if someone else already did it…” and I found your post.

Since I have a 3-phase system, I’ll probably adapt it adding the values for all 3 phases.

You saved me a lot of work. Thank you so much.

Hi! I’m from Italy too

How did you find these commands that can be sent via telnet?
I didn’t find any documentation online unfortunately.

Luca

userweb2018 · July 16, 2021, 8:58am

Hi Luca P,
unfortunately there is not documentation…
I just tried lots of commands via telnet, but i think there are much more!
The only way is to ask to the elios4you service, but I think that they are not to give us!

Sorry guys, I’m a beginner interested to integrate my Febos-HP (it seems to me that it uses the Elios4You cloud) in my Home Assistant. I tried do understand previously messages, but I don’t know where to start. I just installed Node Red as add-on in my HASSIO instance, not able to move on. Could someone explain how to do that? Thanks

Melkor82 · September 2, 2021, 4:12pm

It is not based on the Elios4You cloud but directly connecting on the physical device that should be on the same network

bone90 · September 2, 2021, 6:46pm

Ciao Marco, my Febos-HP device and my Home Assistant are connected to the same network. Febos-HP seems to be the Elios4You device, I was also able to link it to the Elios4You mobile app. Via telnet I’m able to see my solar system information. So I think it can be integrated in the same way of Elios4You, but don’t know how do to it in Node-RED based on your input.

mgrespan · December 19, 2021, 10:12pm

Thank you very much. It’s very usefull.

Microclisma · May 17, 2022, 5:17pm

Great Flow, works like a charm. Did anyone find a way to check and control the Febos thermostat too?

FabioRaineri · May 15, 2023, 12:29pm

Has anyone had any problems since the last update of HA 2023.5???. It always worked perfectly since a few days it doesn’t work anymore…

Microclisma · May 16, 2023, 1:53pm

Still working perfectly for me

JLT · February 5, 2024, 9:26pm

Hi,
wonderful idea, that I have been looking for for a long time!
I have an E4U and I want to recover data in Home assistant.
The solution you give is great, but I can’t seem to implement it
A little help would really be appreciated. Thanks a lot

PS : I find a solution, it’s ok with another file on github. thank you
