I used the JBlance Python Mpp solar package from github to get my remote monitoring on my 2424LV, it's made for a 4048. I have a Raspberry PI 4, 64G bought for the purpose via a direct USB connection to my inverter. The USB cable came with it.
A bit of messing around to stop python 2 getting in the way of python 3 was required. You get weird error messages like STR() only has one argument. That means that you are accidentally running in python 2 (raspberry pi default) instead of python 3. I haven't got the code working for the output in watts of the PV panels but this package has a debug option which will allow me to go figure it out. I hope this inspires folks to go do likewise, it's fun stuff if you have a bit of time.
