Growatt spf3000 talks to Victron (venusOS)??

[PetePetePete]

Can it happen??

They don't natively, but you didn't say what victron device exactly.
There's the modbus and VE.bus and RS485 protocols.
You mean the inverter talk to a victron SLA battery, or to Cerbo GX, or ?

My growatts are shy, they don't talk to anyone. I run strictly open loop, and it works very well.

I'll clarify.
I run a Pi3B with VenusOS... can I connect (and get info) from the Growatt unit to the Pi3B???

Sorry you lost me with that. I understand that the cerbo GX may be a Rasberry Pi device running Venus OS (Not certain on that - not my knowledgable area). I don't know what a Pi3B is but maybe a Rasberry Pi "3B" which I don't know what is. I'm more of an out of the box guy sorry can't help you.

Here's some information on connecting the growatt to venusos via canbus:

Would like to see if you would be interested in writing code to allow a Growatt Inverter to communicate with Venus OS. I would be willing sponsor this project. Please let me know if this is somethi...
