Script description

⚠️ Crucial Prerequisite

This application DOES NOT connect to MQTT directly. It is part of a split-architecture layout to save ESP32 memory. It strictly REQUIRES the MQTT Collector background script to be installed and running on your AWTRIX device to feed data via global shared memory.

Overview

The Solar Status app is a dashboard designed to visualize your real-time photovoltaic data. It packs multiple live indicators into a single 32x8 view.

UI Features

  1. Dynamic Battery Icon (Left): Draws a custom battery structure pixel-by-pixel. The core fill changes color multi-stage depending on the SOC (Red -> Orange -> Amber -> Green).
  2. Charge/Discharge Status:
    • Charging: A green pulsating lightning bolt indicators flash inside the battery. Hues and saturation adjust fluidly based on the charging wattage.
    • Discharging: A flowing line travels downwards inside the battery
    • Standby: A dimmed single pixel glows inside the center.
  3. Centered Yield Display: your current daily generation string.
  4. PV Live Output Bar (Bottom Row): A customizable golden progress bar mapping your current generation output.

Setup Instructions

  1. Install Dependencies First:

    • Ensure your MQTT Collector script is running and configured correctly.

  2. Install this Script:

    • Open your AWTRIX web interface.
    • Go to the Scripts tab, create a new script, and name it solar_status.
    • Paste the Berry code into the editor and press Save (Ctrl+S).

  3. Configure Data Coupling:

    • Open the Apps tab and click the Gear icon next to Solar Status.
    • Name of MQTT_Collector: Enter the namespace name of your background collector (Default: MQTT_Collector).
    • Match the respective key names for your sensor array values:
      • PV Battery SOC
      • PV Battery Power
      • PV today Power
      • PV current Power

  4. Fine-Tuning:

    • Max. PV Power: Set your plant's custom (W_p) peak value (e.g., 16000) to scale the bottom progress indicator bar.
    • Customize layout looks by picking individual hex values for Text Color, PowerLine Color, and the sub-division dots (PowerLineIndicator Color).
