This is the version 2.0, this version is dedicated to Axpert MAx 7.2K owners (Should also work with others models) This software will drive your inverter, expose & stores metrics (including Pylontech Battery stats)
InfluxDb and Grafana are embedded inside the container (Can be disabled).
Version 1.0 still available here
The Axpert max 7.2 looks like this:
This inverter contains 1 port for computer communication (RJ45 look).
- ARM Raspberry or AMD64 linux compatible hardware, and a communication cable communication cable
- Python 3.9.18 (no guarantee that others versions works, viva Python !)
- docker/docker-compose for simplicity
- Send all available commands to Axpert Max (All implemented)
- API exposure (for Domotic/Automation usages)

Log says can't connect to usb
Wait at least to the 40 tries, sometimes, it takes time to connect.
No data available in
