Update 03.04.18:
Getting data from the sunny portal is not possible anymore, they deactivated auto login and the homemanger does not exist anymore.
Maybe it exists in the paid version of the sunny portal, which was established some time ago by SMA.
But as I do not use the paid portal, I do not know.
Thanks for using my script, but no you have to try something else, e.g. https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/664/sma-solar-inverter-device-via-sbfspot
Inspired by Monitor your traffic with fritz box and pimatic I modified the script to read the current performance of my photovoltaics system and write it into a pimatic variable.
I used a php script I wrote for this before, but then I saw how to use curl within a shell script, which makes it easier to use without having to have php installed.
My photovoltaics system comes with an inverter from manufacturer SMA. Normally the data of these inverters can be fetched from the Sunny Portal if the inverter is connected to the internet.
Here’s the script:

I read the data every minute via cron and display it in a variable device in the pimatic frontend.
Maybe someone can use this for a similar pv system as mine.
Update 2015-04-30
I made some rules to calculate the total performance off a day and tested that for 13 days now, the result looks good in a comparison to the values that the solar system itself delivers:
| Date | ____ | Reported by solar system | ____ | Calculated by pimatic rules | ____ | Diff absolute | ____ | Diff % |
|----------------- |------ |-------------------------: |------ |----------------------------: |------ |--------------: |------ |-------: |
| 17.04.2015 | | 16,12 | | 16,00 | | -0,12 | | -0,77% |
| 18.04.2015 | | 37,44 | | 37,86 | | 0,42 | | 1,12% |
| 19.04.2015 | | 45,81 | | 45,83 | | 0,02 | | 0,05% |
| 20.04.2015 | | 44,01 | | 44,00 | | -0,01 | | -0,02% |
| 21.04.2015 | | 43,74 | | 43,71 | | -0,03 | | -0,08% |
| 22.04.2015 | | 42,39 | | 42,35 | | -0,04 | | -0,09% |
| 23.04.2015 | | 44,78 | | 44,80 | | 0,02 | | 0,06% |
| 24.04.2015 | | 44,72 | | 44,72 | | 0,00 | | 0,01% |
| 25.04.2015 | | 14,40 | | 14,43 | | 0,03 | | 0,21% |
| 26.04.2015 | | 40,62 | | 40,66 | | 0,04 | | 0,10% |
| 27.04.2015 | | 19,12 | | 19,30 | | 0,18 | | 0,92% |
| 28.04.2015 | | 18,69 | | 18,69 | | 0,00 | | -0,02% |
| 29.04.2015 | | 39,62 | | 39,90 | | 0,28 | | 0,71% |
| Total | | 451,46 | | 452,25 | | 0,788 | | 0,17% |
|
So I have just little differences and that’s ok for me, I can live with a tolerance of 0.17%
Here are the rules and variables I use:
{
"name": "pvperformance",
"value": 0
},
{
"name": "pv_daily_performance",
"value": 0
},
{
"name": "pv_total_performance",
"value": 0
},
{
"name": "last_pv_update",
"value": 0
}
{
"id": "calculate-kwh-per-minute",
"name": "Calculate KWh per minute",
"rule": "if $pvperformance gets updated and $last_pv_update = 0 then $pv_daily_performance = round( $pv_daily_performance + ( $pvleistung.pvperformance / 60000 ),3) and $last_pv_update = date(\"hh\") * 3600 + date(\"mm\") * 60 + date(\"ss\")",
"active": true,
"logging": false
},
{
"id": "calculate-kwh-per-minute-2",
"name": "Calculate KWh per minute 2",
"rule": "if $pvperformance gets updated and $last_pv_update > 0 then $pv_daily_performance = round( $pv_daily_performance + ( $pvleistung.pvperformance / ((60 / (date(\"hh\") * 3600 + date(\"mm\") * 60 + date(\"ss\") - $last_pv_update) )*60000 )),3) and after 5 seconds $last_pv_update = date(\"hh\") * 3600 + date(\"mm\") * 60 + date(\"ss\") - 5",
"active": true,
"logging": false
},
{
"id": "calculate-total-pv-performance",
"name": "Calculate total PV performance",
"rule": "if it is 23:59 then $pv_total_performance = $pv_total_performance + $pv_daily_performance",
"active": true,
"logging": true
},
{
"id": "reset-daily-pv-performance",
"name": "Reset Daily PV Performance",
"rule": "if it is 00:01 then $pv_daily_performance = 0",
"active": true,
"logging": true
},
{
"id": "reset-last-pv-update-var",
"name": "Reset last pv update var",
"rule": "if it is 00:01 then $last_pv_update = 0",
"active": true,
"logging": true
}
These rules work with a cron job that get the values every minute. If the cronjob is set to another time one of the rules has to be changed.
E.g. for 2 minutes the rule with the id “” this has to be changed: $pvleistung.pvperformance / 120000
The value is: minutes * 60 * 1000
Have fun…
