Json Data Pushed from Inverter

[Steve-Mcl]

@Bigben83 have you seen this post? Perhaps instead of the push service you could request data from its cgi endpoints?

Fronius inverter integration

Just a thought.

Yes, I had seen this, but it doesn't push the data that I'm after, it only sends power generation and consumption data.

OK, well in that case look at this...

The code shows you how to take the first key out of an object.

So in your case, you could add a function node AFTER the HTTP IN node and add the following...

Option 1 - get the key & pass it out to a JSON node

var k = Object.keys(msg.payload)[0];//get first key in the payload object
msg.payload = k; 
return msg;

or

Option 2 - turn k into an object then pass it out (no JSON node needed)

var k = Object.keys(msg.payload)[0];//get first key in the payload object
msg.payload = JSON.parse(k)
return msg;

Give it a go. Put debug nodes before & after (to see if its working)

EDIT.
Could you also paste the data you get from the inverter into your reply?

... i can then check it is valid JSON

ok this is what I got when I did the above. so that's briliant.

Nice to see you got it working. A tip for the future to make things easier for yourself (and others reading along): if you give your debug nodes a name, the name is shown up in the debug sidebar as well, so rather than "node: efe050dc.1e1e5" it will show "node: my debug node" instead
