Add charger meter to show mv charger is pulling

[grsthegreat]

I just noticed that Generac MobilLink wifi monitoring app now shows charger mA draw. This is helpful to see how onboard controller charger is working. Is there any way for genmon to see this value in the controller?

There's not a gauge for it in the dashboard, but it is presented in the text in the detailed "status" section of the main page:

Edited to add: I think you could pretty easily create a gauge for it, too: #1046

The missing piece here is: it depends on what controller you have.

@star-glider, looks like you have an H-Panel or G-Panel

@grsthegreat you don't mentioned what controller you have. That info would be needed, along with your registers sumbitted on the about page in order to add this for Evolution controllers.

At the moment the only data for carger current is displayed if you enabled "Display Unknown Sensors" on the settings page. The reason I put this on the under unknown sensors is that I did not have a way to validate this info and I was looking for some feedback from folks with generators with controllers other than the one that I have.

I am guessing this is only for Evolution 2.0 and Evo Liquid cooled.

Specifically I am interested in register 05ee when it is charging and when it is not charging. On my controller this value never goes to zero, it goes 8 mA when not charging.

If it helps, I have an Evo 2 AC and it shows 60 with a range of 0 to 60.

I have evolution 1 controller. Status page only shows battery voltage on mine.

@grsthegreat, Is your generator hooked up to both genmon and mobiel link?

Look on the live register view page (double click the gear icon in the top right of the web interface once). Then search on 05ee. This will show the contents of modbus register. What is the contest of registr 05ee (like the screen cap that @skipfire sent).

Only hooked up to genmon. The mobilelink photo i showed is from a cell tower i monitor.

[jgyates]

What is the controller for the cell tower?

Evolution 1

I will update this thread when I have something to test. I am doing some testing now, just waiting for my battery charger to kick in.
