AC-Positions

[kevbenjam]

Hello, how do I know what's the correct AC-Position in dbus-opendtu? Currently with v3.53~2 the Hoymiles inverter with configuration on AC-input is included in critical loads. As it seems this isn't correct or is it?

This should be the default for most installations 0=AC input 1;
This one if it is really behind the Victron and then it would be a critical load mostly.
1=AC output

Thanks @henne49, it really was 0 instead of 1 in my case. It seems to be I misunderstood because 2 aka output 2 isn't labeled as such in the config.example / There it is labeled as AC input 2 instead of AC output 2 in the explanation: "# AcPosition 0=AC input 1; 1=AC output; 2=AC input 2" / For elimination of the issue of confusion it could be better to explain it as "# AcPosition 0=AC input; 1=AC output 1; 2=AC output 2" / As it confused me in process of configuration it could be that someone gets confused as well

well we used the terminology in https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/dbus#pv-inverters
/Position <- 0=AC input 1; 1=AC output; 2=AC input 2
