Zzzt!

Zzzt! is a monitor for Solarmax inverters provided under GPLv3.


INSTALL :
This a web based php application so you must copy this directory within an Apache with mod_php server. Then point to http://your_server/zzzt to use it.

The PHP Command Line Interface (php-cli) is used by
- the statistics bot that write on a database :
- the simulator (testers and developers only)
It needs also the php-mysqli, php-mbstring, php-gd and php-sockets extensions.


STATISTICS:
After you have configured Zzzt! from the Web Interface, you can record statistics to a MySQL database, with a bot.

You must launch the bot from the folder standalone_crontab :
  php crontab_monitor.php


SIMULATOR :
The simulator is  the software that will allow you to test Zzzt! if you don't have an inverter, or at night, when the inverter is offline.
Simply launch it from the simulator folder :

php simu2.php -ip your_ip_address, then configure Zzzt! to your_ip_address.

Then, configure Zzzt!  to use it.

At the moment, it only provides random values, so that we can test extreme values within Zzzt!
