Hello,
I would love to be able to use uni-meter to simulate certain smart meter states. I need this because my AC Battery has solar panels connected to it, and there's no way to use it as a "dumb" micro inverter which simply generates power via solar panels and outputs it to the grid - it always wants to compensate for smart meter reading, and if I do Photovoltaic charging using my main roof install, EVCC's control loop fights the batteries control loop.
Uni meter could make it possible to sidestep this, by offering a REST API which makes it possible to lie to my battery that the meter reading is 0 (no surplus, no grid consumption), and as such it does nothing, and only generates power from connected solar panels. I use uni-meter only for the battery, so the rest of the system still knows the real meter value.
Effectively, the API could look similar to the parameter setting here, but probably a new API called "override-power" or something. It could use a GET parameter which is simply the power reading that is to be sent to all the smart meter consumers. It could also be disabled again via /api/override-power-disable, whatever you want to call it.
I hope you consider this, it would make my battery charging logic work really, really well.
I am willing to this, of course, if you decide to implement it.
Thanks!
