GivTCP - strange data over night

#1 Morrisinc 2025-01-09

Hi all

Not sure if this issues a follow on from the issues with the new year time/data bug. But since then I have been getting strange data on the start of each day.
Eg today data

In the GivTCP v3 logs for a few hours up to midnight - I see

2024-12-31 23:59:05,219 - GivTCP - read - [ERROR ] - runAll2 Error processing registers: ('KeyError', 'read.py', 1825)
2024-12-31 23:59:36,540 - GivTCP - read - [ERROR ] - inverter Update failed so using last known good data from cache: ((<class 'ValueError'>, ValueError("time data '2024-12-31T23:59:36.528954+00:00' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z'"), <traceback object at 0x7fba1c6ed8c0>), 1687)
2024-12-31 23:59:36,541 - GivTCP - read - [ERROR ] - runAll2 Error processing registers: ('KeyError', 'read.py', 1825)
2025-01-01 00:00:07,853 - GivTCP - read - [ERROR ] - inverter Update failed so using last known good data from cache: ((<class 'ValueError'>, ValueError("time data '2025-01-01T00:00:07.841599+00:00' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z'"), <traceback object at 0x7fba1c6ec080>), 1687)

Thanks for any help

Did you reset the date/time on your inverter per the 31/12/24 bug?

The energy dashboard screwup I’ve seen with other people, it seems that GivTCP 3 is a bit slower to update the ‘today’ sensors and this gives big spikes after midnight. If you swap to using the total sensors in the energy dashboard it should go away
