Test Scripts

This directory contains scripts for testing Octolux functionality.

They are split into three types, identified by the first few letters of the filename.

They all end up doing the same job, but over different transport mechanisms. So they can be used to test different parts of your setup.

mq_ send an MQ message to your broker, which a running server.rb will receive and act on
http_ send an HTTP request to the HTTP API on server.rb (TODO, not written yet)
(no prefix) direct TCP access - communicate directly with the inverter and do not need server.rb running at all

So for example, mq_ac_charge_on.rb and ac_charge_on.rb both enable AC charge, but the former does it by sending an MQ message which server.rb receives (and that talks to the inverter), whereas ac_charge_on.rb opens a TCP socket to the inverter and does it directly.

Therefore, if mq_ac_charge_on.rb doesn't work but ac_charge_on.rb does, you can look to the MQ side of your configuration to find the problem.
