What is/are your question(s)?

Any ideas on how to send a setremote command via a python script running on the same raspberry pi?

I've tried using the web api but get an unknown command response.

The ClientInterface.py program in the root folder of the project will take what the user types and send it to genmon as a command. This uses the library file in ./genmon/genmonlib/myclient.py to handle the TCP socket interface for sending the command.

To use the web interface you can use this example. This example assumes you are using HTTPS with a user name and password. The URL used for the setremote command would be something like this:

http://localhost:8000/cmd/setremote?setremote=off

change "off" to the remote command you want to use. The main options are for the commands are start,stop and starttransfer. Other commands are in the code here:

genmon/genmonlib/generac_evolution.py

Line 1529 in f849906

if Command == "start":

however not all of them work on all firmware and controller variants.

Let me know if you have any questions.

one clarifiaction, the "off" command is only for Evolution Liquid Cooled models. start, stop and starttransfer are the main commands to start, stop and start with the transfer switch activated.
