Help Getting Battery Percentage

[tropicthedev]

Hi, I have a Growatt Inverter. I have Grott setup, but I am not seeing any fields about the current battery level.

This is an example of my current MQTT thread

This does not look good. You have to specify your invertype (invtype=).

What is your inverter type?

[tropicthedev]

Oh, I did not see that, I have an Off The Grid Growatt Inverter so SPF if I am not mistaken. I have added it to my docker-compose environments section. This is what I am getting

It's supposed to be ginvtype not invtype. All environment variables for grott start with g.

Darn it, thank you for pointing that out.
