Hi,
I'm having trouble connecting to the meter.
Here is the error msg:

The host ip, is the Fronius Inverter IP?

config.ini
[DEFAULT]
AccessType = OnPremise
SignOfLifeLog = 1

[ONPREMISE]
Host=192.168.1.105
MeterID = 1
intervalMs = 800
CustomName = VIR1 Fronius Smart Meter
Role = grid
#Role = acload
#Role = genset
#Role = pvinverter

Thanks for the help

In case anyone else stumbles onto this like I just did:

Stopping the service doesn't seem to unregister it from dbus, so if you try to start it again you get this error:
Bus name already exists: com.victronenergy.grid.http_40

There are probably easier ways to do this, but just restarting the cerbo allows the service to start again.
