OpenEMS - Terawatt

Setup

Secrets

Our OpenEMS deployment requires an AWS Secret openems to exist. This is generated automatically via Terraform.

It must be manually populated with the following:

Secret Key Name	Info
influxdb-password	Generate a secure password
influxdb-token	Generate a secure password
odoo-password	Generate a secure password

NOTE: Do this before any further deployments of the application. These values help bootstrap persistent configuration.

Odoo

Upon first installation of Odoo (See below for connecting to Odoo), you must active the OpenEMS Addon.

To do this:

• Log in to Odoo
• Go to the Apps page
• Locate OpenEMS
• Click Activate

UI

When building the UI (as in the Dockerfile), environments are passed in. As an example, ng build --base-href "/openems/" -c "openems,openems-backend-prod-eks,prod"

These environments are defined in the angular.json file, which have references to the theme file they represent. This is the way that the websocket URLs are configured to point to the backend.

InfluxDB

To connect to influxDB:

• Obtain the password from AWS SSM secret "openems"
• Run: kubectl -n openems port-forward svc/openems-influxdb2 8086:8086
• Login with user admin using the password obtained above

Felix

To connect to felix:

• Run: kubectl -n openems port-forward svc/openems-backend-felix 8079:8079
• Navigate to URL: http://localhost:8079/system/console/configMgr
• Default credentials are admin/admin

Odoo

To connect to Odoo:

• Run: kubectl -n openems port-forward svc/openems-odoo 8080:80
• Navigate to URL: http://localhost:8080
• Default credentials are admin/admin

In Odoo, if you want to enable Developer Mode (which allows things like updating the Apps list): https://www.cybrosys.com/odoo/odoo-books/odoo-16-development/setup-development-environment/developer-mode

Edge Devices

Monitoring URL Endpoint

There does not currently seem to be a place to configure the Odoo Edge Monitoring URL from the UI.

To configure this, the current solution is:

• Connect to the Postgres databasse
• Edit the ir_config_parameter table data
• Update the edge_monitoring_url to the UI's edge URL. For example, https://example.com/openems/device/
