Solar API Integration

[Toy4Rick (Rick S)]

Hello all,

We just had Solar installed at home and the API can be published for use. Here is what the Web site says, “With the Enlighten Systems API, software developers can write external applications that read system production data. These applications may ask you to enter a user id in order to make API requests on your behalf.”

There is an Android app as well which seems to show the same data as the web site, not sure if that makes any difference or not.

So my questions are

1. Are there any apps that I can use to tap into this API such as SmartTiles or ???
2. Can you walk me through the process or point me to good documentation, keeping in mind that I am not a developer

Thanks in advance
Rick

You should try my device type for the Envoy - it talks to your envoy on the local LAN which removes the need for a developer account and all rate limits and such):

[UNSUPPORTED] Enphase Envoy (local access)

This is my first attempt at creating and releasing a device type - a power & energy meter for a solar system running Enphase inverters. It connects to the Enphase Envoy on the local LAN and thus is not bound to any rate limits or contingent on setup of a developer account with Enphase. This was inspired by this post (with the linked code unfortunately no longer being available). [image][image] A few notes: Unfortunately it is not possible to set dynamic colors on tiles - the main tile will turn green for production of 2kW or more (you could adjust that depending on system size) The peak percentage is based on maximum theoretical output (number of inverters multiplied with inverter size) Peak power is not reported by the envoy - this is the maximum value the device type encountered d…

Note that I have only tried this with the “old-style” Envoy - if you have an Envoy-S some tweaks might be needed (though I would gladly help you out to extend the device type to support those as well in case the API is different).
