This adapter allows for seamless integration between the SolisCloud API and your ioBroker ecosystem, making data retrieval from Solis devices such as solar inverters straightforward and efficient.
- Automatic detection and creation of Solis stations within ioBroker.
- Periodic data fetch for each station based on user-defined intervals.
- Implemented error-handling mechanism for API rate limits with a built-in retry mechanism.
- HMAC-SHA1 authenticated secure API calls.
- Clone this repository.
- Navigate to the cloned directory and run
npm installto pull in necessary dependencies. - Within ioBroker, configure the adapter's settings as per your requirements.
- Activate the adapter.
Before accessing the SolisCloud API, an explicit request for access is mandatory:
Apply for API key and secret:
- Navigate to the Solis Service Centre.
- Choose to submit an 'API Access Request' ticket.
- Ensure to fill in the corresponding Solis Cloud email address within the ticket.
- Wait for approval.
To get your API key and secret:
- Visit SolisCloud.
- Log in to your SolisCloud account.
- Navigate to the "User Info" section.
- Under the "API Access" tab, you'll find your
apiKeyandapiSecret. - Use these credentials in the configuration settings for the ioBroker adapter.
Following your adapter installation in ioBroker, configuration is necessary. Here's a breakdown of available configurations:
- apiKey: Your designated API key for SolisCloud.
- apiSecret: Your designated API secret for SolisCloud.
- apiUrl: The base URL meant for SolisCloud API interactions (default:
https://api.soliscloud.com). - refreshInterval: The interval (in minutes) dictating the frequency of data refreshes from SolisCloud.
- allowedKeys: A set array of keys determining the data types to be stored in ioBroker. E.g.,
["batteryPower", "batteryPercent", "psum", "totalLoadPower", "power"].
Once the adapter is activated and transitions to the "ready" phase, it will:
- Retrieve the station list corresponding to the provided API key.
- For every station, it will extract the data specified in
allowedKeys. - The extracted data is then stored under the station ID within ioBroker states.
- Every specified
refreshInterval, step 2 is executed.
A built-in mechanism ensures that if the SolisCloud API introduces rate limitations, the adapter will detect it and retry after a 5-minute interval.
- @iobroker/adapter-core: A utility set aimed at simplifying the ioBroker adapter development process.
- axios: A promise-based HTTP client suitable for browser and node.js operations.
- crypto: A Node.js native module catering to varied cryptographic tasks.
The adapter comes with an inherent error-handling mechanism equipped to tackle API errors, rate limitations, and other unexpected issues. Pertinent error logs will be available within ioBroker.
