Next step in my #solar battery journey is to get API access so I can start drawing graphs like this.
The app/website shows how much electricity our home generates, stores, buys, and uses.
Yesterday, for example, we only paid for electricity when cooking. The rest of the day (and night!) we used self-generated power.
I'll use this to work out how much money the battery saves us.
nostr:npub19lt4284mghqxekzm6n5njxurnxrxhqhrva2leusdsuu5ja5jeycq66qfjk I wish for EU legislation (sorry, I know, too soon with Brexit) that forces companies who run devices on local networks to open up their protocols, so you can still use/own your devices once the company cloud services close. I can’t connect to my EV charger at all other than through their sucky app (https://gist.github.com/tomayac/754284dd79e20147f482d932ed89f2a1), and my solar panel gateway is accessible locally, but gated on a cloud login (https://github.com/tomayac/enphase-solar).
My #solar battery doesn't have an easy API (unless I want to start learning AWS Cognito) - but it is easy enough to automate screenshotting.
Here's how our panels and battery performed on this wet and miserable day.
