Solarman doesn't report production anymore

Open mhoogenbosch opened this issue 3 years ago • 19 comments

Recently Solorman have disabled their old site.

New site: https://home.solarmanpv.com/

Let me know how I can help.

If they have a public API or if SolarMAN inverters can be read out locally, I will happily implement it. I do not have one myself however, so I will need help and documentation of SolarMAN owners.

From what I found: There is a https://api.solarmanpv.com/, don't know if you are already using this. But there is also a OpenAPI description. See doc: SolarmanOpenAPI.pdf

I found it on this site https://forum.pvoutput.org/t/solarman-has-an-api-sofar-solar/4092/17, I can't interpete if this is old or new, seems relatively new.

Obviously I'm willing to help, don;t know to what extent I'm able to since I don't have any coding skills.

Same issue here @DiedB if you can make an update I can install it in developer mode and test it for you. I think you should be able to implement it with the document @mhoogenbosch provided. Please let me know when you have time to fix it. We did it before ;-)

Same for me, no issues with CLI installation either. Just let me know.

@mhoogenbosch Could you provide me with an app key and app secret, as described in the OpenAPI document? Just message me in private through [email protected]

@DiedB I think you have to apply for that

I just e-mailed [email protected], let's see what they can do to help. It frightens me when they tell us to contact the 'sales' department in order to get the developer account.

Right.. the mail just got bounced.... ... I'll try and submit through the contact form.. got my info from: https://solarmanpv.eu/contact-us/

I already send a request 9 days ago when I posted my first issue on this ;-) Still no answer

Rond 15 oktober zag ik op de Solarman portal dat ik 2 sites had: 1 met ID NLDN20xxxxxxxx30 en NLDN20xxxxxxxx33. Per 15-10 (definitieve afsluiting data Omnik) was de 30 leeg en staat de data bij 33. Ik kan alleen geen nieuwe app meer toevoegen in Homey met de nieuwe ID omdat er na x tijd een timeout plaatsvind. Site is up en ontvangt gewoon data van mijn Omnik inverter. Ideeën?

@chrisboer @mhoogenbosch @DiedB , I got my app_id and app_secret sending an email to [email protected] .

They will ask some questions about your identity, if you are a business, distributor, installer, individual... Why you will need the open api, if you have website...

I've just emailed them.. They haven't responded to my request per web. Thans for letting us know!

mhoogenbosch avatar Dec 01 '21 11:12 mhoogenbosch

@LeoKesler Thanks for your info, we (me and @mhoogenbosch) were also on this road but apparently they did not look into web requests.

chrisboer avatar Dec 01 '21 14:12 chrisboer

I just got my API id and KEY and @DiedB I will send them to you so you can test with them will also send my credetials.

chrisboer avatar Dec 02 '21 09:12 chrisboer

They just have responded to my email too. They couldn't find my creds, so I supplied them with it.. so any moment now I can give access too.

mhoogenbosch avatar Dec 02 '21 10:12 mhoogenbosch

My api key just got supplied. @DiedB what do you need from me to continue?

They also supplied an updated PDF file. See attachment.

SolarmanOpenAPI(v1.1.6)-EN.pdf

Together with the PDF they also supplied SOLARMAN3.0 OPEN API Collection-DEMO.postman_collection.json Would this be of any help to you?

mhoogenbosch avatar Dec 03 '21 09:12 mhoogenbosch

@DiedB do you need something additional for me or can we help with testing ?

chrisboer avatar Dec 20 '21 15:12 chrisboer

I don't have any leftover time for the foreseeable future - other things unfortunately take priority. Will let you know when I find the time to work on this.

Thanks for your response.. if there is anything we / I can do to help, more than willing to do so. Hopefully you'll sort things so you can find some time. If not, to bad for us.

mhoogenbosch avatar Dec 21 '21 17:12 mhoogenbosch

@DiedB any time available for Solarman integration ?
