Hey there @klaasnicolaas, @frenck, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (forecast_solar) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!
(message by CodeOwnersMention)
I got this exact same issue today. It’s almost like it’s pulling the data in watts/h instead of kWh.
For the time being, I was able to "resolve" the issue by setting the damping factor to 0.001, which effectively appears to move the decimal over 3 spots for the estimated values for today only.
But did the problem come back when you reset the damping to default? Since it is also very well possible that your adjustment only resulted in a new data request being sent.
Yes, I toggled the damping back to 0 and it went back to some huge number, so I put it back at 0.001 for now.
I also deleted the integration entirely and reset it up without luck.
I also went to the actual API url, and can see the data in watts, but I have no idea what it was before.
https://api.forecast.solar/estimate/32.82/117.1/25/119/6380 (long/lat changed so it doesn't dox me)
Today everything seemed fine so I removed the 0.001 dampening and it works again. No idea but I added and removed it multiple times yesterday with the same behavior.
Oh well… 🤷♂️
Then it seems to be an API issue rather than having to do with the integration.
I've had this issue as well and noticed if I take out the api key, it makes it go away.
I also had this couple of times before and also today. Damping workaround fixed it, but is this the way it should be?!? I use this integration with an API key btw.
@zSprawl I see you had a value wrong in your API request, you used a WP value but that must be KWP if you request data directly from the API: https://api.forecast.solar/estimate/32.82/117.1/25/119/6.380
For others having the same problem, could you share a diagnostics report?
Forecast.Solar also has its own Discord server, you could also raise your problem there. IF this problem is really an issue with the API and not with the HA integration (to prevent the server from being flooded with integration issues 😄)
@klaasnicolaas Sure. Here you go. That are the values for Damping = 0 so today is wrong, tomorrow is good again. As I said. Had this behaviour a couple of times before without changing anything.
It was always a "one-day-error", next day it worked again flawlessly.
I am running the linuxserver-homeassistant image on docker.

And with Damping = 0.001 I have pretty much the same values, but these high numbers like 94603717 are just around 70000 (which should be the correct value for today)
As far as I can judge now, this is something that really goes wrong with the API, so it's best to address it in the Discord server.
@klaasnicolaas When I put my data in the url as stated on the forecast.solar website I get the following totals:
watt_hours_day
2022-08-10 70413
2022-08-11 75821
2022-08-12 76787
2022-08-13 76884
This looks correct to me.
Also the values @ watts look good, during the day about 6000 - 7000 watts which is normal for my plant.
watt-hours are increasing until the day value stated above.
What if you try it through this type of URL: https://api.forecast.solar/estimate/:lat/:lon/:dec/:az/:kwp?time=iso8601&damping=0
Looks good to me as well:
watt_hours_day
2022-08-10 69968
2022-08-11 75807
2022-08-12 76787
2022-08-13 76884
And if I do https://api.forecast.solar/estimate/:lat/:lon/:dec/:az/:kwp its the same values ...
@zSprawl I see you had a value wrong in your API request, you used a WP value but that must be KWP if you request data directly from the API: https://api.forecast.solar/estimate/32.82/117.1/25/119/6.380
The API request was merely a test I tried. I didn’t go changing the code in HA…
