test version: PVOutput App for Homey | Homey
This is the official new app for PVOutput. It allows you to send your PV data from Homey to the PVOutput cloud. It also allows you to add a PV Output system to your Homey as a Solar Panel device.

I have been using pvoutput for several years for uploading my solar.
I just want to bring this data back into Homey.
Would love to test this app.
You can install it using the app link @ post 1.
PVOutput will install on Homey shortly., and then nothing happend…
Do you maybe have a time limit setup? If so wait till tomorrow when the sun is shining
If it doesnt work by then pls send an app diagnostics report.
The kWh value needs to be sent as Wh, Robin
So I adjust it temporarily like this:
KWh
should be kWh
btw My energy values should be a 1000 times higher as you can see:
While almost all Energy values are stored in kWh format, can you add a ‘times 1000’ calculation to that input field?
Like, 3.41 kWh then gets sent to PVO as 3410 Wh
Oh and I completely missed the max once per minute upload limit.
Maybe it’s nice to also mention the upload limit @ app store and other places?
Thanks!!
Thx 4 the feedback Peter! Will be done in a next test release.
Btw: I created a trigger card that uploads at the right moment and not too often.
Even better! Didn’t notice that yet
So, at first I started with a “When solar power is changed” card and got angry messages
With your time based trigger, I added a “And solar power is above 0” card, to prevent useless nightly updates for my solar only data.
Hi Peter, im new to pvoutput myself and I think I only just found out that all energy readings (kWh) are only for today, and not cumulative. Can you confirm this?
Hi Robin,
It expects daily energy yield values in Watthours.
Here’s my recent figures, fed with daily energy yield values:
This is the setup page, which shows it expects daily yield in Watthours:
Does it make sense, Robin?
Yep, thx for confirming! Ill adapt the app accordingly.
V1.0.1 is ready for testing: PVOutput | Homey
If all is well, this version will be released as stable in the Homey app store.
Thanks Robin, it’s looking good my man, the kWh to Wh calculation works well.
Card descriptions are great now.
New test version 1.0.3 is ready: PVOutput | Homey
Hi Robin,
There is another kWh issue with the app.
I use the app to get my generated amount of energy from pvoutput to feed my Homey.
It multiple the kWh amount with a 1000. So I end up with 16000 kWh for a day instead of 16 kWh. The scale in the diagram is correct, but reported amount is not.
Free energy for all!
I’ll fix that in the next release. Thx for the feedback!
v1.0.4 is ready for testing: PVOutput | Homey
The end of free energy for all
But I can conform, that the numbers are correct now
The PVOutput app has now been released as stable in the Homey app store
Enjoy using it and please give feedback!
