The remaining today is retrieved every half hour, so it could be that the weather forecast changed, and you will have more sun then initially predicted
After a reboot the today value will stay the same, it will not update until midnight.
The other values should update, if it is daytime not during night hours
Hi, many thanks for the app, i plan to use it for charging in offpeak hours too. Would it be possible to make available also other values for Status indicator on the tile? Now only Forexast now possible. Many thanks.
Thanks for the app, it works great except that the amount of API calls has been changed at solcast to 10 a day. This means the app stops working after 10 calls. I would suggest to either
Change the intervall to 3h
Send a request at midnigth to get the total and update between 10.00-14.00 (taking timezone in consideration)
Possible to set amount of polls a day and let the app calculate ho w often it should poll
Another good improvement is to keep todays and tomorrows estimated production values if last successful poll is not older than 24h, when the last poll failes. That way it does not empties all the data when a poll fails.
I don’t have much time now, so it can take a while to update.
As I don’t want to spend a lot of time rewriting everything, I will just make a second ‘device’ for the 10 api calls.
It will fetch data:
midnight
sunrise
every 3 hours between sunrise and sunset
I hope this is sufficient.

I will think about it, but I cannot think of an easy solution right now to fix this. I could remove the errors, but that is also not favourable
I mean that on the device tile, you select the desired variable you want to be dispayed on it. For example on the device Spot price in app “Power by the hour” you can displa any value it provides.
you can try the test version, Its a quick try, so could be some bugs hiding in there. Test
In the settings you have to mention how many api calls you have! (And afterwards restart the app)
I changed the capabilities, so you can use the device tile. (It was there before, but some people didn’t like it that it shows up in the energy dashboard, I think it doesn’t now)
About the decimals, I am happy with 2 decimals, and I honestly don’t now how to make it changeable.
If you give me easy code, I can implement it. But I am not planning to spend a lot of time on decimals
Here you find the API - Solcast API Toolkit
And the resource ID you find in the URL → api.solcast.com.au/rooftop_sites/RESOURCE_ID ← you will see here - Solcast API Toolkit
That’s all you need.
