But then you have like 12 pols in 1 hour. So around 100 a day. Then you get more the 1000 per month. Is that ok then? Does it keep working after 10 days? ---

The default polling is 5 Min so that would be okay šŸ‘ ---

yes is oke. less minutes wont work (tried that). not from maxing out, but there is no more information in the system, than that once per 5 min ---

Yes, that should be possible. In the insights you can already see how many of the total are online. Iā€™ll put it on the to-do list ---

Thanks in advance, that would be really fantastic. In the past, Iā€™ve had some issues with my APS solar panels where a number of inverters would suddenly shut down. I only noticed this after a few days. At the time, I created a flow in Home Assistant that automatically sends a notification as soon as an inverter drops offline during the day. It would be great if this could also be done through Homey. ---

Thanks for the clarification. Yesterday I implemented a trigger, that fires when all the inverters are online. But seeing your last message, you rather need a condition than a trigger. Or maybe both šŸ˜„ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/1/b16efe1ac8a3d7d22f30e35833c081a0ec5d8a4b.png) ---

Hi, Iā€™ve updated the app with a condition card, where you can give an input how many inverters need to be offline, to trigger. Also a condition for the polling being active. This way you can monitor your inverters. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/8/d8a1d2a3f556b5c5face220a4ef05be453e556f9.png) ---

This is great, Iā€™m going to start testing with this right away! Thanks for the quick action. ---

Iā€™ve done some testing in the meantime and may have run into an issue with the flow card. I rebuilt the flow one-to-one, and even though all inverters are online, the flow still seems to follow the ā€œfalseā€ path. I also tried adjusting the value for the number of inverters online (to 5), but regardless of the value entered, the flow appears to continue down the ā€œfalseā€ path. However, itā€™s also possible that Iā€™m doing something incorrectly. ![status](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/1/81d439facb95ce7494222db9d1e963bf3070c628.png) ![Test-flow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/b/fb76727788071671573697e82c7e5c3fa1fcd433.png) ---

Hmmm, the flow seems okay. I have switched off my flow, so I have no results of today. I know though, that not all the inverters report online all the time. Nevertheless, I will look into this, probably this weekend. Note: the input for the flow is the amount of inverters offline, not online. So you can set your own threshold. ---

I found a mistake I made. My testversion worked fine, but then I decided to rename a variable for clarity. But I didnā€™t change it everywhere. Today I made some changes again and these are the results for now: I will test some more and then release a new version. I renamed the flowcard to ā€˜inverters onlineā€™ instead of ā€˜offlineā€™. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/d/add81b33fa2f6738d327a2faa1e85971b6b77a2f.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/4/e4694fd2022e0e02c9aa2b2d6ae3c5ee538a8cbf.png) ---

Hey, is it possible to add support for the EZ1 micro converters (M and D)? @Dick_J It has a different API it seems. The so-called ā€œlocal APIā€. I managed to access it via Python but want to include it into Homey, naturally. Here the API spec: [https://file.apsystemsema.com:8083/apsystems/apeasypower/resource/APsystems%20EZ1%20Local%20API%20User%20Manual.pdf](https://file.apsystemsema.com:8083/apsystems/apeasypower/resource/APsystems%20EZ1%20Local%20API%20User%20Manual.pdf) HA integration: [APsystems - Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/apsystems/) Python library API (which shouldnā€™t be of any use for Homey): [APsystems EZ1 - Python Library](https://sonnenladengmbh.github.io/APsystems-EZ1-API/) I donā€™t know Java/JS, else I might try to help out more here besides giving links. If itā€™s not possible / outside of your scope, thatā€™s understandable. Thanks anyway for considering it! ---

Ah, I will surely look into that. Though testing has to be done by you and other EZ1 users. Until about a year ago, Iā€™ve never done anything with JavaScript. But I liked the challenge. Homey will support Python in the future, Iā€™ve read somewhere. But then itā€™s the question of all the libraryā€™s are available. In JavaScript (node.js) itā€™s not. Thanks for sending the API! ---

Thank you so much for looking into it! Of course Iā€™ll help testing šŸ™‚ Just let me know. Yeah I might delve into JS as well, but donā€™t have the capacity at the moment. Some day though, want to be able to use homey Scripts. šŸ˜‰ If homey should indeed support Python in the forseeable future thatā€™d be even better (for me). šŸ˜† ). ---

Hi Steve, I wonder if this already yields results. I think not, itā€™s very rough, but can you try it and send me a diagnostics report? [First rough test version for EZ1](https://homey.app/a/nl.dj.aps/test/) ---

Hey! Sorry for the late reply. I usually get new answers in threads as mail notification but somehow it doesnā€™t work in this thread. ā˜¹ I tried it with both inverters (I have 2 of them) and it cannot connected. Might be because I could only choose solar panels (web API) and ECU as devices? My guess is that itā€™s just the device type thatā€™s missing. šŸ™‚ Thanks again! Iā€™ll try to check in manually every other day or so from now on.
