Hi Dick just for your info, everything is working fine here since the last update the app stays stable. Regards Peter. ---

Hi Niels, the web API may be more stable, but can only be accessed 1000 times per month. So on 10 hours a day, you can get info every 20 minutes. I found that too few times. Also, I couldn’t get the power that is generated on the moment of accessing. Maybe I didn’t try hard enough, but these both things, together with the info from the Home Assistant forum, had me decided to leave the web API and try this. Regards, Dick ---

Thanks for extensive explanation, every 20 minutes sounds indeed really bad. But looking at the Toon integration I see the data refreshing every 5 min so It could be something to look at. Is the code shared in a GitHub repo so maybe we can help? ---

maybe use it as a fall back then in the code? ---

Hi Niels, I see. I was wondering if the Toon plugin still worked, but now I have my answer. I’ve played around a bit with the plugin you provided and got the idea that the website had ‘ceased to be’. The code is indeed on Github [https://github.com/Dickje/Homey-APsystems](https://github.com/Dickje/Homey-APsystems). Any help is appreciated. Regards, Dick ---

Thanks for the effort Dick!! But APS is making everything way too difficult… If I knew it was such a PITA to get it working with any SHS I would’ve made another choice. Anyone got any info /suggestions why APS deleted the local webbased menu? ---

Hi @Dick_J , is it possible to in the when cards, add the option to check when the power has changed? the strange thing is I do see it on your app page: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/f/9f4756b409e7d6769a8881ff48cf6d6be33597d0.jpeg) But don’t see it in the list: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/5/b510b9438d912b5e067e5e29f6a25261c1f7c95e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/4/c484efe74d9c48fc5c651427eeb163e3f2361c3c.png) ---

Hi Patrick, The cards are actually from Homey and come standard with an energy application I believe. I didn’t make them. Recently, Homey changed some of the standards and maybe discarded the one you mentioned. I will look into this and maybe create such a card. Regards, Dick ---

By the way, I do see a very unstable connection. I have made extensive flows checking that the data is being received and if needed reset the app or the router (which was happening a lot as well). Question this is, is the app creating the disconnects, or is the connection/wifi not stable, leading to the issues. Diagnostics done as well: ed613259-1d7b-4a88-9921-37beb039ea50 ---

Saw the update coming in and the new power changed card, thanks! Unfortunately the app is no longer starting: ![1000051198](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/d/cdb70d5d148095fa2a928f71c28febcfcae7dbec.jpeg) ---

Hi Patrick, I’m sorry. That’s weird, on my system it runs well. Looking at your screen shot, I might have made a typo somewhere in the code. Can you send a diagnostics report? I’ll try to find time today to look into it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/2/724742264ccc0e4c3c0c10217a5254f079f2362c.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/3/73c1b70e72f15b29441ef236e6a4bd661976eb07.jpeg) ---

I think that the ECU connection is inherently unstable. The error from your diagnostics is: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/f/cfbacdb3e5b4d3530c7cad6cc5e5d39eb6648a25.png) This is also happening at my ECU. Powercycling the ECU resolves that. I don’t know why this happens. I have asked APS twice to supply info about commands to the ECU, but they didn’t reply. ---

Other strange things happen also. I regularly see a reported generated power above 50MW in the energy tab. Sometimes a connection error, sometimes a timeout error. 🤪 ---

Yup have that too. Alsowent back to the installer for the instability and he opened a complaint at the supplier. Only heard back that everything is oke…. Question is where the instability comes from. Panels to the ECU router, or router to internet. I feel it’s the former, so will also place the router closer to the panels. Diagnostics report d7bc335b-a1e8-412b-a2d7-d47afe877fa8 Other thing is that the APS app itself does provide the correct data. Where is it getting the data from, and why does that still work? ---

Did a full reset, including homey, the app and the ECU. now it is working again. Also sent a diagnostics report and replaced the ECU closer to the panel to hopefully increase the stability of the connection…. fingers crossed Oke, too early, having many disconnects again ---

I had a Odido klik-en-klaar modem next to the ECU and moved it away 10cm. It may have interfered with something in the ECU, it seems that the disconnects decreased. Also, I aplogize for publishing a wrong version.Yes, there is a card to trigger when the power has changed, but I putted in a random number for testing purposes. The displayed power therefor made no sense. Did a quick fix, hoping that I didn’t break anything else 🤞 [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/solar-system-from-apsystems/74759.md?page=8) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/solar-system-from-apsystems/74759.md?page=10)
