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 ![]()
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
Iām glad to announce that the app is live as of today!![]()
Thanks a lot! Is it also possible to create a flow-card to check if all the inverters are online?
TOP thank you ![]()
Yes, that should be possible. In the insights you can already see how many of the total are online.
Iāll put it on the to-do list
Thanks in advance, that would be really fantastic.
In the past, Iāve 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 ![]()
Hi, Iāve 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.
This is great, Iām going to start testing with this right away! Thanks for the quick action.
Iāve 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 āfalseā 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 āfalseā path. However, itās also possible that Iām doing something incorrectly.
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 didnāt 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 āinverters onlineā instead of āofflineā.
Thanks! The new version works perfectly.
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 ālocal 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
HA integration: APsystems - Home Assistant
Python library API (which shouldnāt be of any use for Homey): APsystems EZ1 - Python Library
I donāt know Java/JS, else I might try to help out more here besides giving links. If itās not possible / outside of your scope, thatās 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, Iāve never done anything with JavaScript. But I liked the challenge. Homey will support Python in the future, Iāve read somewhere. But then itās the question of all the libraryās are available. In JavaScript (node.js) itās not.
Thanks for sending the API!
Thank you so much for looking into it! Of course Iāll help testing
Just let me know.
Yeah I might delve into JS as well, but donāt have the capacity at the moment. Some day though, want to be able to use homey Scripts.
If homey should indeed support Python in the forseeable future thatād be even better (for me).

Hi Steve,
I wonder if this already yields results. I think not, itās very rough, but can you try it and send me a diagnostics report?
Hey! Sorry for the late reply. I usually get new answers in threads as mail notification but somehow it doesnāt work in this thread. ![]()
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 itās just the device type thatās missing. ![]()
Thanks again! Iāll try to check in manually every other day or so from now on.
