Get local Enphase data from individual solar panels in domoticz

Post by waaren »

Yet another way of accessing the Enphase data. Make sure you read the comment lines and enter your settings..

As always please feel free to comment, ask for clarification, report bugs etc.. by replying here on the forum.

Have Fun !

Code: Select all

--[[

    This dzVents script is one approach to collect data from your local Enphase system

    It is inspired by the various postings on the domoticz forum about getting details
    from your own solar panels.

    The script uses the installer login for which an Android password generator tool
    is available. Full process description about the development of this tool can be found at

    https://thecomputerperson.wordpress.com/2016/08/28/reverse-engineering-the-enphase-installer-toolkit/

    the Android tool described can be downloaded from
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/xc40op8eqfrykaa/AndroidXam.AndroidXam.Signed2019.apk?dl=0

    The script uses wget calls and interprets the JSON returns.
    for Windows you can get a wget executable via https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/

    If the createDevices switch is set to true. The script will create ALL the individual devices 
    if they do not exist on the system yet. (1 total and 1 per panel (so if you own 20 panels it creates 21 devices)

    Before activating the script:
    Please read the GETTING STARTED section of the dzVents wiki.
        For windows users download and install the wget utility
        Define a dummy hardware in domoticz if not already done
        Enter your settings at the appropriate place
        Have fun !!

    Please use the domoticz forum fore reporting bugs, asking questions for clarification, tips for improvement, etc..

Re: Get local Enphase data from individual solar panels in domoticz

Post by FireWizard »

Hello waaren,

First of all, it is a good initiative, as I would like to see, that the data from individual solar panels, connected to Enphase, but also others, will be available in Domoticz.
I made already a suggestion in: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=29170&p=223951#p223951

Your dZVents script aims at the same goal.

I have seen several scripts, as well, that try to poll the individual inverters using this URL: http://<IP Address>/api/v1/production/inverters.
Like you, they all use the backdoor, with the installer username/password. I have no idea how to get the installer password, while I registered myself as an installer. The Android app works, I can confirm, but requires that users copy the apk file and enable the developer options.
Quite a complex way.

Going through the front door is, in my opinion, easier. It requires also a username/password.
Like the installer username, this username is also fixed, envoy. It is not necessary to configure the password as you can easily asked for it by polling e.g. http://<IP Address>/info.xml. You will find after "sn".

The only challenge, you get is that this URL doesn't use basic authentication, but digest authentication.
For wget I found something here: https://www.computerhope.com/unix/wget.htm.
Digest Authentication has already been done in Domoticz. Curl supports it, as well.

If you are able to get this authentication issue solved, access is much easier, than installing an app on your phone.

There exist very little documentation on the API of Enphase. In fact only 1, hard to find, sheet, describing http://<IP Address>/api/v1/production.

I'm not sure it is legally allowed, but I attach that sheet.

Envoy-API-Technical-Brief-small.pdf
(73.37 KiB) Downloaded 754 times

You mentioned in your script, that the update frequency is once/15 minutes.
As you will see in the provided document, Enphase mentions 1 update/5 minutes.
I did some tests and I even found that there was not a consequent pattern of updates and I saw even 2 updates in the same minute.

Therefore, I use the same update frequency as the Domoticz "hardware" does, 30 seconds.
That works fine for me.

Another thing to know is that the Domoticz "hardware" URL uses: http://<IP Address>/production.json.

This URL updates in a different pattern, then http://<IP Address>/api/v1/production.
There can exist small differences between the two URL's, which will give more or less the same information, but the last URL is always accurate, if it comes to the accumulation of the individual inverter values.

Another URL you might be interested in, is: http://<IP Address>/inventory.json.

I hope that this info has some value for you and keep up your good work,

Regards

@Firewizard,
thanks for your detailed reaction and the provided documents. I will study them and if usable for my situation I will certainly try to improve the script or switch to another method of getting the information I am interested in.

I can follow most of your remarks but not all. Maybe my solarpanel installation is slightly different from the ones you worked with. I tried the method to get a password as described in your reaction but it did not work. That's why I use the username installer for which I do have a working method to get into my own system.

The use of this app is a once of action and it took me less then 5 minutes including the download of the APK to install, use and get a working code.
You mentioned in your script, that the update frequency is once/15 minutes.
I also tried different frequencies but could not get new data. Maybe an older version firmware (my installation is > 4 years old now) or maybe a setting I have not discovered yet.

As said, I will continue with reading the available documentation to see if better ways of getting the useful solarpanel information in my domoticz. My personal preference is to have this as domoticz "hardware" but until now I had no luck with that. Second best in my book is to use one dzVents script.

What I like most here is that domoticz allow us to try different routes so there is something to choose.

Re: Get local Enphase data from individual solar panels in domoticz

Hello waaren,

Looks nice
Pretty low values today, I recognize that as well :cry:

For your information:

My system is quite new, about 4-5 month. Even the Envoy-S is black, while in all documents it is said, that the Envoy-S is grey and the metered is black.
My software version is: D5.0.34 (6e87e2).
My Software Build Date: 26 Jun, 2019 9:36 AM

I did a test and found that both the username/password set as envoy/6 last digits of serial number, as well as installer/password generated by app works.
However both require "digest authentication". I could not log in with "basic authentication".
I log directly into http://<IP Address>/api/v1/production/inverters.

You said
The use of this app is a once of action and it took me less then 5 minutes including the download of the APK to install, use and get a working code.
I agree, as long as you have the knowledge is OK. You and I are probably using applications, as Domoticz, Android apps, etc on a daily base, but for the majority of Android users it is not common to install apps from a downloaded apk file, or even F-Droid.
That is what I mean, so if we can make it easier for a bigger group of users, it is better.
My personal preference is to have this as domoticz "hardware" but until now I had no luck with that.
Yes , yes, yes and that's why I started the suggestion: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 31&t=29170

Hello Waaren,

Thanx for the script!!

This was my first 'custom' script I imported in Domoticz as an real newby to the software.
Als I had a problem with the standard feature for the Enphase panels and I do like the feature of having them all displayed like in your script.

It took a few hours to find out how to make the script work, copy it in the right folder dit not work, copy/paste it into the script editor dit work, so now it is in the database. But unfortunely the script does not worked on my side, I dit get the installer password and tried it to logon the system manually and that works fine, now I can add solarpanels all by myself ;)
I dit found out the script only work on solar production hours, so that's why I don't get results right now (21:53 pm) and both scripts seems to work. ( I tried the first script yesterday evening during the dark hours :roll:

For now I'n new to .lue scripting so I have to ask what the error means.
Can you help me out on this first quest?

I hope you can help me out.
Thanx, Chris

The error shown probably means that wget is not installed on your windows system or that it's not in path of the domoticz user.

I modified the script in the first post to allow to enter the wget executable location. If you do not have installed the wget utility yet then first go to https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/ and install the utility at a location that can be executed by the domoticz user and use the latest version of the script.

The error shown probably means that wget is not installed on your windows system or that it's not in path of the domoticz user.

I modified the script in the first post to allow to enter the wget executable location. If you do not have installed the wget utility yet then first go to https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/ and install the utility at a location that can be executed by the domoticz user and use the latest version of the script. ( 0.201910122300 )
Thanx Waaren,

I guess you forgot a comment tag in your script..

I'll changed the script, set a comment tag on the red line below and installed wget.exe and wait for the results in the morning, no errors in the log right now...

Greetz!!

Moving from a Raspberry pi with Domoticz running on the bare metal to a NUC intel i5 running a docker setup under CentOS gave me quite a few challenges. After having bested most of them, today I realize that my solar installation is not updating.
Having done all in the late hours, (when the schript is not running) I did not spot the errors in the log at that moment.

Code: Select all

2022-01-02 11:30:00.121 Error: dzVents: Error: (3.1.8) Enphase_0.201910122300: ReturnCode: 127

Turns out, the official Domoticz docker distribution does not include wget.
Curl is available though, so herewith my alteration that makes it work again:

line 64

Code: Select all

        wgetExecutable = '/usr/bin/curl'                 -- linux

line 130

Code: Select all

        local function getEnphaseData(api)
            local baseCommand = wgetExecutable .. ' --digest -u ' .. Enphase.user .. ':' .. Enphase.password ..' -o - http://'
            local cmd = baseCommand .. Enphase.ip .. api
            return osCommand(cmd)
        end

By the way; Waaren - massive thanks for this script!! :-)

I've been trying to get this script to work, but apparently I'm doing something wrong. Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to run a dzVents script, because that seems to be the issue? I can edit the script just fine, add panels and change login creds for the Envoy, but the script just does not run.

Are you running Domoticz from Docker?
if so, you have to manually add some directories to make DZvents work at all.
cd /opt/domoticz (this is where I have my docker-compose.yml file)
sudo mkdir config
cd config/
sudo mkdir scripts
sudo mkdir scripts/lua
sudo mkdir scripts/dzVents
sudo mkdir scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts
sudo mkdir scripts/dzVents/data

after that, in my case DZvents started working.

This is about an older domoticz version. Either way, I still did not get dzVents to run, no matter what I tried. Even checked file permission issues, which made no difference. I'm back to the other, the Node red option.

Anyone who can help me out.

If I run"http://IP_DOMOTICZ:8080/json.htm?type=createdevice&idx=23&sensorname=Enphase+production&sensormappedtype=0xF31D"

Idea could be to create the swicthes manualy, but waht type do I have to create?

sensormappedtype=0xF31D??

For using Dzvents in Domoticz you have to set the Local Network connection (no username/password) setting correctly
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/DzVents:_ ... h_Domoticz
Also make sure that in the Security section in the settings (Setup > Settings > System > Local Networks (no username/password) you allow 127.0.0.1 (and / or ::1 when using IPv6 ) to not need a password. dzVents does use this port to get the location settings and to send certain commands to Domoticz.

I'm missing the information about what type of dummy hardware needs to be created?

When creating a new dzVents script, what type of script to create? (i assume All(recommended))

Image

After i created a dummy sensor and filled in that IDx in the script it looks it started to work, the devices are created.

Image

The only problem is that it is not reporting any production, and every "set frequency / 15min" there are created new devices again....this is clearly not right! What did i do wrong? There is a connection from the script to the envoy, otherwise it could not got the micro inverter serials...

Only create a dummy hardware device not sensors.
Create just a normal dzvents scripts and make sure that settings are like below (offcourse use your own addresses)

local Enphase = {
ip = 'ip_address',
password = 'password',
dummyHardwareIDX = idx_number,
useProduction = true,
productionDeviceName = 'Enphase production',
useInverters = true,
inverterDevicePrefix = 'micro inverter: ',
createDevices = true,

Also make sure Domoticz is allowed creating new sensors (in the Settings page).

ah my mistake.

I did not know that the dummy hardware was having an own idx.

Working now! Is there any way to get a single graph with all the lines from all micro inverters in it?

Yes and no.

Good evening everyone! Best wishes for this New Year!!!! :)

I want to monitor my Enphase meter
I put the script available on the 1st page (thanks to the author!!) in the events
I created a Dummy and the idx 16 was assigned by Dz.
in the settings, there is the authorization to create new sensors.

Code: Select all

-- ==============================
        -- Your setting here
        -- ==============================
        -- Change to reflect location of your wget and remove -- ( comment ) in front of the declaration for your OS  
        -- wgetExecutable = '/usr/bin/wget'                 -- Linux
        -- wgetExecutable = 'c:\\"Program files"\\wget.exe' -- Windows: double back slashes where one is in the path

                local Enphase =    {
                                ip = '192.168.1.195',         -- IP address of your local enphase hub
                                password = 'ac6k4732',            -- Change to your calculated password. See description above on how to get this.

                                dummyHardwareIDX = 16,               -- Change to ID of your virtual hardware
                                useProduction = true,
                                productionDeviceName = 'l***l',
                                useInverters = true,
                                inverterDevicePrefix = 'micro inverter: ',  -- script use this prefix + serial number of inverter.
                                createDevices = true,              -- Should the script create devices if they are not defined yet.

                                -- please note that the counter display will only show a rough estimate
                                -- of the produced energy over the period the device lives in domoticz and the script is active.

        -- =========================================
        -- == No changes required below this line ==
        -- ==========================================
                                user = 'installer',                                     -- I think this is a fixed username
                                inverterDeviceType = 'Electric (instant+Counter)',      -- script use this type for inverters
                                productionDeviceType = 'Electric (instant+Counter)',    -- script use this type for total production
                                productionAPI = '/api/v1/production',
                                invertersAPI = '/api/v1/production/inverters',

                            }
I filled in my personal info except "micro inverter". I did not understand what I should put?
Do I have to put the serial number of the Micro inverter and therefore create as many scripts as there are micro inverters?
Can you help me?
Thank you :mrgreen:
