Add SolarEdge Equipment URI

Feature Requests
1

Hi,
I would like to request, adding an extra sensor to the Solaredge Integration, in order to trap issues. Since it is not possible a s system owner to set alert messaging from their portal (and this would). Even the company that installed the system is not able to do so.
The reason for asking this feature: Example: in the past years I missed quit some “income” due the fact that the mainfuse was off (due to unknown causes). I guess that many SolarEdge users will recognize this issue.

The data can be extracted from: https://monitoringapi.solaredge.com/equipment, setting a start- and end time
This part holds information/sensors that will give the option to configure alerting ourselves.

In following datapart you can shows the issue (first fault, second good):

Many thanks in advance.
If I can support in testing, please let me know

How did you obtain the data?

Until the additional sensor is made (if it ever is) you could extract the fault data with a template sensor of some description.

I obtained the data using postman. I was surprised to see that the return data was a lot richer than seen in their API document. While looking at the solaredge code on git, I saw that this information (currently) is not retrieved.

Thx for the suggestion, I’ll try to make this myself using a sensor template and hope this is a small feature request will be added.

Just checked, but it is in their API documentation now:

Page 35: Inverter Technical Data

/equipment/{siteId} /{serialNumber}/data

This actually gives some nice details to be used in Home Assistant! I would love to see the internal inverter temperature, so I could enable some external fans if necessary.
