Hi everyone.
I’m new to the forum and followed the guide
I sent an email to “[email protected]” to request API access and they replied like this:
Sorry, due to the API business adjustment, temporarily does not support opening.
Your understanding and patience is greatly appreciated."
Has this happened to anyone before? I have an afore af6k-sl inverter and I can’t add it to homeassistant
I asked for API-ID and I got unfortunately exactly the same answer as u posted…

Hi,
Has anyone managed to remotely control an inverter using API? As far as I can see in the documentation there is remote control, but there is no list of commands…
Hi I have the same problem with second inverter config, did you manage it on on config.json file?
Good day, the first code is clear, but how to apply the second one is not clear! Can you provide more detailed information?
I received this response from Solarman when asked for API access. Is this the expected response? Will will be crossing that 2 Lakhs API call volume by chance?

Thank you very much @Gav_in . I was unable to move further as I was following the old API link. Now I understood the reason 
Hi,
I know this was long time ago but it looks like your steps are immortal I am trying to integrate solarman and currently I am on step 4. Do you remember what is deviceSN and how I can get it?
it’s the actual serial number of your inverter as far as I remember…been a while since I set this up but fairly sure that’s it.
have you ever succeeded? I have a KSTAR KSG 5K and I can’t get it to work with Solarman.
Hello everyone,
I’m staring with HA and Solarman Integration, please, do you have any material to install step by step?
Because I don’t understand, where I should create sensor, mqq, doker etc, I did only Hacs integration :D, maybe you have, one step by step, where you said first, config mqq blablabl second create file sensor.yaml in the paste xxx etc
Thanks for atention.
In my experience the following integration is best: GitHub - davidrapan/ha-solarman: ⚡ Solarman Stick Logger integration for 🏠 Home Assistant
I can’t config.
this integration doesn’t connect with my micro_inversor
Welcome to the Forums…
You’ve not giving any info on what Inverter you have, what Integration (which version, fork, etc) you are trying to use, etc, etc so it’s kinda difficult to assist you.
Also you are posting in a thread about a specific topic that probably isn’t relative to your query so that’s not helping either.
Read here to get you started with how to go about looking for help on the forum and then would suggest opening a new Topic with your specific queries and go from there…
as a PS…the Integration Martijn mentions above your previous post is a good place as any to start with integrating your Inverter with HA
Hello, community!
I’m working on an integration in Home Assistant using the Solarman API, and I came across the documentation for the Device Historical Data feature:
API Documentation - Historical Data
Has anyone here used this part of the API? I’m particularly interested in understanding:
If anyone has integrated this feature into Home Assistant or has experience with it, I’d love to hear your insights. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I haven’t gotten into it yet, but I’m looking for help to find the easiest way to do it! It’s doable ! but I don’t know how yet.
Help guys !
Short version: there are two deviceSn ! one for the logger, one for the inverter. If you only see no power production information, just change the deviceSn to that of the invertor and the power stats will show up.
Longer version: Just experienced the same that @raycingray experienced - all the CURL things worked (thanks to everyone on this thread!) but the currentData request only came back with basic device information with nothing on electrical production details.
Looked at the app on my phone to confirm data was clearly being populated and updated live to Solarman server. Then played with the app a bit - under the “Device” tab of the app I suddenly realised there are 2x S/N displayed in “Device Management” one for the Logger one for the Inverter. Tap on the “Inverter” (slightly grey box) brings up all the power production stats including current power output. Lightbulb moment: power consumption is associated with the Inverter not the Logger (makes sense). Change the deviceSn to that of the Inverter and it all works.
Now to try the MQTT scripts to get all these stats into HA.
Isn’t it just easier to use solarman locally?
Hey all, thanks everyone in this thread for their posts, it is through this thread that I finally got my curl commands going. They now worked brilliantly using my Raspberry Pi with the APP_ID and APP_SECRET provided by the Solarmanpv. I have now managed to retrieve the historical data too. As my contribution, I post here an example of retrieving my Sofar ESI-5K-S1 hybrid inverter detailed data for 2nd March 2025, Perth Australian time.
curl --request POST --url "${API_HOST}/device/v1.0/historical?appId=${APP_ID}&language=en" --header "Authorization: Bearer $token" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"deviceSn": "'"$DEVICE_SN"'","timeType": 5,"startTime": "1740844800","endTime": "1740931140"}'
For "timeType=5, the timestamp needs to be converted to 10-digit second-level UNIX timestamp UTC. You can use this Epoch Converter ( Epoch Converter - Unix Timestamp Converter) to convert your local time to the 10-digit second-level UNIX timestamp UTC. Use the third option, remember to strip off the ‘GMT’ to make it your local time at the input.
If all works well, this curl command will output a massive file containing all the data of the day sampled roughly every 5 minutes. It has 280 to 300 samples, and each sample has over 300 data points. It is a massive json file.
My next task is to extract the relevant ones for my further data analysis. When I have figured that out, I will post here and hopefully can help someone in this community.
