Extract data from Autarco Solar panels

Third party integrations
43

Hi Willem1, can you share your code? How did you get this working?
For me, it seams that I either did not yet get the firmware update yet, or that I have newer firmware in which they repaired it, because for me the fields are not empty. This is what I see:

1802040237060188;F0003B;204;35.1;640;1.000000;19;NO;

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some help to get my energy dashboard working properly. I have everything set up, but I’m not receiving any data in the dashboard. Interestingly, the data from my solar panels is coming through just fine.

I’ve seen that other users have experienced similar issues. I’ve gone through this forum and tried a few suggested solutions, but nothing has worked so far. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

i made a helper, but i can’t select it in my energy dashboard:

        device_class: energy
        state_class: total_increasing

edit:
just got pv_to_date working, but as you can see the data doesn’t add up. What do i have to do to get pv_today also working?

Good news! There will be a core integration of Autarco, in fact this has just been merged. This means that the integration will be in the August release (2024.8) of Home Assistant :partying_face:

Thanks to @Dennis0162 for making it possible to test with the API.

Currently I’m working on the possibility to add battery information from the API to the Home Assistant integration, I could use some help with that because there are a lot of data attributes and the question is sometimes what do they mean and which unit belongs to them.

There is a separate issue that can contribute to:
