Hello Everybody,
It would be nice if via the Forecast.solar integration we could somehow (maybe as attributes of existing sensors?) have access to the granular data made available through the API calls, Public subscription at least (as its features are in common to any subscription plans), that would cover the forecast datapoints for:
- watts
- watt_hour
- watt_hour_period
- watt_hour_day
These are available through the API call but not via the integration (which is great as fully integrated with the Energy dashboard).
Making these datapoints available would make a big difference as in this way you are able to optimize the workflows and rely on a single process/access point to get the data and any other service can rely on what is retrieved via the integration, with no need to duplicate requests and use resources.
Below an example of what you get via the API call, Public plan.
Thank you!
