Forecast.solar: optional send data in GET requests

Feature Requests
1

actual [Forecast.Solar] explains that ?actual=<float kWh> in a GET request sends the current production to the server. I could easily provide a sensor which has that value.

Would it be possible to extend the integration so that it can be configured with a sensor and then uses the current value of that sensor in each GET?

I’ve browsed the code a bit. It looks like forecast-solar would need to be enhanced first, right?

I know Python but not the HomeAssistant APIs, so implementing this myself would take time.

Is it worth the effort? Any experience?

Adjusting the Python package is indeed the first step :wink:

I am looking at doing the same.

Many Thanks
