I have an APsystems EZ1-M inverter, which has WLAN and Bluetooth on board. I would like to transfer the data from the system to Home Assistant. As far as I have seen, no ECU is compatible with the inverter. Does anyone here have any ideas?
I am interested in this inverter as well but I am still doing some research on how to integrate this in Home Assistant. I have already contacted APSystems but have no reply yet. Is there not something like an api available or web interface (since it has Wifi)?
Not really related to this thread, but can you also tell me where you have bought this inverter?
I also plan to buy a “balcony power plant” (Balkonkraftwerk) with this inverter. It would be great if there was an integration option for Home Assistant.
There is a comment from the German Youtuber “TipsTricksMore” on his video about the EZ1-M. Supposedly he is in contact with APSystems and the API is supposed to come in October. But unfortunately I couldn’t find anything from the official side yet.
I’ve been looking for it all the time, but so far I haven’t been able to find any official information about a public API or its development.
In the meantime, I simply connected a smart plug with ESPHome to the microinverter. I think even if an API comes along at some point, it won’t initially offer any more information than the smart plug. In addition, it does not rely on a cloud connection
I don’t think there is necessarily direct communication between the inverter and the app.
For example, I deactivated Bluetooth on our inverter after initial setup and can access its performance data via the app while on the go.
So the inverter sends “home” directly
You could also simply decompile the Android app and see which network addresses are used in the source code.
