Using the linke @hpeyerl provided, I’m pulling all my Tigo nodes into HomeAssistant. I do love how many DIY communities come together on stuff like this.
I’m curious if anyone has gotten any nice dashboards configured to show the Tigo data. I’m trying to imagine how I could recreate the Tigo System View page.
Does anyone know if this will work with the paid access to the API? I agree we shouldn’t have to pay, but I was wondering if this opens it up to work without having to “hack” it.
outside of this manual process, is the feeling we will have a solution soon to make this existing integration work? Did it take everyone offline with the new firmware or just those that hadn’t followed these steps yet?
Only people who blocked Tigo Internet access still have access.
Tigo is a very customer hostile company. Everything about these products pisses me off, if I can find some time I’ll look to replace the CCA with something more open.
Unfortunately I didn’t research this as much as I should. I thought Tigo had a native integration into HA or I would have selected something else. Argh.
He’s completely reversed engineered the TAP protocol, and published a tool “taptap” that will deconstruct and log TAP data via the RS485 ports. His documentation of the TAP protocol is exhaustive and complete.
He’s very close to making the CCA device redundant.
His tool is written in rust, and his next-steps are are write to influxdb. That’s not ideal for HomeAssistant.
This feels like someone who knows more than I do could implement a version of his TapTap in Python with an ESP device.
You all might want to take a look at this new integration I found. It looks promising. I never had the one described here, so I can’t compare. It works with and without the paid API. I have it working in my deployment and my next plans are to pipe the data into Grafana.
If anyone went ahead with that 10.11.1.1 IP method of access, here’s a working script which pushes optimizer data by scraping the CCA status page and pushes it via mqtt to home assistant
