Proper Enphase API authorization #115

Closed danielschenk closed 4 years ago

danielschenk commented 4 years ago

Currently every Envoy owner which wants to use this app needs to register for an API key themselves.

If instead of every user this app could be registered with Envoy and get its own app ID, the app could have a proper authorization scenario, where an in-app web browser would popup, requiring the user to log in with their own Enphase account (no dev account needed for the user!) and would be able to easily authorize the app. An example of a Homey app which already employs something similar is the Spotify Homey app.

See also this form, where "to develop a mobile app" can be selected as reason to register, which I believe you as the maintainer of this app should do.

I would like that, but I believe that I would still be tied to the plans Enphase offers (https://developer.enphase.com/plans).

A local Enphase integration has been developed and is in beta, making the Enlighten API obsolete in most situations.
