I'm trying to use this package to pull solar production data but I could use more guidance on what arguments to supply to WebConnect. What value do I put for Right.USER and how do I define that? And what value do I supply for the IP address? I posted this on StackOverflow too in case anyone would rather answer there: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72018111/what-values-to-pass-for-arguments-to-webconnect-in-the-sma-sunnyboy-package

Ah, is the IP address the one belonging to the SMA unit? I thought this package connected to the SunnyBoy API, rather than directly querying the unit - maybe I misunderstood.

Yes, this package allows to fetch data directly from the SMA unit. If you know your user credential you can access these data directly from you LAN network.

Got it! Good to know. I'd wanted to query data via the API but getting set up with credentials looks to be difficult, so I may take a shot at this instead. Thanks for the reply.
