Control4 Enphase Envoy/IQ Gateway Solar Driver

Overview

This driver is used to get the solar values from an Enphase Envoy/IQ Gateway unit. It stores the values in variables, so you can do any kind of programming with it. Also the driver provides a simple webview, where you can see the values.

Following values are supported:

• Consumption
• Solar Production
• Grid Power
• Excess Solar
• Total values for the day (Production & Consumption)
• Current Line Voltage
• Enpower Connected
• Grid Status

Envoy/IQ Gateway requirements

An Enphase Envoy S (Metered) or IQ Gateway is required, this will not work with the Standard (Non-metered) Gateways.

Supported Models:

• IQ Gateway
• Envoy S Metered

Configuring the driver

Enter your Enphase Enlighten Username (e-mail) and Password (Required if your Envoy is running firmware version 7 or higher).

NOTE: If you run multiple Envoy gateways, change the Discovery Mode propery to "Manual" and set the Envoy IP to use for this driver instance.
