V 2.0.2 #15

Closed Phil-VK6PH closed 10 months ago

Phil-VK6PH commented 10 months ago

Thank you very much for your Alphaess code. I've been using v1.8.5 for a while but just recently this no longer works. I think due to changes Alpha ESS have made.

So I have updated to v2.0.2 but I can't get this to work. When I configure the node then all I see is Name Alpha ESS Monitoring App ID Secret

I've obtained these settings from Alpha ESS and the code starts but I then get an error message "There was an error communicating with Alpha Services: The request timestamp is not within the validity period (6009)"

I've also tried using an input so I can send a request but I then get an error message "For being able to use input, you must switch over to manual mode."

I don't know how to switch to manual mode.

Could you please advise how to make v2.0.2 work.

Thank you.

Strange behaviour. I would like you to triple-check your timezone and date time settings. The error reported is obvious. Until these information are matching you wouldn’t get manual mode running at all. You might take a look to your host system and/or node-red instance configuration.

Thank you for your reply. If I use Timestamp to send the current time then I get: 2024-01-22T05:56:55.184Z

Which is UTC time so 8 hours behind my current time. So do I need to change my time zone and if so how do I do this please?

Okay. This sounds okay. Did you register your system serial in open API portal correctly? Please triple-check it. And further take a look to https://github.com/alphaess-developer/alphacloud_open_api/issues (open and closed issues, primarily last ones). There are related errors with that message. This message isn‘t always leading to the root cause.

In /issues closed I found this timestamp error. The user found that whitelist had been enabled on his account and he didn't know how. I'm not sure where to find this?

dehsgr commented 10 months ago

You‘ve to check that in open API portal at https://open.alphaess.com.

Phil-VK6PH commented 10 months ago

My whitelist is not enabled.

Phil-VK6PH commented 10 months ago

I think there is an error in my open.alphaess.com account. I'll contact Alpha ESS and get them to fix this for me.
Thanks for your assistance.

Ok. Thank you for that information.
