Assistance Needed for Configuring Plugin to Fetch Data #155

Closed Tiimoon closed 1 week ago

Tiimoon commented 2 months ago

Hello,

I’m having trouble configuring the Homebridge Enphase Envoy plugin to correctly fetch and display my data. Despite following the documentation, I am struggling to get the plugin to work as expected.

I am able to retrieve the data using curl from my terminal, and I have the correct token. However, I’m not sure how to translate this into a working configuration for the plugin.

Could someone please provide a sample JSON configuration file that includes all the possible data points and settings that the plugin can handle? This will help me ensure that I have all the necessary information and settings correctly configured.

Thank you for your assistance!

Just use plugin config UI to configure IT.

Thanks, after searching I found where to enter my credentials. I see the data appearing in the HomeBridge logs. However, I am unable to view the real-time production and consumption figures on my Home app. I can only select occupancy sensors, etc. Can we use this plugin to view real-time production and consumption in the Home app? If yes, how?

If I understand correctly, you need to have an installer account to get the information instantly?

I can't understand your documentation. I am receiving the data from my panels, but I don't understand how to display them in Apple Home. I can't figure out what needs to be activated.

If You read readme then You can see what accessories are displayed native in Home app, also in readme You can see to get all data visible from all devices You need to use EVE or Controler app. Home app is very restricted and do not support custom characteristics. To correct config and use all functions of the plugin You need to have installed Config UI X interface.

You can use also MQTT or RESTFul integration to read all data.
