Setup

4 Inverter in operation with older versions of AhoyDTU sucessfully

Debug Serial Log output

No response

Error description

The release notes of 0.8.83 mention: "added API-Token authentification for external scripts"

1. It seems to be not possible to deactivate authentication for the REST-API Trying to change the power limits of an inverter with the curl sentence: curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST --data '{"id": 0, "cmd": "limit_nonpersistent_absolute", "val": 1500}' http://192.168.2.12/api/ctrl results to the curl answer: {"success":false,"error":"ERR_PROTECTED"}
2. There seem to be no documentation regarding acessing the REST-API by curl

@c-graeser

please try: curl --header "Content-Type:application/json" --request POST --data '{"auth": "your_password", "cmd": "limit_nonpersistent_absolute", "id": 0, "val": 1500}' "http://192.168.2.12/api/ctrl"

to point 2.: sorry about that, it's posted within the issues, but as it is a private, non funded project, there's not a lot of manpower left, between job, kids, friends and github.

i agree with you, it would have been better to add usage examples to the release notes of v0.8.83, retrospectively seen.

Hello Metachuh,

thank you very, very much for your quick response!

Your solution worked perfectly.

Spending a sunny afternoon in front of my computer trying to reverse engineer the authentication lead me to the need to contact you.

I am sure a bit more documentation will take load away from you. You then don’t have to anwer silly questions like mine 😉

Best regards

Christian

@c-graeser

i'm glad that it works 👍 ps: no silly question at all. this is the base of re-documenting later, and helps others for now, if they search for ERR_PROTECTED, auth, authentification or similar.

if you're satisfied, please leave a thumbs up and close this issue.
