EvMeter API endpoints #101

Closed thucar closed 1 year ago

thucar commented 1 year ago

Running version 1.5.1 and trying to use all API meters. I am able to POST Grid details without a problem but I can not see how to POST EV meter and Solar meter data. Are these just placeholders for now?

The API defintion is right here: https://swagger-ui.serkri.be/#/

Yes and that is what I have been using. However I only see an option to send Mains meter values (L1, L2, L3) but I do not see any option to send EV meter and Solar Meter values to the controller.

Unless I am missing something obvious here...

  1. There is no such thing in the SmartEVSE design as a solar meter, there is only MainsMeter and EVMeter.
  2. The values of EVMeter are taken off of the modbus, you cannot feed them with the API . Only the MainsMeter values you can feed through the API, and this is because users with a home battery want to prevent the home battery charging the EV battery and/or vice versa.

Since the API goes through wifi (http) it is not a preferred way to set critical values.

Ok, gotcha. So the option to select API as meter type for EV Meter is not intentional. I propose to remove that at some point to avoid similar confusion in the future

Yup can't test anything right now so let's leave this issue open as a reminder for me.

dingo35 commented 1 year ago

@thucar can you test this version for me? It is the current master version (1.5.2 + some small changes), added to it the change to skip the EM_API option at the EVMeter: 1.5.2+-em_api.zip
