how to handle mutiple strings

[kreutpet]

first of all many thanks for providing your binding. i actually have some js-script which do the job but would prefer to handle it by a binding i do have 2 roofs with different azimute and peak power. according to the description this would require to define an additional site.

the binding would support to create multiple sites but it would not allow to accumulate the data for the multiple sites reflecting actually a single site. It would be interesting to discuss how to us the binding but still get the summed forecast of my roofs at one site.

thx peter

Ok, I think I see the problem here. The Solcast site definition is not identical to sc-site from the binding. The word site for Solcast and Forecast.Solar is referring to one location, e.g. your home location.

Create one Bridge sc-site with your Solcast API Key Create multiple Planes sc-plane each attached to the previous defined Bridge using the Solcast ResourceId.

Values are now reported for each sc-plane and the sc-site Bridge sums all up.

Many thanks. I separated the up the roof tops into different sc-planes. I assume that the 50 free API call are now accumulates by both sc-planes. I will set the refresh rate to 60 minutes , that should be ok for the 50 free call in the next days i will verify if all data are coming

Right, one sc-site, 2 sc-planes.

Sadly you need 2 calls per plane

• one for "now and past"
• one for "forecast"

So you'll end up with refreshinterval of 120 minutes, see here in readme: https://github.com/weymann/OH3-SolarForecast-Drops#solcast-plane-configuration
