I am in the process of switching from Smartthings to Hubitat. I used the Local Envoy code under smartthings so I am familiar with how it worked. I need to enter the IP address of the envoy and other bits of info about my array. When I add the user app solar Graphs there is a "Envoy Device?*" "Click to set" however there is no way to actually enter anything. It looks like a small text box tries to appear with an "Update" button however you cant actually enter anything from the keyboard.
Hi! New Hubitat user this week, so apologies for any noob questions.
Got this up and running with my envoy - no problems.
How are people embedding this graph into dashboards as a tile or similar? It looks perfectly rendered for a mobile device, but wasnt sure if there was an easy way to make it an element in a bigger dashboard. Thanks!
Just getting into home automation and have Enphase 15KW array on my roof. DEFINITELY want to get this info into Hubitat instead of opening web pages to monitor and also wondering at the possibilities to use the information.
One (rather unique perhaps) thing I'm looking at is that my solar system overproduces when we don't run our pool heat pump. FPL does not allow us to have more than 15% overage or they can require us to remove panels (stupid, but that's Florida). So given we have sometimes 30KWH extra production or more on a sunny day when we are not running our heat pump I am starting to mine cryptocurrency with the extra "free" electricity to make sure I use it all. However if we have low production and high usage for the month then I'd ideally like a smart plug that I would shut down so as to cancel the mining for a period of time until we are back even again.
that may be too much to ask, but it's an idea I have.
Anyway - looking forward to learning more about how to integrate Enphase solar with my soon to arrive Hubitat!
Sorry to hear about FPL is. Here in San Diego we are not there yet. we overproduce many months, some by a lot and other months we are behind. Averaged out of the year, it's a no brainer. First year we paid SDGE a total of $12.00, year 2 $36.00, year 3 $21.00
The app works great to see visually what's going on, however i haven't used it to automate anything
Hi, Im new to hubitat and trying to use this solar monitor. I imported the driver and the app from GitHub, but when I try to configure the app, my enphase does not show up in the device list. What am I doing wrong?
I removed mine several months ago since i wasn't using it for any automation...
Today I reinstalled from the ground up to see what I get and the only error that shows in my log is not being able to obtain yesterday's value (line 702) of the app code
The instructions above also indicate to wait up to 2 days before the graph will show... so that is what I will now do
I'm new to HE, I didn't know that I have to do anything else other than installing the app and the driver. I didn't get to the point to understand what a virtual device do. Can U help to walk me through the steps I have to take to get this to work?
From the HE main page, select Devices, then select Add Virtual Device
Give the new device a name, I used Solar
From the Device Type selection, scroll to the very bottom and select Enlighten Enphase (local), select Save Device (you should now have a new device)
From the device list, select it to open it up and enter the following info
Envoy Local IP Address
Enter the number of Inverters/Panels
Rated max power for each inverter
Panel size
Select Save Preferences
Now, from the HE main dashboard, select Apps, select Add User App
Select the Solar Graph app you installed earlier, select Close
From the main HE dashboard, scroll down to the bottom and open the new Solar Graph app you just installed
Select Envoy Device at the top and select the Device you created a few mins ago, select Done
Now the real hard part........... wait for a day or 2
Then open the Solar Graphs app, and select the Graph URL, it should work
