ioBroker.alpha-ess
alpha-ess adapter for ioBroker
Due to current circumstances, please take note!
Interface restriction announcement
This adapter logs into the web API of Alpha-ESS and retrieves information for your Alpha-ESS equipment.
Depending on your Alpha-ESS product, it is possible to get realtime data and configuration data for your equipment. Which data points are returned by the API depends on your Alpha-ESS equipment.
This adapter uses the Alpha-ESS Open API, which is an official and documented API for Alpha-ESS devices.
The quality attribute of each state is set accordingly to its status:
| Quality | meaning |
|---|---|
| 0x00 | OK and up to date |
| 0x01 | value not updated due to unknown reason, see log |
| 0x02 | problem with online connection for this data point |
| 0x12 | adapter disconnected or stopped |
| 0x44 | API returned error or internal error, see log |
Settings:
To be able to use the Alpha-ESS Open API, you have to register your Alpha-ESS device unter https://open.alphaess.com. Once registered, you get a developer ID and a developer key (called "Secret"). You will need these to have access to the Open API. How to find SN and Check code for registration is described here: https://github.com/alphaess-developer/alphacloud_open_api
