Local API

[zachn911]

Has anyone else seen the local web server not offering the web pages anymore starting around 2 weeks ago?

[sg1888]

Yes, my integration completely stopped working. The SunPower app still works, so the unit is still functioning. I think SunStrong is starting to block local access, though I hope i'm wrong. Is your integration still working?

[zachn911]

Mine completely stopped working and local lan for installer computer is no longer functioning either

There was a discussion about the PVS not responding in this issue, #110

The resolution was a power cycle.

Out of curiosity, do you Lease/PPA or Own (cash or loan) the system?

[zachn911]

I own. And have tried power cycle including other things. Even had my whole array down for half a day to see if that did anything.

[jwelter1971]

I also own it outright.

Same here. Power cycle didn't work. I don't even get a 404 screen - it just times out.

EDIT: I got it back up and running. I am using a travel router as a bridge, and for some reason the PVS6 started ignoring the LAN ethernet address I set for the bridge (172.27.153.10). I changed the LAN address on a hunch, and voila, it started working again. I'm not sure if the PVS is actively ignoring certain addresses, but at least this is what worked for me (for now).

@sg1888 can you provide more information on what you changed? I'm not getting any data from the PVS anymore, either.

Isn't it about time someone hacks the PVS itself? Come on, people smarter than myself!
Someone has to figure out how to hack these things, the way https://github.com/revk/ESP32-Faikin and https://github.com/PaulWieland/ratgdo did with the Daikin ACs and Chamberlain garage door openers, respectively

I found that I had to reset the PVS and then reload the integration during the day. Reloading it at night resulted in a DIV by zero error.

There is someone actively doing this. They have been able to make some rather amazing advances.

@heyhewmike do you have any more info? Who, how can I assist, etc?

I'm getting a 403 FORBIDDEN error as of the 15th of May. Rebooting didn't help. I half expected this when I got the notification that the service was going to another provider. We'll see if there's a workaround that actually works. Right now I do have an energy monitor (Emporia) that can monitor the solar output but it's cloud and not quite as accurate.

@heyhewmike do you know anything about how to get access to the communicator he references - I can't tell if I'm just missing something or if it's one of the things he can't share for liability reasons.

It is a piece of software that runs on the PVS.

A majority of people are using this: https://github.com/krbaker/hass-sunpower to pull data into Home Assistant.

There are a lot of resources listed on there and there should be a link to show you a way to wire it up for network access.

[dovy6]

Yeah but as awesome as hass-sunpower is, it still only kinda works.
