I was very disappointed when I realized that the data showing from the app was 20min behind, and going through the cloud, while the Envoy box is connected to my local network and has a per-second stream.

their documentation is close to inexistant too. There were a couple opensource projects, with some snippets of code to get inspiration from to connect and scrape the data directly from the local API.

I did this and pushed data to grafana, but never took the time to share it.

Since my last attempt, it seems that more projects showed up that did a better job than me making it reusable :)

Thanks so much for your note and these links! Can't wait to give it a shake.

Thanks for the shoutout to my wrapper and docs too :)

My GitHub repo serves 2 purposes:

1. To provide a reusable wrapper (currently only Python, https://github.com/Matthew1471/Enphase-API/blob/main/Documen...) to talk to the LAN API, it's even installable via pip.

2. To document what the LAN API returns and all the URL endpoints (https://github.com/Matthew1471/Enphase-API/tree/main/Documen...).

I would like to see more people using the wrapper so we have a common way of talking to the IQ Gateway (there's a lot of tightly coupled projects on GitHub), but most people seem more interested in the docs I provide and rolling their own wrapper.

I always have plans to add more to it - I found multiple security vulnerabilities in the IQ Gateway and that allowed me to get a dump of the firmware - so there's plenty more URLs for me to write about :)
