Enhancements:

  • Add new site_rules endpoint query #68
  • Add optional energy data to device details #67
  • Implement method to query messages for site #45
  • Need helper function to change the home load #19

Notes on the set_home_load helper function:

  • It allows to change the home load for the appliance only at this point. For sites with dual solarbank setup, the appliance load has a fixed share of 50% each. Starting with Anker App 2.1.0, the solarbank share can be modified if 50% is not suitable. This capability is not implemented yet and first needs to be understood and someone needs to test it who has dual bank setup. It is assumed, that this requires the new endpoint used in the set_device_load method. But the request parameter data is not clear. This method does not apply the requested changes for a single solarbank setup at all.
  • It was found, that setting an incomplete schedule or missing parameters in the schedule slots may result in a complete erasure of your configured schedule for your power system.
  • When the method is used and no schedule is defined, a single schedule slot for the whole day will be created using defaults or provided settings with the helper method.
  • Testing for the lower power range settings have shown that you the low and high power limits returned by the Cloud Api seem to get enforced. Those limits are actually 100W min and 800W max. as shown in responses for the home load schedule. So while the Api library supports a low limit of 50 W that you can set as appliance load, it is basically ignored because it is below the given limits returned from the cloud. Nevertheless, when you set 800W home load but your inverter supports just 600 W or less, damage may occur!

Attention

The Api library does NOT verify if the set home load is suitable for your devices. It will only be applied to solarbank device types, but the limits for the attached inverter are unknown. I need to warn at this point again, that it is the USER's SOLE RISK using this Api library. If you apply too much power and cause damage to your inverters or solarbank, you may loose manufacturar's warranty as well !!!!!
