node-red-contrib-growatt-2 1.1.3

Access to the Growatt API. Using the PCLHome/growatt library.

npm install node-red-contrib-growatt-2

node-red-contrib-growatt

With this node you can download data from the Growatt© Shine Webserver. It is only a wrapper around the existing library of PLCHome. Thanks for that!

Installation of Node-RED nodes

You can install the growatt node through the Node-RED library. Search for 'node-red-contrib-growatt-2'.

Usage

After creating a 'Growatt' node, create at least one config node for the credentials you use to login with your ShinePhone app or on https://server.growatt.com. The config node can bed reused on several 'Growatt' nodes.

As soon as a message arrives at the input of the node, the Growatt API call will be performed. The API result will be sent as a new message via the output.

Known issues

This node does not support the parameters historyLastStartDate, historyLastEndDate and historyStart at the moment, which are available in the underlying library.
