The pvoutput sensor platform consumes informations from PVOutput which were uploaded by your solar photovoltaic (PV) system.

To add PVOutput details to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: pvoutput
    system_id: YOUR_SYSTEM_ID
    api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
    scan_interval: 120

Configuration variables:

  • api_key (Required): Your API key. A read-only key is fine.
  • system_id (Required): The ID of your station.

It's recommended to set `scan_interval:` according to a value greater than 60 seconds. The service only allows 60 requests per hour but the sensor's default is 30 seconds.
