The `solaredge` platform uses the [SolarEdge Monitoring API](https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/se_monitoring_api.pdf) to allow you to get details from your SolarEdge solar power setup and integrate these in your Home Assistant installation.
|
|
|
|
<div class='note'>
|
|
|
|
The SolarEdge Monitoring API has a daily rate limit of 300 requests. In order to stay under this limit, and alow for some additional requests, the `solaredge` platform will update the site overview every 10 minutes.

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
There are 2 options in configuring the SolarEdge integration:
|
|
|
|
- Via the Home Assistant user interface where it will let you enter the port string to connect to the Velbus bus.
|
|
- Via the Home Assistant `configuration.yaml` file.
|
|
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
solaredge:
|
|
api_key: API_KEY
|
|
site_id: SITE_ID
|
|
```
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
api_key:
|
|
description: Your SolarEdge Site API key.
|
|
required: true
|
|
type: string
|
|
site_id:

|
|

|
|

|

|

{% endconfiguration %}
|
|
|
|
## Full configuration example
|
|
|
|
In case you would like to convert the values for example to kWh instead of the default Wh, you can use the [template platform](/integrations/template).
|
|
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry for template platform
|
|
sensors:
|
|
platform: template
|
|
sensors:
|
|
solaredge_energy_this_year_template:
|
|
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"
|
|
```
|
|
{% endraw %}
