Hi,
I am sorry if this question has been answered before, but I can not find anything.
I wonder if there is a way, either via the API or MQTT to get historical data. I don't mind if it is just yesterdays data.
Specifically I want to extract Solar generated and consumption from the day before, so I can build predicted solar from forecast.solar and what actually happened.
I am aware that it is available to download from VRM, but I would like to automate it.
Thank you in advance
Tom
Hi @tashbee,
That should be possible - the VRM API is documented here - https://vrm-api-docs.victronenergy.com/
Depending how confident you are with API level programming, you might want to try and enlist the help of a tool like https://chat.openai.com/ to walk you through the necessary steps and assist with coding the script to behave like you want it too. It isn't perfect, and you WILL need to clean up the code it generates, but it can be helpful when getting started.
Hi Guy,
This all looks great, I just need to get an api key as mentioned my Chat GPT.
I have made myself an installer, but it says that I can generate myself a key via the gear icon in vrm.
"Click on the gear icon at the top right corner of the screen to access the installation's settings."
Maybe I'm being blind, but I can not find anywhere.
Sorry if I'm being thick.
Regards
Tom
