Cannot get remote port via API

We are trying to get remote port through API, but the API is returning an empty set (as seen in Python):

{u'records': {u'data': {u'152': []},
              u'meta': {u'152': {u'code': u'rs',
                                 u'description': u'Remote support port',
                                 u'formatValueOnly': u'%.0F',
                                 u'formatWithUnit': u'Port %.0F'}}},
 u'success': True}

The remote port is enabled and showing in the remote console via VRM website.

The request URL is:

GET https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/installations/1039/widgets/Graph?attributeCodes[]=rs

Am I understanding the syntax correctly?

Hi Oskar, it looks ok to me.

but what I’d use is the diagnostics endpoint; instead of the graphs endpoint.

Hi,

I still cannot figure out how to get the remote support port. Remote support is enabled, but cannot get it through the diagnostics API.

I can get the basic diagnostics view, but cannot query 'rs' (=remote support port).

https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/installations/<inst_id>/diagnostics?count=1

What should I add here so I could get the remote port?

Having a similar issue, also posted on another question (here: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/47643/api-empty-data.html). No matter what I do, all Graph endpoints return empty data, even if the data shows correctly in VRM.

Inst_id: 57479
Example endpoint used:
https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/installations/57479/widgets/Graph?attributeCodes[]=SOC

Output:

{
    "success": true,
    "records": {
        "data": {
            "51": []
        },
        "meta": {
            "51": {
                "code": "SOC",
                "description": "State of charge",
                "formatValueOnly": "%.1F",
                "formatWithUnit": "%.1F %%"
            }
        }
    }
}
