Hi, I am needing some assistance. I created a node red flow using the VRM API node to fetch future consumption and yield to help manage my ESS. The node, flow and code was fetching data, then it stopped working, around the time when Victron was having issues with VRM overload. The VRM API node n…

Managed to get it working for you, by adding: `` const https = require('https'); const http = require('http'); axios.defaults.httpAgent = new http.Agent({ family: 4 }); axios.defaults.httpsAgent = new https.Agent({ family: 4 }); ``` So forcing your system to use ipv4 for this. It looks lik…

That is a weird one. Does it work with other queries? E.g. the basic user query? What does the verbose url query show in the debug tab? If you can’t get this to work, I’d like to take a closer look at your system. You would need to enable remote support then and allow me to test a couple of times. …

Hi Dirk, The basic user query also didn’t work. The verbose url essentially provides the following which I have tested using a curl in cmd (which does return data): curl -H “Content-Type: application/json” -H “x-authorization: Token ” “ https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/installations/ /stats?type…

I removed my access token and site ID… from above, but had them in of course in the VRM API and in the console test:

Sorry, I put the wrong content above, this is the version that was sourced from the verbose URL:

curl -H “Content-Type: application/json” -H “x-authorization: Token ###########” “ https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/installations/######/stats?type=custom&attributeCodes[]=solar_yield_forecast&interval=hours&start=1760439600&end=1760526000 ”

You should be able to remote access now

This, strangely enough, looks like to be caused by a timeout. Going to try to see if I can fix that.

Thanks so much for your assistance. David

While looking into it, a thought came into mind. Just a guess, but do you happen to be connected via Optus? There is this thread on issues of the combination of VRM and Optus.
