This adapter allows to retrieve data from envertech cloud service (www.envertecportal.com) by polling the webservice at regular intervals. All data retrieved is stored at states accessible by users.
Access to envertech portal is secured by username / password combination. Envertech supports end user accounts and installation accounts. This adapter is only tested with end user accounts which allow access to exact one installation per account only. Each end user account is assigned to a station-id by envertech. The adapter allows cusage of multiple station-ids per adapter instance. This enables monitoring of more than one installation within one instance.
Data retrieved from envertech portal is strcutures the following way:
- station information identified by station id
- one or more gateways associated with the station identified by the gateways serial number
- one or more inverter connected to those gateways.
As described earlier every station is identified by its station-id. Retrieving the station id assigned to a user accoutn can be performed by entering username and password into the corresponding fields at tab "Cloud Configuration" and press button "Get Station-Id". The statioon-id will be displayed at field "Station-Id". Note that the adapter instace must by active for the retrieval to work.
After retrieving the desired station-id you can configure one or more stations at table "List of Cloud-Stations to monitor" - one per line.
