Extended data with different time-base?

API
#1

Background:

My inverter doesn’t have ability to show imported/exported power, only what the solar array actually generates: SimonWorkshop 20.210kW

I’m waiting for clamps to get in stock, so I can purchase iotawatt or similar. In the meantime, my power company has an API that I can scrape net import/export from, which I’d like to export to pvoutput so I can see my actual consumption/export statistics.

However, this data is only available retrospectively (a day or two behind), and only at 1hr resolution.

If I use API to upload this data, into v8/v9 with hourly samples (see extended data tab of) I don’t see the actual data, except at the start/end. v7 is already used for “internal temperature” (of my inverter, 5min samples).

https://pvoutput.org/intraday.jsp?id=105339&sid=92331&dt=20220818&gs=1&m=1

I converted data to cumulative value (rather than hourly), didn’t help. Do I need to resample it to match the v7 data? Ugh

Resampling works, see net export/import on
https://pvoutput.org/intraday.jsp?id=105339&sid=92331&dt=20220819&gs=1&m=0
But it’s ugly, and a bit misleading.

Hi @lyricnz,

Using the NETT data can you (re)calculate the PVO CONSUMPTION figures and amend them after the fact?

CONSUMPTION = GENERATION + IMPORT - EXPORT

I could - in fact, I’m rewriting the scrapers/fetches to keep all their data in a local dataframe, so I can resample/recalculate however I want before uploading. The existing gw2pvo already does “too much” by collecting weather from several other APIs.

#5

Its possible to enable the “No Graph Gaps” setting under Customise and it will connect the missing data points on the graph to form a line.
