Occasional Timeout call errors using addstatus.jsp

API
#1

I have a donation status and I’m uploading to 7 System Ids using addstatus.jsp every 5 minutes using a restful command in Home Assistant.

The success of the uploads are very inconsistent - I can upload for hours without any errors and then I get a few random Timeout call errors amongst the “200 Success” log entries .

Here’s a redacted portion of the restful command - the others are identical but use different SystemID and sensor inputs.

rest_command:
  pvoutput_test:
    method: POST
    url: https://pvoutput.org/service/r2/addstatus.jsp
    headers:
      X-Pvoutput-Apikey: "REDACTED" #
      X-Pvoutput-SystemId: "REDACTED" #
    payload: 'd={{now().strftime("%Y%m%d")}}&t={{now().strftime("%H:%M")}}&v2={{states.sensor.production_average.state|round(0)}}&v4={{states.sensor.consumption_average.state|round(0)}}&c1=1'
    content_type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Here’s an excerpt of the logfiles when the timeouts occur:

I’ve searched the HA and PVOutput forums without any success for this issue. Thanks

Best to use a tool such as winmtr and send a report to pvoutput@gmail.com

@vk2him Were you able to solve this? I’m riddled with random connection errors from Home Assistant, my other system uploads just fine from same network going through same router. It’s totally random and for seemingly no reason, changing DNS providers in Home Assistant didn’t change anything for me.
