☀️ HA-to-PVoutput

This How-to describes the integration process to upload your data from Home Assistant to PVoutput. PVOutput is an online platform for monitoring and sharing solar power generation data. It allows users to upload their solar system data, track performance, and compare it with others worldwide.

How to:

1. Open an account at https://pvoutput.org
2. Go to settings and write down your API Key and Secret
3. Go to your configuration.yaml and add the code provided
4. Make sure you add your API KEY and SECRET
5. Edit the sensor names in the bottom line under "payload" to your sensor names
6. Restart Home Assistant
7. Create an automation to upload frequently

⬆️ It will upload your data for:

• ☀️ Production
• ⚡ PV Power
• 🌡️ Outdoor Temperature
• 🔌 Grid Voltage

🔧 Configuration:

Add this code to your configuration.yaml

⚙️ Automation:

• This YAML code uploads your data every 10 minutes
• If you wish to upload a lower interval edit to max. 5 minutes
