Powerstream

[homecoq]

Good morning,

No monitoring of the powerstream temperature and inverter relay status is KO?

is a repair planned?

@homecoq
I'm receiving inverter relay data, but like noted in your issue #239 the temperature data is currently not being provided by the API.

I suggest closing the question here so the gathered information can be focused in the issue.

Hello,

The temperature data worked at one time and still works but in a very random way

Sorry, but you are showing the temperature data of the solar panel connected to PowerStream.
From just two values I can't understand what you mean by very random.
For May I have this readings which don't look that unusual to me:

Hello, first of all thanks for implementing this feature <3

I have installed my inverter yesterday and setup the home assistant integration today. The inverter temperature was collected without any issues. I have then updated the inverter from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 and finally to 1.0.1.213

After those firmware updates the temperatur sensor is no longer displayed. Maybe this information helps you.

Thank you for your information.
I now have some e-mail correspondence with EcoFlow Customer Service Team and their latest response from 18.07.2024 was:

From the feedback of our senior group, we are afraid this very field is not open to public at the moment ,we will bring it to our users in future.
I now have the chance to ask, why they seemingly dropped the data point in the newer firmware version.

Ask them, I am interested in temperature too, like it was already working before (for solar1/2 ).
Someone can get the feeling that they intentionally no longer publish the temperature (for solar1/2) because they know it get's to hot and therefore they now purchased their Smart Fan for Powerstream to prevent that 😉

I have also noted a very strange behaviour that the power output seems to be limited to strictly 400 watts. This might also be related to the high temperatures. I have no covered the inverter so it is no longer directly in the sunlight. This flat tops are no longer visible. I want to collect more data thought. Right now this is just an assumption with too little sunny days. Just wanted to update you.

Above: Inverter in the shade but overall a sometimes cloudy day
Below: Inverter in direct sunlight

Any update/reply yet from ecoflow? thanks :)

My latest reply from EcoFlow was:

Sorry to keep you waiting for so long!
The temperature API is temporarily suspended and will be reopened later, but the exact time for reopening has not been determined yet.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause during the process.
Have a nice day!

Since the integration is currently implementing the public API and also the public API since July provides the sensor "espTempsensor" I notified the support, that this sensor is what I was looking for and closed my case.
