The `pvoutput` sensor platform consumes informations from [PVOutput](http://pvoutput.org/) which were uploaded by your solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
|
|
|
|
To add PVOutput details to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: pvoutput
|
|
system_id: YOUR_SYSTEM_ID
|
|
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
|
|
scan_interval: 120
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your API key. A read-only key is fine.
|
|
- **system_id** (*Required*): The ID of your station.
|
|
|
|
<p class='note warning'>
|
|
It's recommended to set `scan_interval:` according to a value greater than 60 seconds. The service only allows 60 requests per hour but the sensor's default is 30 seconds.
