How to get power production?
Closed this issue · 12 comments
I am testing this awesome SDK out, and it seems to be working fine for most things. One thing I can't access is the power production at our home. There is support for production in the TIbber API, but everything is either null or 0. I tried to access the API directly and I get empty values there as well. The documentation is very poor, so it is impossible to find out exactly what values Tibber are providing here?
I assumed that once you register a solar panel system in Tibber (we have SolarEdge), it is added as a power production device, and the values collected should be the ones the API provide, but that is not the case it seems? Do you know how to access this data? I could access the data through SolarEdge REST, but I am limited to 200 queries/day, which is not enough. It would be best to access everything through the Tibber subscription API, since thye seem to get data more often.
Also, the signalStrength value is also null, for some reason. We have a Watty at home, and it is definetely working, so I guess this is also not working/not implemented.
powerProduction is net production that you deliver back to grid and comes from Pulse/Watty. It's not gross production your inverter provides. Right now other device data than Pulse/Watty is not exposed through the API.
signalStrength is populated only at the time we receive it from Pulse/Watty. For watty it's once per minute I believe. When we receive it the next record in the stream will contain the value, then all the next null again until we receive new value. It's like that to avoid misleading we have fresh signal value with every reading.
I have the same Problem:
In API Explorer:
{ viewer { homes { production(resolution: DAILY, last: 2) { nodes { from to production productionUnit } } } } }
This works with the Demo Token, but not with my own Token?
Answer with Demo Token:
{ "data": { "viewer": { "homes": [ { "production": { "nodes": [ { "from": "2023-05-05T00:00:00.000+02:00", "to": "2023-05-06T00:00:00.000+02:00", "production": 16.718, "productionUnit": "kWh" }, { "from": "2023-05-06T00:00:00.000+02:00", "to": "2023-05-07T00:00:00.000+02:00", "production": 26.807, "productionUnit": "kWh" } ] } } ] } } }
Answer with my Token:
{ "data": { "viewer": { "homes": [ { "production": { "nodes": [] } } ] } } }
@kr0815 did you have production exceeding consumption during that time? Note the answer above:
powerProduction is net production that you deliver back to grid and comes from Pulse/Watty. It's not gross production your inverter provides.
yes, i had exceeding power that left the house
This is also shown in the App
If i do a query with "production" i get an empty result
if i try "powerProduction" - this word is unknown / not even suggested
In other forums - same problem, no answer
@kr0815 we need to take a look at your data. Would you share your email address you used to register to Tibber here or send it to me at toni@tibber.com?

Hi Toni,
i send you a mail - would be really cool if we could solve it
Hello @toini,
is there a solution to this issue?
I am facing the same behavior, no production values available.
(Testing in https://developer.tibber.com/explorer)
I noticed, when generating the access token, "Consumption" is listed as a selectable value, but "production" is not.
Thank you.
@DerMarshal is you production exceeding consumption? Note that the value is net production, not gross.
@DerMarshal the previous request was directed to support@tibber.com as the issue is not with the .NET client but rather with the API. Could you contact them?
@toini Thanks for the info, I will contact support@tibber.com.
for your information, after many mails, my problem was never solved - so i used another energy meter / made my own calculation to get the feeded power
@kr0815 @DerMarshal can you confirm you both see/saw net production in the Tibber mobile app but not in API when you look at it at developer.tibber,com?
