More on GoodWe SemsPortal and Notifications

About GoodWe SemsPortal

This service enables you to create your home automation based on the metrics from your GoodWe inverter. It periodically reads new data from SemsPortal and fires triggers when defined limits are reached.

By using metrics like Pmeter (W), Power (W) or SOC (%) you can trigger actions when your PV starts/stops providing enough excess solar energy or when your battery is charged/drained.

Tip: Combine these triggers with an electric heater or a mobile air conditioning unit in a smart plug to effectively get a watt router without the need for additional devices!

Important: The triggers fire 'on the edge', not 'on the level'. This means that for example the trigger "PV metric exceeds a limit" fires only when the value goes from below the limit to above the limit. It then does not fire until the value drops below and exceeds the limit again.

Future plans: Currently the service polls SemsPortal for new data every 5 minutes (no matter what IFTTT plan you have). However, your GoodWe inverter provides new data every single minute. So that you can get the most out of your inverter, we are planning to increase the download frequency to one minute as part of a subscription. Press the Visit button below for more details.
