Enphase Envoy

A sensor platform for the Enphase Envoy solar energy gateway. Works with older models that only have production metrics (ie. Envoy-C) and newer models that offer both production and consumption metrics (ie. Envoy-S).

Configuration

To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: enphase_envoy

Configuration Variables

namestring(Optional)

An optional name that will be prepended to the sensor type

ip_addressstring(Optional)

The local IP address of your Envoy. Leave blank to use the default host name ‘envoy’, but this may not always be reliable. You should be able to just browse to this IP address.

usernamestring(Optional)

Access more information beyond the basics, such as Inverter data. Some Envoy devices do not use the standard username which is used by the API. This lets the user use a different username than the default of ‘envoy’.

passwordstring(Optional)

Password to be used with the username configuration variable.

monitored_conditionslist(Optional)

The list of conditions to monitor. If you have an Envoy that doesn’t support consumption metrics (ie. Envoy-C), it’s best only configure the production metrics.

production

The power in W being produced by the solar panels.

daily_production

The energy in Wh produced that day.

seven_days_production

The energy in Wh produced the last 7 days.

lifetime_production

The energy in Wh produced in the lifetime of the Envoy.

consumption

The power in W being consumed in the whole house.

daily_consumption

The energy in Wh consumed that day.

seven_days_consumption

The energy in Wh consumed the last 7 days.

lifetime_consumption

The energy in Wh consumed in the lifetime of the Envoy.

inverters

The power in W being produced by each micro-inverter. This will create a separate sensor for each micro-inverter you have installed. These sensors will only update about every 15 minutes, this is a limitation of the Enphase Envoy API.
