Solarman 2 TimescaleDB

Rationale

I wanted to keep historical data from Solarman app, so I created this Python code to scrape selected data from the API and store it in TimescaleDB.

Requirements

• Python 3.12+ (but 3.8+ should work, too)
• requests
• psycopg2

Deployment

Set the environmental variables (see .env.example) and execute solarman2timescaledb.py script. You can also build a Docker image.

To Do:

• add info where to get API keys
• sample docker-compose file
• CI pipeline for building Docker image
• a way of creating DB schema automatically
• describe how to obtain an example JSON
• add Grafana dashboard JSON
