Energy Hive API, IFTTT Alexa, Smart Switch
Looking to have an app (probably IFTTT) on Alexa that can access our solar monitor ([login to view URL] - Instant readings) and switch a smart plug on and off.
- Poll the solar system, say every 15 minutes.
- Calculate from the 2 sensors (Main Load and Solar generation) if there is excess power, between 2 levels)
- switch on Smart outlet (E.g. TP-Link Smart Wi-Fi Plug) via Alexa
- Turn off the switch if the power Main Load is a specified level above the Solar generation. The solar generation will likely be only 2/3 of the load.
- Operate within a specifid time period )E.g. 9am to 5pm
More details on the parameters and expected operation can be given. Parameters need to be adjustable.
Hi
I had experience in both software and hardware programming. Also I had recently done home automation project using Alexa. I can show you that work sample. I am believe that we can work together friend.
Can you share more details about your project? Like the brand of your sensors?
And which controller you are using in your network?
