MMM-Growatt module (API login and view)
-
Hello,
I have a question for @mumblebaj.
Kindly, is there a way to login with API key instead username+password method?
I read that now API key doesn’t have the classic method’s frequency update limitations.
It could be more useful to have “nearly live data” energy production.Another question, less important, is there a way to hide the grid from the “table” view?
It’s not so important, I just like compact and minimal styles, when informations are more important than design itself.
Thanks a lot -

@nowayto I have made changes to the module to accommodate the API key, however, when I tested it, it did not work for me.
The Growatt NPM module states the following:
You can get the key by having an email sent to you on the Grwatt website for a third party to display the data. The key is the combination of numbers and letters in the link. It has 96 characters.The API key I am seeing is much shorter than the 96 character key mentioned above and as a result I was getting a 500 error when I was testing it.
This is obviously the wrong key.

As such, I am reluctant to push changes I am unable to test successfully.
