      I’m having trouble to get the module “MMM-Solar” to work as it should.
      There are only 3 things needed to configure the module and I have all 3 of them in the config.js file. The API-key, my userID and my systemID.
      But on running the MM2 the module only displays “Loading…”.
      I feel like I’m missing a step! I feel like I need to connect my Enphase system to my API-account. But I have no idea how or even if that is needed.

      Is there someone who got this module to work and wants to help me?
      Or is there a way to get in touch with the module creator so I can ask him what I’m doing wrong?

        restart the mirror with
        npm start dev
        to open the developers console, then select the console tab,

        are there any errors shown?

          @sdetweil … WOW! :fearful_face: :fearful_face: :fearful_face:
          Didn’t know about this! Looks nice!
          But back to the problem…in the console tab I can see some errors but not about the Solar module. There are 2 warnings that the Solar module got a notification from another module but don’t think that’s a problem.
          I can see 3 errors for the modules: MMM-Buienradar, weatherforcast (openweathermap is unauthorized yet it works fine) and for my crypto coins chart (it can’t find cryptocoin picture/logo’s in a specific folder).
          So the Solar-module should work fine looking at this.

            ok, can u find the console window where you did npm start dev, and see if there are errors reported there? alt-tab, should bring up a list of windows, so you can select the right console window

              I’m not seeing any errors but I see something strange…
              Down at the bottomit says:
              “…
              Sockets connected & moduls started …
              Launching application.
              …”
              Then a bit futher down a line reads:
              “…
              Notification: GET_SOLAR Payload: [object object]
              …”

              Looks like it’s missing data that it needs to find somewere. Am I right?

                @mwel1977 thats just bad logging

                edit the node_helper.js file in the MMM-Solar folder, at the end

                after this

                if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
                					var jsonData = JSON.parse(body);
                				        self.sendSocketNotification("SOLAR_DATA", jsonData);
                				}
                

                add this

                				else{
                				   if(error!=null){
                					console.log("api request error ="+ JSON.stringify(error));
                				   }
                				   else{
                					console.log("api response code error ="+ response.statusCode);
                				   }
                				}
                

                i get this

                Notification: GET_SOLAR Payload: [object Object]
                api response code error =401
                

                401 is authentication failed

                    @sdetweil - Just FYI for everyone: 401 is an Unauthorized Request error message. For some reason, your combination of API key, userID and systemID are not working.

                      @bhepler I know. I don’t have a key. So it should fail. I was just giving an example of the improved error reporting to help out

                        @sdetweil I’ll try it tonight.
                        Been busy last couple of days (sadly not with my MM2).
                        But I think it has something to do with the API not being able to connect to my solarpanel system. Like I mentionent before.
