Bump up, api needed.
Anker please listen/respond to the product users, we need a way to communicatie from our home automation products with the anker products.
A brand like Aplha ESS VM1000 what is very simulair to the Anker C1000 for example already offers an open api so it can be used with Home Assistant and other automation solution’s.
Hello Anker,
some kind of API is an absolut must. Such power devices like the Solix X1 are only half as usefull if they don’t work together with other systems. Something like a Homeassistant integration would make the use so much more flexible.
For example I have OpenWB Wallboxes here which support PV Charging. In this case it would be great to get the values of the system like PV production, SoC and grid import or export. I need those information to cutoff the charge of the EV, when the sun goes down.
And be honest, you have all that data in the system. Give us at least something like a MQTT subscribe. Readonly would be enough for most of the use cases. And this could improve your selling as well. Because the system would be more flexible.
Please give us some information about this here. Are you thinking about something like this, or aren’t you willing to give us something like an API? Some feedback would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Anker,
+1 we need a API ! The device is not really useable with home assistant. Please open MQTT for local use.
thx
Hi Anker,
+1. Please Open MQTT for local. Guess it would be a USP for you guys!
BEST
+1 Make it PRO with local API! This will set you apart from the competition and even further justify the steeper price point of the Solarbank products.
Home Assistent Integration would be very nice Feature.
Hey Anker!
+1 for a local API!
The native APP works fine for everyone but an API would create so much more benefit for the ones who like to use your systems in a more integrated way.
Let’s go!! - I already bought two anker solix systems - use some of my money to add this feature 
It’s a low hanging fruit with tremendous benefits!
Thanks a lot!
Hey Anker,
local API would be a game changer!!!
Hello Anker,
A local API would be definitely a huge improvement for the Anker solix products! (even in read only)
Wir brauchen dringend eine API. Ich schließe mich dem Wunsch an.
A local API is urgently needed.
I’m also voting for local API. It would be extremely useful for me.
A public API - even if its read-only for a first release -would for sure be a game changer and most likely a huge decision factor for anyone considering to buy solar for their home.
Please open up your API!
An open local REST-API paired with a publicly made available Software Developers Guide would be highly appreciated.
Why would you waste the potential the community offers you to generate new ideas and concepts that could make your app and/or firmware even smarter?
It would rock to control my power House with an API
+1 for local API (or any API at all)
Give all Solix products a big advantage with this!
Anker you can do this!! Leverage your product by the open source community
I would also like for Anker team to add smart home integration features or at least open the existing API to tinker with.
I just bought the Solix C1000 and had so many ideas with it. I have to put my plans on pause or maybe even return the item if I can’t figure out how to make it work. An open API would be very helpful.
Need an API too for the integration with Loxone smart home. Come on guys. Let’s go.
Read only data via mqtt should be really easy to implement, have no negative impact on selling cloud stuff (i guess?) and would already help me a lot!
