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.

#28

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 :slight_smile:
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.
