Integrating Apsystems open api into home assistant

[ties-pibc]

Hi there,

Not sure if this is the right place but i was looking into my Apsystems account (the online variant) and i saw that an open api is an option.

I do not have the technical know how on implementing this, however would this be worth adding as a new feature (although I think this is an entire new integration). Or has this been researched already and not seem to be worth it?

Thanks in advance.

Sure this is the right place for ideas and discussions, welcome!

It would be an option if the monthly access limit is raised 8.5 times or maybe at least 6 times (daytime) the current limit. Because you would like to be able to access your own data more often to react on situations like negative energy prices.

Besides that, I would hate it if you made yourself dependent on something that you would end up paying for while it was your own data.
But I'm curious what others think about the API. I think it won't be successful and is a waste of effort. It currently has insufficient parameters also. I think it is intended for a target group such as installer companies so that they can monitor installations at customers.
