all values are zero

[manW13-be]

Hello
I use version 1.0.22. I am new user trying to get enphase info at higher rate than 1/15min.
I configured the add-on successfully I believe.
On my MQTT spy (MQTT Explorer), I can see the MQTT traffic related to the envoy.
But all values are zero.
[{"eid": 1023410688, "timestamp": 1769333281, "actEnergyDlvd": 0.0, "actEnergyRcvd": 0.0, "apparentEnergy": 0.0, "reactEnergyLagg": 0.0, "reactEnergyLead": 0.0, "instantaneousDemand": 0.0, "activePower": 0.0, "apparentPower": 0.0, "reactivePower": 0.0, "pwrFactor": 0.0, "voltage": 0.0, "current": 0.0, "freq": 0.0, "channels": [{"eid": 2097152513, "timestamp": 1769333281, "actEnergyDlvd": 0.0, "actEnergyRcvd": 0.0, "apparentEnergy": 0.0, "reactEnergyLagg": 0.0, "reactEnergyLead": 0.0, "instantaneousDemand": 0.0, "activePower": 0.0, "apparentPower": 0.0, "reactivePower": 0.0, "pwrFactor": 0.0, "voltage": 0.0, "current": 0.0, "freq": 0.0}, {"eid": 2097152258, "timestamp": 1769333281, "actEnergyDlvd": 0.0, "actEnergyRcvd": 0.0, "apparentEnergy": 0.0, "reactEnergyLagg": 0.0, "reactEnergyLead": 0.0, "instantaneousDemand": 0.0, "activePower": 0.0, "apparentPower": 0.0, "reactivePower": 0.0, "pwrFactor": 0.0, "voltage": 0.0, "current": 0.0, "freq": 0.0}, {"eid": 2097152515, "timestamp": 1769333281, "actEnergyDlvd": 0.0, "actEnergyRcvd": 0.0, "apparentEnergy": 0.0, "reactEnergyLagg": 0.0, "reactEnergyLead": 0.0, "instantaneousDemand": 0.0, "activePower": 0.0, "apparentPower": 0.0, "reactivePower": 0.0, "pwrFactor": 0.0, "voltage": 0.0, "current": 0.0, "freq": 0.0}]}]
I have an Envoy-S-Standard-EU Firmware D8.3.5167.
It is connected to two relays playing for two interphases of a triphased 230V (no neutral).
The envoy plugin can show data for today.
Thanks for assistance.

Hi,
I'll need some more information please -

Can you paste a screenshot of the configuration page from the add-on - be sure to redact sensitive information

Can you please enable the "debug" option on the configuration page, restart the addon, then copy/paste the output here (redact anything sensitive)

Thanks

Hello @vk2him. Looks like I have the same problem.
I updated my (self build and running with no problems for more than year) docker to the latest version of envoy_to_mqtt_json.py (also after adding new entry in options.json and changing the “false” booleans to false). I want to be prepared for the Enphase firmware change for https-only calls.
No my stream on mqtt is same as above and missing the meters entries. Please help.
The same for the envoy_use_https false and true setting.

Edit: sorry my values are not zero. Looks like I have to change my template sensors.

@Torch1969 - please confirm that your installation is now working properly after changing the templates? Which version Envoy firmware do you have please?

[vk2him]

@evoet - the log shows my addon is connecting to your Envoy correctly, however the Envoy is sending out zeros.

Can you power off/on your Envoy and try again?

If you still see all zeros, on a web browser navigate to https://envoy.local/ivp/meters/readings and you should also see zeros. You will probably need to login by obtaining a token.

You may need to contact Enphase as your Envoy may be faulty?

[manW13-be]

Hi,
After reboot, visiting the page was initially refused, then landing on the page I have to enter a token, which I did.
Then going onto the URL you gave and ... indeed all zeros.
You think the envoy is faulty? I will contact enphase... not before 10 days I am afraid.
Thanks for your support.

[vk2him]

@evoet - I'm uncertain at this point if your envoy is faulty or if my recent code changes have broken anything. FYI, I have a Firmware version v5 Envoy, so I'm unable to test any of the firmware V8 endpoints and I need to rely on others assisting for non V5 firmware.

To further test your Envoy, you can try navigating to the following url endpoints in your browser and see what they display as any correct or non functional/unexpected outputs will give us some clues? Note a few will require a token per the earlier testing you did.

• https://envoy.local/info - this will work and display information about your envoy - I know it's working as part of the output is displayed in the log file you attached above
• https://envoy.local/production.json
• https://envoy.local/ivp/livedata/stream
• https://envoy.local/stream/meter - note you will need to use the installer username and generate the password with the passwordCalc.py python script

Finally, can you try disabling the HTTPS option and keep debug enabled in configuration and see what happens - do you now see data in mqtt explorer and the addon log?

Hello @vk2him, I can confirm it’s working again. Sorry for breaking into this issue. Somehow after upgrading the stream changed from “meters” to “Eid” values, so I had to change the template sensors to “activepower” of value[0] for PV and value[1] for grid consumption.
My firmware is D8.3.5167, so not yet on the version with https only calls. However i already prepared for that by setting the https key to true (which is working).
Thanks for your effort on this :-)
I will keep an eye on my firmware update and report back here.

[vk2him]

@Torch1969 No worries, one of the fixes in this version was that a number of Boolean options were incorrectly coded and always returned true regardless of if they were set to false - refer to #51. This meant the stream you output was always the "battery" version (https://envoy.local/ivp/livedata/stream), hence why you needed to change templates to cater for the non battery stream (https://envoy.local/ivp/meters/readings). Thanks for raising

@vk2him

I've requested enphase to grant me an installer privilege.

Hello @vk2him, yesterday my envoy gateway updated to firmware version 8.3.5286. This application is still working fine with https and new templates. Thx again.

[vk2him]

@evoet - it looks like your envoy has a fault as you should be seeing non zero values, and the other end points should return data. Have you been able to arrange for a replacement?

[vk2him]

@Torch1969 - thanks for confirming the script works with the new firmware, cheers

[manW13-be]

@vk2him
Here their reply:
The Envoy‑S‑Standard‑EU model does not support consumption or production metering. Because of this, meter‑related API endpoints will return zero values or blank pages.
To obtain meter readings, you will need to use an Envoy‑S‑Metered gateway, which includes integrated metering hardware.

Back to beginning:
-is a requirement for the add-on?
-if not, how to highlight that my system is not working as expected?
Thx

Approximately 10 years ago, I too had an Envoy-S-Standard model and it reliably output production only data on the endpoint http://envoy.local/stream/meter - edit - note version 5 doesn't use https, so it's http and not https

So first up - can you please try endpoint http://envoy.local/stream/meter - you'll need to use the installer username and the password that is generated by the passwordCalc python script (if you can't run this, send me a PM or email with your Envoy Serial number and I'll generate it for you ... my email is my github username at gmail ) .... I wonder if you will see any data there?

I was running version 5 firmware and one day, they "upgraded" it to version 6 firmware which then broke the https://envoy.local/stream/meter endpoint. It took me a while, however after a lot of back and forward discussion with Enphase support, they agreed to downgrade my firmware back to version 5 and promised to never auto upgrade me in future unless I called them back to request an upgrade. Approximately 7 years ago, I installed extra panels and upgraded to the Envoy-S-Metered which gave me Production and Consumption data, and true to their promise, Enphase ensured my Envoy remained at version 5 firmware.

So I suggest that if you want the https://envoy.local/stream/meter to work, you require version 5 firmware as well, so you'll need to contact Enphase again and request a permanent downgrade until you advise otherwise. I'm assuming you don't have batteries as that won't work on an Envoy-S-Standard, so version 5 firmware "should" be OK for you. The only thing that may prevent you from using version 5 firmware is if you require a certain Grid profile that is not available on version 5.

You can see your Grid Profile by navigating to envoy.local/installer/setup/home#initial_setup and use the installer username and the password - this is what mine looks like as I'm in Australia
