Cloud Datum Streams
SolarNetwork has added support for Cloud Integrations — the ability to acquire data from external systems, when you do not have a SolarNode edge device delpoyed to collect the data directly. Some device manufacturers have deployed their own cloud services that their devices publish data to, so a Cloud Datum Stream can help to get that data into SolarNetwork.
Once a Cloud Datum Stream is configured, SolarNetwork will automatically collect the data into SolarNetwork, where you can access it with all the APIs SolarNetwork offers, no differently than if a SolarNode had collected the data.
There are quite a lot of device clouds out in the wild. Right now we have added support for the following services:
- eGauge
- Locus Energy (AlsoEnergy)
- OpenWeatherMap
- SolarEdge
- Solcast
- SolrenView (Solectria)
See the Cloud Integrations guide for more information. SolarNetwork provides a Cloud Integrations API for managing the configuration required for the cloud integrations to work, such as the credentials used to connect with the cloud service.
Get started now
This feature is available now to all SolarNetwork subscribers. If you do not see a cloud integration for the service you would like to integrate with, reach out to us and we’ll be happy to discuss what it would take to add support for that service.
