Connect pvnode with ioBroker
ioBroker is an open-source IoT platform. The
community adapter pvforecast supports pvnode as a forecast source and exposes
the forecast as objects for your scripts and automations.
V1 or V2? The adapter has a Use pvnode API v2 checkbox for the V2 API. Without it, it runs on the V1 API, which will be shut down on 31 Dec 2026 — see Migration from V1.
Setup
- Create a site. Create your site with all
its PV strings (orientation, tilt, peak power) once in pvnode and copy the
site_id. No geometry settings are needed in the adapter after that (Sites & Strings). - Get an API key at API keys.
- Configure the adapter:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| API key | your pvnode API key |
| Use pvnode API v2 | enable |
| pvnode site ID | site_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| Subscription tier | Free / Light / Plus — sets the polling interval automatically |
| Forecast days | Free: max. 2 (today + tomorrow), Light/Plus: max. 7 |
The plant table needs at least one entry. The adapter maps the site's strings by position (plant 1 → string 0, plant 2 → string 1, …), giving you true per-plane forecasts. If no string data is available, the site total is stored under the first plant.
Further options
All remaining settings are documented by the adapter:
