Solax Inverter Local API

Support for local Solax G3 inverters using the WiFi dongle with local connection and API instead of the cloud connection. Special thanks to https://github.com/squishykid/solax who did all of the hard work by reverse engineer and implement all inverter API responses, i just ported the python project partly to Homey / NodeJS Project can be found on https://github.com/jurgenmahn/homey-solax-local-api Supported inverters X1 X1 Boost X1 Hybrid Gen4 X1 Mini X1 Mini V34 X1 Smart X3 X3 Hybrid G4 X3 Mic Pro G2 X3 Ultra X3 V34 X Hybrid How to use: Recent inverter models, including those using PocketWifi devices, have undergone changes in their firmware. These updates have altered how their API is accessible: New Behavior: The API is no longer available when the inverter is connected to your home Wi-Fi network. Current Access Point: The API remains accessible, but only through the inverter's own broadcasted Wi-Fi network (SSID). Solution for Integration: To use this sensor with updated inverters, you'll need to set up a reverse proxy system. This involves: Using a device like a Raspberry Pi Configuring the Raspberry Pi with two network connections: a) One connection to your home network b) Another Wi-Fi connection to the inverter's SSID Setting up NGINX to act as a reverse proxy This setup allows you to maintain access to the inverter's API while it's not directly exposed on your main network. NGINX proxy IPTables: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 192.168.1.1 --dport 888 -j DNAT --to-destination 5.8.8.8:80
