The local Soliseco API allows you to control certain functions of the system directly on the local network. It is particularly useful for integrating Soliseco with an EMS, a home automation system, n8n, Home Assistant, Node-RED, or any other system capable of making HTTP requests.

Prerequisites

To use the API, you need to know the local IP address of the Soliseco box.

In the examples below, this address is represented by :

<ip>

The API also uses an access token :

soliseco

The base address is therefore :

http://<ip>/api/v1/

Change the operating mode

The mode change is done via an HTTP POST request to :

http://<ip>/api/v1/mode?token=soliseco

The desired mode must be sent in the body of the request in JSON format.

Sleep Mode

{"mode":"sleep"}

Example in PowerShell :

Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri "http://<ip>/api/v1/mode?token=soliseco" -ContentType "application/json" -Body '{"mode":"sleep"}'

Normal Mode

{"mode":"normal"}

Example :

Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri "http://<ip>/api/v1/mode?token=soliseco" -ContentType "application/json" -Body '{"mode":"normal"}'

Boost Mode

{"mode":"boost"}

Example :

Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri "http://<ip>/api/v1/mode?token=soliseco" -ContentType "application/json" -Body '{"mode":"boost"}'

Check the system status

The system status can be queried via the endpoint :

http://<ip>/api/v1/status?token=soliseco

The request is also made in POST.

Example :

Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri "http://<ip>/api/v1/status?token=soliseco" -ContentType "application/json"

The response allows you to retrieve the available status information via the local API.

Integration into an EMS or home automation system

To integrate Soliseco into an external system, simply replicate the same HTTP request.

To change mode :

  • Method : POST

  • URL : http://<ip>/api/v1/mode?token=soliseco

  • Content-Type : application/json

  • Body : {"mode":"sleep"}, {"mode":"normal"} or {"mode":"boost"}

An EMS can thus automatically adjust the operating mode of Soliseco based on photovoltaic production, consumption, a pricing signal, or any other energy logic.

Example in n8n

In a node HTTP Request :

Method

POST

URL

http://<ip>/api/v1/mode?token=soliseco

Content Type

JSON

Body

{
  "mode": "normal"
}

The value of the mode can of course be dynamic and come from another node in the workflow.

Can we simply use the URL in a browser?

No, not to change mode with the current API.

When you enter a URL in a browser's address bar, it generally makes a request GET.

However, the Soliseco API expects a request here POST accompanied by a JSON body.

Therefore, simply entering :

http://<ip>/api/v1/mode?token=soliseco&mode=sleep

in a browser does not reproduce the request expected by the API.

You need to use a system capable of sending an HTTP POST request, such as PowerShell, n8n, Home Assistant, Node-RED, Postman, or a compatible EMS.

Note regarding curl in PowerShell

Using curl.exe with JSON in Windows PowerShell can sometimes generate formatting errors related to quotes.

An error of type :

invalid_json_payload

may appear even if the URL is correct.

For testing on Windows, we therefore recommend using Invoke-RestMethod.

Example :

Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri "http://<ip>/api/v1/mode?token=soliseco" -ContentType "application/json" -Body '{"mode":"normal"}'

Security

The local API is intended to be used on the local network.

It is not recommended to expose the Soliseco box directly to the Internet via port forwarding.

For remote access, it is better to use a secure solution such as a VPN or a dedicated gateway.

Summary

Change mode

Endpoint :

POST http://<ip>/api/v1/mode?token=soliseco

Available modes :

{"mode":"sleep"}

{"mode":"normal"}

{"mode":"boost"}

Read status

Endpoint :

POST http://<ip>/api/v1/status?token=soliseco

The local Soliseco API thus allows for simple integration with the main home automation systems and energy management platforms.
