springfall2008/batpred v7.21.0

Solcast cloud service support, documentation updates

on GitHub

What's Changed

Added support for Predbat to talk directly to Solcast

You can now set your API key for Solcast in apps.yaml and have Predbat talk directly instead of using the Solcast plugin as follows:

  # Solcast cloud interface, set this or the local interface below
  solcast_host: 'https://api.solcast.com.au/'
  solcast_api_key: 'xxxx'
  solcast_poll_hours: 8

Keep in mind that if you have Predbat connected to Solcast it will use up your maximum polls per day so its best to pick either Predbat direct or Solcast integration but not both.
