Great Little App

Solar Watch app
Response from developer
Complication on the watch face should update with new information about every 15 minutes. Note that for this to work, your phone must be nearby to provide network connectivity. On watchOS, the background data download for complications doesn’t work if the watch is on its own on LTE. If it's not working like this for you, try restarting the watch and iPhone at the same time, then start the app again on the watch, and see if it starts updating in the background. If that doesn’t help, try unpairing the watch from the phone and pairing it again. Let me know at marconelly@gmail.com if the complication still won't update on its own even after the restart.
Disappointed with complication

Has been good but having issues
Response from developer
Hi! Can you please contact me directly at marconelly@gmail.com while I investigate why I didn’t get your support email. Number zero could be showing if the unit is not producing any power, but I’m not sure if that is what you’re seeing. Regards, Marko
Eine wirklich tolle App
Response from developer
Hi! I’ll see if I can show the house consumption. Not sure if it’s possible.
Just what I was looking for
App is simple and works as you would expect. Perfect!
Works as promised
Just what I was looking for, thank you!
Two things that would make it even better:
- iOS 14 widgets
- better background watch complication refresh, perhaps based on the 5 min intervals imposed by the solar edge api 🤔
Habe mehr erhofft
Response from developer
Google-translated to German: Hallo Dennis. Die kleine Uhrenkomplikation zeigt die aktuelle Leistung während des Tages und die insgesamt erzeugte Leistung während der Nacht an, wenn die aktuelle Leistung 0 beträgt. Beachten Sie, dass Sie eine der größeren Komplikationen verwenden können, die beide gleichzeitig anzeigen. Original reply in English: Hi Dennis. The small watch complication displays the current power during the day, and total generated power during the night, when the current power is 0. Note that you can use one of the larger complications that will show both at the same time.
API requires you are an admin user
Looks great by the way.
Just wish I could use it.
Response from developer
I’m really sorry that it turned out that way - I wasn’t aware that an inverter owner could end up in this situation. So far at least, no other users I know of ran into this problem, and I’ll ask some of those I’m in contact with, to see if they know why they got the admin access initially, or what they had to do to get it - and I’ll let you know if I find anything. You can contact me at marconelly@gmail.com if you want instructions for a refund, or just to keep in touch if I discover something. I would especially like to know if you are able to generate any API key while being non-admin. If you can, I will adapt the app to work with such a key. I really want to make the app work for you, and anyone else who is in your position.
works great!
Simple and well designed
Lifetime Revenue
Other than that great app. The following requests are easy for me to ask for. But getting them to work may be another whole kettle of fish.
Is there any chance of Siri integration ? So if I ask what’s my current generation? Or how much energy is the house pulling ? Either from the grid/solar.
Response from developer
Hi Vigneshp. I do plan on adding the Siri Shortcuts, probably in the next non-bugfix update. As for the lifetime revenue, I believe that should be working in the U.K. I think there is an option in the SolarEdge console where you have to enter the cost of a single kWh, and then the app can calculate how much revenue you have.
Displays solar generation on Apple watch
Complication display auto updates every 15 mins on the watch.
I would love some indication of how many kw is being used by home and how much is being sent back to the grid - this data is shown in the SolarEdge app so hopefully is available via their api? For me it is much more advantageous to consume the energy at home!
Thanks Marko. I bought this after listening to your podcast interview on Apple WatchCast- even though I don’t have Nest (I have Hive). I appreciated your well thought out design and approach to make something with quality.
Response from developer
Hey Mat, glad to hear you're enjoying the app. Complication on the watch face should update with new information about every 15 minutes. If it's not doing that, please try restarting the watch, then start the app again, and see if it continues updating in the background. Let me know at marconelly@gmail.com if the complication still won't update on its own even after the watch restart. That's a great idea about showing how much energy is used vs. how much is sent back to the grid! If SolarEdge provides that kind of information, I'll definitely try to implement it into the app.
Brilliant little app
Response from developer
Hey Llama, Complication on the watch face should already update with new information about every 15 minutes. If it's not doing that, please try restarting the watch, then start the app again, and see if it continues updating in the background. Let me know at marconelly@gmail.com if the complication still won't update on its own even after the watch restart.
Simple, easy and just works!
Good App + Wishes & Ideas
My wishlist (dreams):
- Instrad of API Key Login via SE Portal for higher refreshment rate
- Menue to set refreshment rate which App should get data from portal
- Siri shortcut integration „hey Siri what is my actual production“ and „hey Siri what is my solar production for today“
Works great
Response from developer
Hey The Spirit, can you try just restarting both your phone and the watch at the same time - then run the app again? Does the app show info on your phone? I’d really love to help you fix this problem, so if the restart doesn’t help, can you contact me at marconelly@gmail.com
