I'm integrating with the cloud API via foxxesscloud but was wondering if there is any way to make API calls to the local hardware via the wifi connection, i.e. not use foxesscloud at all or only as a backup?
I'm asking this because I'm always keen to keep IoT related traffic local where possible and was thinking that the data is at least present on the logger for a period of time that could be queried...
Don't think so, people seem to use modbus to do that.SurreyDude wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2026 9:35 am I'm integrating with the cloud API via foxxesscloud but was wondering if there is any way to make API calls to the local hardware via the wifi connection, i.e. not use foxesscloud at all or only as a backup?
Quick search brought this up, not sure how relevant it is to your inverter as I think the plug pin outs change for each model. Couldn't find a link for that again though.

I was setting up a new fox installation with home assistant. I was trying implement control of the system direct to the inverter. Claude AI gave me some registers I could write/read to which worked. So I guess it is possible. I have since found modbus which was simple to implement and easy to integrate with software so overall a much better solution. Just remember that any alternative control mechanism is overridden if you have ANY schedules defined in the app.
