Overview
The hardware and services metrd can connect to.
An integration is a connection to a piece of hardware or an external service that supplies metrd with data. Each integration has its own configuration - things like an IP address, API key, or poll interval - and reports one or more capabilities depending on what it's able to provide.
Capabilities
Integrations can report data in different ways:
- Live - current readings, polled on a short interval
- Historical - past readings, useful for backfilling
- Forecast - predicted future values
- Tariff - pricing information tied to import or export
Not every integration supports every capability. A solar forecasting service only provides Forecast data, while an inverter connection typically provides Live data.
Available integrations
| Integration | Provides | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| SolaX | Live readings from your inverter, battery, and grid meter | Polled directly over your local network |
| Solcast | Predicted solar generation for your location | Cloud API |
See the following pages for details on configuring each one. More hardware, providers, and tariff integrations are planned - see Future Plans.
