Update: Sonnen EcoLinx New API
REQUIRED UPDATE
We are writing to let you know that starting Sep 2022, sonnen will begin pushing out the new API V2 to all systems. If you have already implemented an older version of Control4 driver in your project, you will need to update to the latest version to continue to use. Click the link below to download the latest version from DriverCentral:
NEW API TOKEN
sonnen now implements a token for API security. This token must be included in all API requests. Cindev has updated the sonnen driver to include a driver property for this token.
To obtain the token:
Log into sonnen via a web browser: [sonnenIP/dash/login]
Login via Installer
Select Software - Integration
Enable Read and Write API
Copy the API token and paste it into the Control4 Driver Property: sonnen API token
WEATHER INTEGRATION
Currently the Control4 driver uses Dark Sky for weather integration. This Cloud API will be shutting down starting Jan 2023. Cindev has updated the driver to support two other weather APIs for continued integration. Dealers will need to select the appropriate Weather API in the driver to continue to use weather integration.
National Weather Service: This API supports receiving weather alerts without requiring an API key. For more information on this API click here.
Tomorrow.io: This API allows for weather alerts and cloud coverage data. The alerts are also aggregated from multiple sources. It does require an API key which can easily be obtained from their website. Currently, a free API key allows for 500 API requests each day. By default, the driver requests weather alert data every 30 minutes, or 48 requests per day. For more information this API click here.
Please update all your systems to keep your sonnen and Control4 integration working. If you have any questions or issues, please contact DriverCentral Support here.
