Description

Monitor the SolarEdge status on your Apple Watch and with Siri.

Solar Watch lets you monitor your SolarEdge power production right on the watch face of your Apple Watch, on the Home Screen Widget and the Lock Screen Widget on your iOS devices, and using Siri. You can create Siri shortcuts and then say for example: "Hey Siri, what's the current power" - and hear the response.
To access Siri Shortcuts, tap the app menu in the top/right, then tap on "Siri Shortcuts".

Every watch complication type is supported, with special attention given to complications that use gauges.

During daytime, the complications are displaying current power production, and total daily energy produced. Gauges are color-coded, and show the percentage of current power vs. the maximum.
During night time, total energy produced during last day is shown, and the complication gauges act as a timer that counts down how much time roughly there is until sunrise.

Watch app has a scrollable view with various stats, including daily, monthly and yearly total power, as well as environmental benefits and calculated revenue.

Current power, daily and monthly production is also displayed in the iOS widgets, both on the Home Screen and on the Lock Screen..

Based on the robust and proven codebase that powers Thermo Watch and Watch Cam apps, enjoyed by tens of thousands of users. The app is extremely quick and efficient, with near-instant launch time, and seamless background updates.

While the app's minimalist looks betray the simplicity of its operation, what they don't show is the amount of planning, design, development and refinement that went into it, ensuring it becomes something that is enjoyable to use and experience.

The goal was to make a product that would not look out of place next to one of the apps bundled with the Apple Watch.

Please Note: SolarEdge admin console access is needed to generate the API key that is used to sign into the app.
Solar Watch does not collect any of your data. Your API Key and any app activity - all of it flows exclusively between your devices and SolarEdge. Author of Solar Watch does not access any of it, at any point.
Solar Watch is not affiliated with SolarEdge, but it is created with their approval.

Lifetime Revenue

Thanks Marko for a fantastic app. Saves me having to constantly look at the widget/app on my phone. Will it be possible to have this feature work outside the US ? I’m in the UK.

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.

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

Great work! I really like this app as I’m still fascinated by my solar production.

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.

Developer Response ,

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

This is exactly what I wanted, to see my current generation and daily total on my watch. My only suggestion would be a 15 minute auto refresh as I have to touch the complication to get the data. Great job.

Developer Response ,

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.
