Munin Monitor Tesla Powerwall/Solar info using local API

Who this is for:

Tesla Solar owners with Powerwalls, with the Powerwall on your local network on a known IP address (ie reserved IP via dhcp), and your munin software also running on your local network

Get Open Weather Map API key (for cloud cover)

Install Powerwall2PVOutput

See https://github.com/ekul135/Powerwall2PVOutput for install details. You’ll need to copy the code to your Munin plugin directory (/usr/share/munin/plugins) and edit PW_Config.py to have your local powerwall user, password, and local IP address.  See this page for info.

If all goes well, you’ll get fun graphs to watch, like these:
