EZMonitor

Description

EZMonitor is a lightweight KDE Plasma 6 widget that displays real-time data from your solar inverter.

Developed for the APsystems EZ1 microinverter series, it connects to the local JSON API provided by the device and shows:

• Live panel power (in Watts)
• Daily yield (in kWh)
• Updates every 10 seconds

No cloud service, no third-party backend – all data stays local.

Features

• Built with pure QML – no C++ or Python dependencies
• Compatible with Plasma 6
• Uses standard HTTP API (see: APsystems EZ1 API Manual)
• Clean UI for live monitoring

Visuals

Install

Easiest: "Get New Widgets" in System Settings, or grab the .plasmoid from the latest release and:

kpackagetool6 --type Plasma/Applet --install ezmonitor-*.plasmoid

Also available as a proper package, if you'd rather have zypper/apt manage updates:

# openSUSE Tumbleweed
sudo zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Agundur/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:Agundur.repo
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys ref
sudo zypper in ezmonitor

# Debian/Ubuntu — grab the .deb from the latest release above

Or straight from source, no build step needed:

git clone https://github.com/Agundur-KDE/EZMonitor.git
kpackagetool6 --type Plasma/Applet --install EZMonitor/package/

Usage

Enable the local API of your APsystems EZ1-M, then add the plasmoid to your desktop and enjoy.
