Panel level layout in new firmware.

[smcneece]

Is there a way to access panel layout data (coordinates, azimuth, slope) in new firmware builds?

Background

Old firmware (BUILD < 61840):

• Panel layout available via /cgi-bin/dl_cgi/panels/layout
• No authentication required
• Returns JSON with panel coordinates, inverter serials, azimuth, slope data

New firmware (BUILD >= 61840):

• Old endpoint returns 403 Unauthorized even with valid session cookie
• Can't find layout data in varserver variables (/vars?match=layout returns bad request)
• pypvs library doesn't include a panel layout method

Use Case

Panel layout data would enable visual panel mapping features in Home Assistant integrations, showing:

• Physical panel placement on roof
• Per-panel production overlaid on layout
• Shading analysis and troubleshooting

Question for pypvs maintainers

1. Was the panel layout endpoint intentionally removed in new firmware?
2. Is there a new varserver endpoint or variable path for accessing this data?
3. If not available, is this something that could be added to a future firmware release?

Example Old Format

{
  "result": {
    "panels": [
      {
        "slope": 18,
        "xCoordinate": 108,
        "yCoordinate": 562,
        "planeRotation": 0,
        "inverterSerialNumber": "E00122137058207",
        "azimuth": 180,
        "metadata": {}
      }
    ]
  },
  "success": "true"
}

Thanks for any guidance on accessing this data in new firmware builds!

Currently, accessing panel layout data is not supported. The previous unofficial interface relied on internal methods that are not publicly available at this time. The most up-to-date list of supported APIs can be found in the documentation
directory of the repository.

We will keep this request in consideration as a potential future enhancement for the PVS firmware and the pypvs library.

Okay cool, I would love to see this made available again.
