Add Data Logger Timestamp Sensor to Solis Cloud
Problem
When monitoring the Solis Cloud integration, there was no way to tell how fresh the data being displayed actually was. The Solis datalogger only reports to SolisCloud periodically (typically every ~5 minutes), and API throttling or datalogger connectivity issues can cause the data to become stale. Without visibility into the data's age, it's difficult to distinguish between genuinely stable readings and stale/outdated values. In addition, a successful poll by predbat may still retreive stale data from SolisCloud if your datalogger hasn't been able to post its data to SolisCloud.
Changes
publish_entities()insolis.py:sensor.{prefix}_solis_{sn}_data_timestamp— the timestamp when the datalogger last reported data to SolisCloud, exposed as a HAtimestampdevice class entity.dataTimestampfield from the API is provided as epoch milliseconds and is converted to an ISO 8601 datetime string.Data Source
This value comes from the
dataTimestampfield in the SolisinverterDetailAPI response (already polled byfetch_inverter_details()), so no additional API calls are needed. This is the same field used by the solis-sensor integration to track data freshness.Screenshot
Here's a screenshot of using the entity in a header badge:
