It abstracts the Growatt API into a usable interface, supporting both the legacy password-based authentication method and the newer official V1 token-based API. The library depends only on requests for HTTP communication.\n\nThe package is designed for reading PV system data\u2014status, performance metrics, and configuration\u2014from Growatt servers. It also exposes configuration modification functions, though the maintainers emphasize that only settings functions alter system state; all other operations are read-only. The library is actively maintained and includes examples for both API variants, with V1 API recommended for new projects due to better security and relaxed rate limits.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own or manage Growatt inverters and need programmatic access to their data. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, uses a permissive license, and carries no known vulnerabilities. The main caveat is that configuration modification functions carry real operational risk\u2014use only if you understand the consequences\u2014and V1 API support is currently limited to MIN and SPH device types."},"id":"growattserver","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/growattserver","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/growattserver.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/growattserver/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"growattServer","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A package to talk to growatt server"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":90556,"position":13578,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.0"}
