Overview

This node interacts with the PrimaPower API to retrieve information about parameters. It supports operations to get detailed parameter data or just the parameter's value by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to integrate PrimaPower system data into your workflows, such as monitoring equipment status, fetching configuration parameters, or automating responses based on parameter values.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Fetch a specific parameter's full details for logging or analysis.
  • Retrieve only the current value of a parameter to trigger alerts or update dashboards.

Properties

Name Meaning
Operation The action to perform. Options: "Get Parameter" (fetch full parameter details), "Get Parameter Value" (fetch only the parameter's value), "Get EPEX Prices" (fetch today's EPEX prices).
Parameter ID The numeric identifier of the parameter to retrieve. Required for "Get Parameter" and "Get Parameter Value" operations.

Output

The node outputs JSON data corresponding to the requested parameter information:

  • For Get Parameter operation: The output contains the full details of the specified parameter as returned by the PrimaPower API.
  • For Get Parameter Value operation: The output contains only the current value of the specified parameter.
  • For Get EPEX Prices operation: The output contains today's EPEX price data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the PrimaPower API.
  • Needs an API authentication token configured in the node credentials.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://prima-power.nl.
  • Requests have a timeout of 5 seconds and expect JSON responses.

Troubleshooting

  • Timeouts or no response: Ensure network connectivity to https://prima-power.nl and that the API service is operational.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or authentication token is correctly set up in the node credentials.
  • Invalid Parameter ID: Confirm that the provided Parameter ID exists in the PrimaPower system; otherwise, the API may return an error or empty result.
  • Unexpected response format: Check if the PrimaPower API has changed its response structure or if there are temporary issues on their side.
