8. Web API – Points de terminaison GET

Read-only endpoints for status, metrics, configuration, and device inventory. For control/write endpoints see Web API - POST.

8.1 Before You Start (v2.0)

These rules apply to the whole API.

• Base URL: http://192.168.4.1/api/ in AP mode, or http://<device-ip>/api/ in station mode (find the IP with /api/wifi/status or the wifi-status serial command).
• The UI is external. The device does not host the web app. GET / returns 302 to the configured external app (/api/web/config). The device is a headless JSON/MQTT API + redirect.
• CORS: Access-Control-Allow-Origin is the configured app URL when set, else *.
• Auth: compiled off this release — the bearer-token layer is disabled, so all write endpoints are open on the LAN and a token cannot be set (auth-token / POST /api/auth are no-ops). GET /api/auth/check always returns {"authenticated":true,"enforced":false}. (Auth returns in a later release.)
• Compile profiles gate the API. A build advertises what it supports in GET /api/info → features. On ESP32 everything is present; C2-HTTP has no MQTT/OTA; C2-MQTT is headless and exposes no /api/* routes at all. Gate your UI on features, never on the chip name.
• ESP32-C2 clients: keep one request in flight and poll at ~1–2 s.
• Field naming varies by endpoint — treat each endpoint's documented shape as authoritative. The same concept can appear under different names or types across endpoints; don't assume they match. Known cases:
• identifier — id in metrics/status; dimmer_id / relay_id in some action responses
• dimmer target — target (int) in live views vs target_level (float) in /api/status
• frequency — frequency (float) vs mains_frequency (int) in dimmer status
• power — power_w (live) vs nominal_power_w (config)
• type case — lowercase transport (i2c / espnow) in live views vs uppercase config type (NONE / I2C / ESPNOW / UNKNOWN)
• mode — a string (mode, e.g. auto) in /api/status, an int enum (router_mode, 0=OFF…6=GRID_LIMIT) in /api/config (see Router Modes)
• uptime is a deprecated alias of uptime_sec wherever it appears
• Missing/null fields: any field may be absent when not applicable, and any numeric field may be null when unavailable.

8.2 Status & Monitoring

GET /api/status

Complete router status — mode, control state, dimmer level, and control parameters.

curl http://192.168.4.1/api/status

{
  "mode": "auto", "state": "idle", "power_grid": 15.3,
  "dimmer": 45, "dimmer_count": 1, "target_level": 45.2,
  "control_gain": 200.0, "balance_threshold": 10.0, "valid": true,
  "uptime": 3600, "free_heap": 245000,
  "i2c_active": true, "adc_active": true, "dimmerlink_count": 2
}

• mode — off · auto · eco · offgrid · manual · boost · grid_limit
• state — idle · increasing · decreasing · at_max · at_min · error
• power_grid (W, + import / − export) · dimmer (0–100%) · valid (bool)
• uptime (s) · free_heap (bytes) · i2c_active (I2C/DimmerLink path)
• dimmer_count — enabled dimmer outputs (enabled && initialized)
• dimmerlink_count — DimmerLink modules that are enabled && online (present only when the DimmerLink manager is initialized)
• An adc_active field may appear for backward compatibility; it is vestigial and always false in v2.0 (on-device ADC was removed).

GET /api/metrics

Live power metrics — lightweight, suitable for frequent polling. In v2.0 this is the single source a dashboard needs (it carries voltage/current/frequency/PF and the dimmer/relay snapshots).

curl http://192.168.4.1/api/metrics

{
  "metrics": {
    "power_grid": 15.3, "power_solar": 480.0, "power_load": 1200.0,
    "voltage": 230.1, "current_grid": 0.07, "current_solar": 2.1, "current_load": 5.2,
    "frequency": 50.0, "power_factor": 0.99, "direction": "consuming"
  },
  "dimmers": [ { "id": 4, "type": "i2c", "name": "Heater 1", "level": 45, "target": 45, "enabled": true, "online": true, "transitioning": false } ],
  "relays": [ { "id": 0, "name": "Relay 1", "is_on": false, "enabled": true, "power_w": 1000 } ],
  "mode": "auto", "timestamp": 123456789
}

• metrics.direction — consuming (import) · supplying (export) · balanced (≈0)
• Any numeric metric may be null when unavailable.
• dimmers[] are DimmerLink outputs only (id 4+); legacy GPIO ids 0–3 are gone.

GET /api/config

All control/configuration parameters.

{
  "control_gain": 200.0, "balance_threshold": 10.0, "grid_current_limit": 16.0,
  "current_threshold": 1.0, "power_threshold": 5.0, "router_mode": 1, "manual_level": 0
}

• grid_current_limit (A) — the GRID_LIMIT cap · router_mode (int enum: 0=OFF…6=GRID_LIMIT)
• manual_level is read-only here — write it via POST /api/manual, not POST /api/config.

GET /api/info

Device identity and feature flags (drive UI gating from these).

{
  "version": "2.0.0", "chip": "ESP32-C2",
  "flash_size": 4194304, "free_heap": 245000, "uptime_sec": 3600,
  "features": { "http": true, "mqtt": false, "ota": false, "github_ota": false, "tls": false }
}

• features.http — REST server present (true whenever you can read this)
• features.mqtt — MQTT client compiled in (false on C2-HTTP)
• features.ota / features.github_ota — OTA subsystem / GitHub OTA (false on C2)
• features.tls — TLS available (false on C2)
• uptime is a deprecated alias of uptime_sec.

8.3 Sensing & Modules

GET /api/sensors

Unified read-only list of all active measurement sources (rbAmp over I2C + ESP-NOW nodes).

{ "sources": [
  { "source": "i2c", "id": "0x50", "role": "grid", "online": true,
    "voltage": 230.1, "current": 1.21, "power": 278.0, "power_factor": 0.99, "frequency": 50.0 }
] }

• source — i2c or espnow
• id — the I2C address (e.g. 0x51) for I2C, or the MAC for ESP-NOW
• role — grid | solar | load | voltage | none
• power/power_solar/power_load are signed (same convention as grid — the sign follows CT orientation). Unavailable numeric fields may be null. Empty sources when no modules are configured.

GET /api/modules

Transport-agnostic device registry — every discovered module and its assigned roles. This is the source of truth after discovery.

{ "modules": [
  { "transport": "i2c", "bus": 0, "addr": "0x51", "family": "rbAmp", "channels": 1,
    "online": true, "roles": ["grid"], "valid_roles": ["none","grid","solar","load","voltage"] }
], "scanning": false }

• family — one of rbAmp · rbDimmer · DimmerLink(legacy) · legacy-sensor · unknown. A current DimmerLink module reports DimmerLink(legacy) (the rbDimmer string is reserved for a future smart-dimmer and is not yet shipped).
• Also present: channels, names[], uid (chip serial).
• online: false — seen before but missing from the last scan (config is kept)
• valid_roles[] — the only roles allowed for this family; a UI must offer just these
• has_voltage is not in this response — it is only in GET /api/rbamp/modules.
• scanning — poll this after POST /api/modules/rescan; when false the list is fresh

GET /api/rbamp/ct-models

The SCT-013 CT-model catalog (firmware source of truth) for the per-module CT picker. Returns a bare JSON array:

{ "id": "sct013-030", "name": "SCT-013-030", "rated_a": 30, "code": 3, "available": true }

• Use the id (lowercase, e.g. sct013-030) as the selector key — not the display name. Entries with available: false (e.g. 60 A / 100 A) are not yet implemented — hide or disable them. Selectable: 5 / 10 / 20 / 30 / 50 A.

GET /api/rbamp/modules

Discovered rbAmp modules with live readings and persisted roles (gated by the rbAmp source feature).

{ "alive": 1,
  "modules": [ { "addr": "0x51", "role": "grid", "ct_model": "sct013-030", "channels": 1,
    "has_voltage": true, "online": true, "voltage": 230.1, "current": 1.21,
    "power": 278.0, "power_factor": 0.99, "frequency": 50.0 } ],
  "roles": [ { "addr": "0x51", "role": "grid" } ] }

• Per-module source of frequency and power_factor. null = unavailable.
• A grid module must be voltage-capable (has_voltage: true), so voltage/power are real (not null). A current-only module (e.g. a solar/load channel) has has_voltage: false with null voltage/power — but frequency is still reported (rbAmp reads mains frequency independently of the voltage channel).

8.4 Dimmers & Relays

GET /api/dimmers/status

Full per-dimmer config and state (DimmerLink outputs only).

{ "initialized": true, "enabled_count": 1, "mains_frequency": 50,
  "dimmers": [ { "id": 4, "type": "i2c", "addr": "0x50", "bus": 0, "name": "Heater 1",
    "enabled": true, "online": true, "power_w": 2000, "curve": 0,
    "level": 45, "target": 45, "initialized": true, "transitioning": false, "priority": 0 } ] }

• Output ids: I2C 4–11 (DIMMER_I2C_START=4), ESP-NOW 12+ (ESP-NOW is ESP32-tier). Level is driven by the router mode.
• mains_frequency is vestigial (always 0) — the on-device zero-cross was removed. Read the mains frequency from /api/metrics or /api/sensors (per module).

GET /api/relays/status

Per-relay config and state (functional ids 0–3; higher ids reserved, not implemented).

{ "relays": [ { "id": 0, "name": "Relay 1", "enabled": true, "type": "GPIO", "gpio": 15,
    "active_high": true, "power_w": 1000, "min_on": 0, "min_off": 0,
    "is_on": false, "initialized": true, "state": "off", "priority": 0 } ],
  "initialized": true, "enabled_count": 1, "on_count": 0, "total_power_w": 0 }

8.5 Hardware

GET /api/hardware/config

Current hardware configuration (only configured devices; NONE slots are skipped).

{
  "dimmers": [],
  "relays": [ { "id": 0, "type": "GPIO", "enabled": true, "name": "Relay 1", "gpio": 15,
    "active_high": true, "nominal_power_w": 1000, "current_sensor_id": -1, "current_sensor_a": null } ],
  "system": { "led_status_gpio": 17, "led_load_gpio": 5 }
}

• Only configured devices appear (a NONE/unset slot is skipped) — so the example relay is a configured GPIO relay. Functional relays are ids 0–3 (ids 4+ are reserved and not implemented).
• Dimmer type is one of NONE / I2C / ESPNOW / UNKNOWN — the v1.x GPIO dimmer type was removed. DimmerLink dimmers are configured by role assignment (Commissioning), not through this endpoint, so dimmers is typically empty here. Relays remain host-GPIO.
• led_status_gpio / led_load_gpio defaults (17 / 5) are ESP32-specific. On the ESP32-C2 those pins clash with the I2C SDA (GPIO5) and in-package flash — reassign the LED pins on a C2, or leave them unused.
• current_sensor_id — the rbAmp module I2C address (e.g. 80 = 0x50), or -1 for none.
• current_sensor_a — resolved live RMS current, or null if unassigned.
• The v1.x internal-ADC sensors[] block has been removed.

8.6 WiFi

GET /api/wifi/status

Connection status, IPs, and whether credentials are saved. The response is flat (not nested):

{
  "state": "connected",
  "ap_active": true, "ap_ssid": "ACRouter_A1B2", "ap_ip": "192.168.4.1", "ap_clients": 1,
  "sta_connected": true, "sta_ssid": "MyHomeNetwork", "sta_ip": "192.168.1.100",
  "rssi": -65, "has_saved_credentials": true, "mac": "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF", "hostname": "acrouter"
}

• rssi (dBm): −30…−50 excellent · −51…−70 good · −71…−85 fair · −86…−100 poor. There is one mac field (the device MAC), no per-interface channel or saved.ssid.

GET /api/wifi/scan

Scan for WiFi networks. Non-blocking — kicks a background scan and returns the cached results immediately with a scanning flag; poll until it is false.

{ "scanning": false,
  "networks": [ { "ssid": "MyHomeNetwork", "rssi": -45, "encryption": "WPA2", "channel": 6 } ],
  "count": 1 }

8.7 Integrations

GET /api/mqtt/status

{ "enabled": true, "connected": true, "state": 0, "broker": "mqtt://192.168.1.10",
  "device_id": "acrouter_xxxx", "uptime": 3600, "messages_published": 120, "messages_received": 8, "last_error": "" }

On C2-HTTP the route exists but MQTT is compiled out — treat features.mqtt=false as authoritative.

GET /api/mqtt/config

{ "enabled": true, "broker": "mqtt://192.168.1.10", "username": "user",
  "device_id": "acrouter_xxxx", "device_name": "ACRouter", "publish_interval": 5, "ha_discovery": true }

The password is never returned. publish_interval is in milliseconds (1000–60000).

GET /api/ntp/status

{ "running": true, "synced": true, "current_time": "2026-07-16 12:00:00", "last_sync_ago_sec": 120, "sync_interval_sec": 3600 }

current_time / last_sync_ago_sec appear only when synced.

GET /api/ntp/config

{ "ntp_server": "pool.ntp.org", "timezone": "UTC", "gmt_offset_sec": 0, "daylight_offset_sec": 0 }

GET /api/ota/check-github

Blocking check against GitHub Releases. Returns 200 when the build has OTA (features.ota = true) — branch on the body (success:false on a failed check). On builds without OTA (the C2) the whole /api/ota/* path is 404 (the route isn't registered). Gate on features.ota / features.github_ota.

{ "success": true, "update_available": true, "current_version": "2.0.0", "latest_version": "2.1.0",
  "release_name": "v2.1.0", "published_at": "…", "changelog": "…",
  "asset_name": "acrouter.bin", "asset_url": "https://…", "asset_size": 1048576, "is_prerelease": false }

8.8 System

GET /api/web/config

External web-app redirect/CORS target. { "app_url": "http://host:port", "open": true|false }.

GET /api/auth/check

Always { "authenticated": true, "enforced": false } — auth is compiled off this release, so write endpoints are open on the LAN and a token can't be set. (Auth returns in a later release.)

8.9 Advanced / Diagnostic (optional)

These are diagnostic or developer endpoints — not needed for normal use:

• GET /api/i2c/status — bus state, speed, DimmerLink counts.
• GET /api/i2c/scan — raw I2C address scan of bus 0 (503 if the bus is not initialized).
• GET /api/sensors/hub — Sensor-Hub merge slots (voltage/grid/solar/load) with source & priority.
• GET /api/dimmerlink/devices, GET /api/dimmerlink/{slot}/status — low-level DimmerLink registry (by slot 0–7) and per-device current/voltage/thermal telemetry.
• GET /api/espnow/nodes — ESP-NOW measurement nodes (by MAC).
• GET /api/espnow/outputs — ESP-NOW output nodes (dimmer/relay, by MAC). ESP-NOW is ESP32-tier.

8.10 Removed in v2.0

The following v1.x reads no longer exist (the ADC pipeline was removed and sensing moved to smart modules): /api/hardware/sensor-profiles, /api/hardware/sensor-types, /api/hardware/voltage-drivers, /api/hardware/current-drivers, and the internal-ADC sensors[] block in /api/hardware/config. Use /api/sensors, /api/modules, and /api/rbamp/modules instead.

Response envelope: reads return their JSON at 200. Errors use {"error":"<text>"} (some legacy sections show {"status":"error","message":"…"}) — treat the presence of error as authoritative.

⚠️ A few control actions also answer on GET (legacy convenience) — e.g. GET /api/system/reboot and the relay/dimmer on/off routes. Because auth is compiled off this release, treat these as live: keep the device off untrusted networks, and don't let a browser link-prefetcher or crawler hit those URLs. POST is the canonical, documented method for every mutating call.
