Get list of devices
- /{profileId}.json
- profileId comes down in the initial html response
- ex: {"dvcs":[{"s":"000101000004","n":"Pika PVLink ","st":8208,"t":"PV Module","p":614,"et":272466}, ... ]}
Get power (watts) per time period
- /power/{deviceId}/{endTimeLocalTzSecs}/{lookbackRangeSecs}.json
  - endTimeLocalTzSecs can be special value now
  - lookbackRangeSecs can be special value all
    - I'm unsure how far back all goes
- Period is 3600s (1hr) unless lookbackRangeSecs is less than 36hr then period is 60s (1m) (assuming based on JS code)
- ex: TODO
Get energy (used/stored/created?) in (watt hours?) per time period
- /charge/{deviceId}/{endTimeLocalTzSecs}/{lookbackRangeSecs}.json
  - endTimeLocalTzSecs can be special value now
  - lookbackRangeSecs can be special value all
    - I'm unsure how far back all goes
- Period is 3600s (1hr), doesn't appear to provide high-resolution view even with short lookbackRangeSecs
- ex: TODO
Get battery charge (watt hours) per time period
- /charge/{deviceId}/{endTimeLocalTzSecs}/{lookbackRangeSecs}.json
  - endTimeLocalTzSecs can be special value now
  - lookbackRangeSecs can be special value all
    - I'm unsure how far back all goes
- Only valid for battery device
- Period is 3600s (1hr) unless lookbackRangeSecs is less than 36hr then period is 60s (1m) (assuming based on JS code)
- ex: TODO
