API for local data logger/stats

I'm integrating with the cloud API via foxxesscloud but was wondering if there is any way to make API calls to the local hardware via the wifi connection, i.e. not use foxesscloud at all or only as a backup?
I'm asking this because I'm always keen to keep IoT related traffic local where possible and was thinking that the data is at least present on the logger for a period of time that could be queried...

Don't think so, people seem to use modbus to do that.
Quick search brought this up, not sure how relevant it is to your inverter as I think the plug pin outs change for each model. Couldn't find a link for that again though.
