driveeClient 0.1.1

Python client library for automation and control of an EV Wallbox charger via local API or cloud endpoints

Drivee Client

A Python client library for automation and control of EV Wallbox chargers via the Drivee cloud API.

Installation

pip install drivee-client

Quick Start

import asyncio
from drivee_client import DriveeClient

async def main():
    async with DriveeClient("username", "password") as client:
        await client.init()
        
        # Get charge point info
        charge_point = await client.get_charge_point()
        print(f"Charge point: {charge_point.name}")
        print(f"Status: {charge_point.evse.status}")
        
        # Start charging
        response = await client.start_charging()
        print(f"Started session: {response.session.id}")
        
        # Get charging history
        history = await client.get_charging_history()
        for session in history.sessions:
            print(f"Session {session.id}: {session.energy/1000:.2f}kWh")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Features

• Async/await support - Built with aiohttp for non-blocking I/O
• Type-safe - Full type hints with Pydantic models
• Error handling - Comprehensive error handling with custom exceptions
• Rate limiting - Built-in retry logic with exponential backoff
• Clean architecture - Separation of DTOs and business models
• Domain validation - Business rule validation in model layer

Architecture

The client library follows a clear separation of concerns with three main layers:

Data Transfer Objects (DTOs)

Located in dtos/, these are pure data classes that:

• Match the exact structure of API responses
• Use Pydantic for validation and serialization
• Have no business logic
• Follow naming convention: All DTO classes end with 'DTO' suffix
• Are only used within the model layer

Business Models

Located in models/, these classes:

• Encapsulate DTOs and provide business logic
• Expose only business-relevant properties and methods
• Use Protocol-based typing for DTO interfaces
• Handle all business rules and validations
• Are the only classes exposed to the Home Assistant integration

API Client

The drivee_client.py handles:

• REST API communication
• Authentication
• Request/response mapping to DTOs
• Error handling and retries

Installation

1. Copy the custom_components/drivee folder to your Home Assistant's custom_components directory.
2. Restart Home Assistant.

Configuration

1. Go to Home Assistant's Settings > Devices & Services
2. Click "Add Integration"
3. Search for "Drivee"
4. Enter your Drivee API base URL
5. (Optional) Enter your API key if required

Usage

After configuration, you can control your Drivee device through Home Assistant's interface. The integration will create a switch entity that you can use to control your device.

Development

To develop or modify this integration:

1. Clone this repository

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Make your changes
