ecowater-softener 1.1.0

A small package to pull data from Ecowater water softeners

Ecowater Softener

ecowater-softener is a Python library for collecting information from Ecowater water softeners.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install ecowater.

pip install ecowater-softener

Usage

from ecowater_softener import Ecowater

ecowaterDevice = Ecowater('username', 'password', 'serialnumber')

# returns 'all data other commands can get' as a dictionary
ecowaterDevice.getData()

# returns 'days until the device is out of salt' as an integer
ecowaterDevice.daysUntilOutOfSalt()

# returns 'date when device will run out of salt' as string object
ecowaterDevice.outOfSaltOn()

# returns 'the salt level' as an integer
ecowaterDevice.saltLevel()

# returns 'the salt level in percent' as an integer
ecowaterDevice.saltLevelPercent()

# returns 'the amount of water used today' as an integer
ecowaterDevice.waterUsageToday()

# returns 'the average amount of water used daily' as an integer
ecowaterDevice.waterUsageDailyAverage()

# returns 'the amount of water available' as an integer
ecowaterDevice.waterAvailable()

# returns 'the amount of water flow' as an integer
ecowaterDevice.waterFlow()

# returns 'the units for the water measurements' as a string
ecowaterDevice.waterUnits()

# returns 'true or false depending on whether recharge is enabled'
ecowaterDevice.rechargeEnabled()

# returns 'true or false depending on whether there is a recharge scheduled'
ecowaterDevice.rechargeScheduled()

# returns 'true or false depending on whether the device is online'
ecowaterDevice.deviceStatus()

Using ecowaterDevice.getData() is optimal as it only uses one request and returns all of the data as a dictionary.

E.g. {'daysUntilOutOfSalt': 421, 'outOfSaltOn': datetime.datetime(2025, 5, 5, 0, 0), 'saltLevel': 3, 'saltLevelPercent': 21, 'waterUsageToday': 50, 'waterUsageDailyAverage': 143, 'waterAvailable': 1332, 'waterFlow': 0, 'waterUnits': 'Liters', 'rechargeEnabled': True, 'rechargeScheduled': False, 'deviceStatus': True}
