Getting Started

Prerequisites

You will need the following. Please contact Energy Mutual Support if you do not have them already.

1. Certificate files
   • private.pem.key
   • certificate.pem.crt
   • CA.pem
2. Your client_id and topic

Python 3.9 or newer is required.

Installation

pip install em-data-ingester

or, with uv:

uv add em-data-ingester

Usage

All examples below assume the following:

• client_id of EM123456
• topic of MyTopicName
• All required key/certificate files in a certificates/ subdirectory

Creating an EMDataIngester and connecting

from em_data_ingester import EMDataIngester

ingester = EMDataIngester(
    client_id="EM123456",
    topic="MyTopicName",
    key_path="certificates/private.pem.key",
    cert_path="certificates/certificate.pem.crt",
    ca_path="certificates/CA.pem",
)

ingester.connect()

Adding attributes to the payload

from datetime import datetime, timezone

# Add a powerOutput reading (timestamp defaults to now, UTC)
ingester.add_to_payload("powerOutput", 123, units="kW")

# Or pass an explicit datetime
ingester.add_to_payload(
    "reservoirLevel",
    10,
    dt=datetime.now(timezone.utc),
    units="m",
)

Adding the same attribute name more than once will overwrite the previous value.

Sending the payload

ingester.send_payload()

This will clear the payload after a successful publish.

Clearing the payload

ingester.clear_payload()

Viewing the payload

print(ingester.payload)

Closing the connection (Important!)

ingester.end()

Context manager

EMDataIngester also works as a context manager, which connects on entry and closes the connection on exit:

with EMDataIngester(
    client_id="EM123456",
    topic="MyTopicName",
    key_path="certificates/private.pem.key",
    cert_path="certificates/certificate.pem.crt",
    ca_path="certificates/CA.pem",
) as ingester:
    ingester.add_to_payload("powerOutput", 123, units="kW")
    ingester.send_payload()
