E3/DC client for python.
Project description
python-e3dc
NOTE: With Release 0.6.0 at least Python 3.7 is required
Python API for querying an E3/DC systems
This is supported either directly via RSCP connection or through the manufacturer's portal. The RSCP implementation has currently the most capabilities.
In order to use it you need:
- Your user name
- Your password
- The IP address of the E3/DC system
- The RSCP Password (encryption key), as set on the device under Main Page -> Personalize -> User profile -> RSCP password
Alternatively, for a web connection, you need:
- Your user name
- Your password
- The serial number of the system, which can be found when logging into the E3/DC webpage.
Installation
This package can be installed from pip:
pip install pye3dc
Local Connection
Configuration
There is a great variety of E3/DC implementation configurations, that can't automatically be detected. For example the index
of the root power meter can be either 0
or 6
, depending how the system was installed. It is also possible to not only have one power meter or inverter.
This library assumes, that there is one inverter installed and the root power meter has an index of 6
for S10 mini and 0
for other systems.
For any other configurations, there is an optional configuration
object that can be used to alter the defaults:
{
"pvis": [
{
"index": 0,
"strings": 2,
"phases": 3
}
],
"powermeters": [
{
"index": 6
}
],
"batteries": [
{
"index": 0,
"dcbs": 2
}
]
}
Note: Not all options need to be configured.
Usage
An example script using the library is the following:
from e3dc import E3DC
TCP_IP = '192.168.1.57'
USERNAME = 'test@test.com'
PASS = 'MySecurePassword'
KEY = 'abc123'
CONFIG = {}
# CONFIG = {"powermeters": [{"index": 6}]}
print("local connection")
e3dc = E3DC(E3DC.CONNECT_LOCAL, username=USERNAME, password=PASS, ipAddress = TCP_IP, key = KEY, configuration = CONFIG)
# The following connections are performed through the RSCP interface
print(e3dc.poll())
print(e3dc.get_pvi_data())
poll() return values
Poll returns a dictionary like the following:
{
'autarky': 100,
'consumption': {
'battery': 470,
'house': 477,
'wallbox': 0
},
'production': {
'solar' : 951,
'add' : 0,
'grid' : -4
},
'stateOfCharge': 77,
'selfConsumption': 100,
'time': datetime.datetime(2021, 8, 14, 7, 6, 13)
}
Available methods
poll()
get_system_info()
get_system_status()
poll_switches()
get_idle_periods()
set_idle_periods()
get_db_data()
get_battery_data()
get_batteries_data()
get_pvi_data()
get_pvis_data()
get_powermeter_data()
get_powermeters_data()
get_power_settings()
set_power_limits()
set_powersave()
set_weather_regulated_charge()
A documentation for these methods is not yet generated. Please have a look at the docstrings in
_e3dc.py
for details.
Note: The RSCP interface
The communication to an E3/DC system has to be implemented via a rather complicated protocol, called by E3/DC RSCP. This protocol is binary and based on websockets. The documentation provided by E3/DC is limited and outdated. It can be found in the E3/DC download portal.
If keepAlive is false, the websocket connection is closed after the command. This makes sense because these requests are not meant to be made as often as the status requests, however, if keepAlive is True, the connection is left open and kept alive in the background in a separate thread.
Web connection
Usage
An example script using the library is the following:
from e3dc import E3DC
TCP_IP = '192.168.1.57'
USERNAME = 'test@test.com'
PASS = 'MySecurePassword'
SERIALNUMBER = '1234567890'
print("web connection")
e3dc = E3DC(E3DC.CONNECT_WEB, username=USERNAME, password=PASS, serialNumber = SERIALNUMBER, isPasswordMd5=False)
# connect to the portal and poll the status. This might raise an exception in case of failed login. This operation is performed with Ajax
print(e3dc.poll())
# Poll the status of the switches using a remote RSCP connection via websockets
# return value is in the format {'id': switchID, 'type': switchType, 'name': switchName, 'status': switchStatus}
print(e3dc.poll_switches())
Known limitations
One limitation of the package concerns the implemented RSCP methods. This project also lacks the hardware to test different configurations. However, the RSCP protocol is fully implemented and it should be easy to extend the requests to other usecases.
Projects using this library
- e3dc-rest: a simple REST API to access an E3/DC system
- e3dc-to-mqtt: publish E3/DC data via MQTT
