unofficial-pecron-api 0.2.0

Unofficial Python API client for Pecron portable power stations

unofficial-pecron-api

Unofficial Python API client for Pecron portable power stations. Query battery level, power input/output, switch states, and more from the Pecron cloud.

Disclaimer: This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Pecron. It was reverse-engineered from the Pecron Android app for personal and home-automation use. Use at your own risk.

Features

• Authenticate with the Pecron/Quectel cloud API (US, EU, CN regions)
• List all devices on your account
• Read live device properties: battery %, input/output wattage, AC/DC switches, UPS mode, charge/discharge time estimates, and more
• Control device outputs: turn AC and DC outputs on/off via the cloud API
• Discover device capabilities: query the TSL (Thing Specification Language) model to find all available properties and which are controllable
• CLI tool with human-readable and JSON output modes
• Clean Python API for integration into other projects (e.g. Home Assistant)

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• uv (recommended) or pip
• A Pecron account with at least one device bound

Installation

With pip (recommended)

pip install unofficial-pecron-api

With uv

uv pip install unofficial-pecron-api

From source (development)

git clone https://github.com/jsightler/unofficial-pecron-api.git
cd unofficial-pecron-api
uv sync

CLI Usage

The CLI is available as pecron after installation. With uv, prefix commands with uv run:

List devices

uv run pecron devices

Show device status

# All devices
uv run pecron status

# A specific device (substring match on name)
uv run pecron status --device E300LFP

Example output:

  E300LFP_D469 (E300LFP) [Online]
    Firmware:       WIFI01R13A01_OCPU_QTH_MCU_1.0.3
    Battery:        [||||||||||||||||||||] 98%
    Input Power:    2 W
    Output Power:   145 W
    Switches:       AC=ON, DC=OFF, UPS=ON
    Time to Empty:  1h 58m
    AC Output:      145 W @ 124 V / 60 Hz
    AC Input:       2 W

JSON output

Every command supports --json for machine-readable output:

uv run pecron status --json
uv run pecron devices --json

Control device outputs

Turn AC or DC outputs on and off:

# Turn AC output on
uv run pecron set --ac on

# Turn DC output off for a specific device
uv run pecron set --dc off --device E300LFP

# Turn both AC and DC on at once
uv run pecron set --ac on --dc on

# Set an arbitrary property by TSL resource code
uv run pecron set --property ac_switch_hm --value true

Discover device properties

Use the tsl command to see what properties your device supports:

# Show all properties
uv run pecron tsl

# Show only writable (controllable) properties
uv run pecron tsl --writable

Example output:

  E300LFP_D469 (E300LFP) - 2 writable properties:

    Code                           Name                 Type     Access
    ------------------------------ -------------------- -------- ------
    ac_switch_hm                   Ac switch            BOOL     RW
    dc_switch_hm                   Dc switch            BOOL     RW

Dump raw API response

For debugging or discovering new fields:

uv run pecron raw
uv run pecron raw --device E300LFP

Authentication options

Credentials can be provided three ways (in order of precedence):

1. Command-line flags:

   uv run pecron status --email [e-mail] --password secret --region US
   

2. Environment variables:

   export PECRON_EMAIL="[e-mail]"
   export PECRON_PASSWORD="secret"
   export PECRON_REGION="US"
   uv run pecron status
   

3. Interactive prompt (default if not provided above)

All CLI options

usage: pecron [-h] [-r {CN,EU,US}] [-e EMAIL] [-p PASSWORD] [-d NAME]
              [--json] [-v] [--version]
              {devices,status,set,tsl,raw} ...

Options:
  -r, --region {CN,EU,US}   Cloud region (default: US)
  -e, --email EMAIL          Account email
  -p, --password PASSWORD    Account password
  -d, --device NAME          Filter by device name (substring match)
  --json                     Output as JSON
  -v, --verbose              Increase verbosity (-v info, -vv debug)
  --version                  Show version

Commands:
  devices    List all devices on the account
  status     Show device properties (battery, power, switches)
  set        Control device outputs (--ac on/off, --dc on/off)
  tsl        Show device property definitions (--writable for controllable only)
  raw        Dump raw business attributes as JSON
