Automatic Installation

  1. Install HACS
  2. Within HA go to HACS > Integrations > ... (in top right corner) > Custom Repositories
  3. Add URL: https://github.com/mindmelting/hass-powerpal, Category: Integration
  4. Go to the integrations page inside your home assistant install
  5. Search for Powerpal
  6. Install, enter your Powerpal API Authorization Key and Powerpal Device ID.

Manual Installation

  1. Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).
  2. If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
  3. In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called powerpal.
  4. Download all the files from the custom_components/powerpal/ directory (folder) in this repository.
  5. Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
  6. Restart Home Assistant
  7. In the HA UI go to "Configuration" -> "Integrations" click "+" and search for Powerpal

Using your HA configuration directory (folder) as a starting point you should now also have this:

custom_components/powerpal/translations/en.json
custom_components/powerpal/__init__.py
custom_components/powerpal/config_flow.py
custom_components/powerpal/const.py
custom_components/powerpal/manifest.json
custom_components/powerpal/sensor.py

Configuration is done in the UI

  • add python script to retrieve apikey over BLE

    add python script to retrieve apikey over BLE

    After reverse engineering the Powerpal BLE comms I didn't think to bother with any of the REST API because that had been covered pretty well by a couple of other github projects.

    But on coming back to it I realised that there was one step that is still a bit of a pain and mystery, retrieving the apikey! (though I believe now you can maybe apply for it, this is probably still more convenient)

    The Apikey is actually stored locally on the Powerpal, behind the 'UUID' (59DA0009-12F4-25A6-7D4F-55961DCE4205) characteristic.

    This is a super simple python script to retrieve it, and only requires the Powerpal MAC address (can easily be found by scanning for bluetooth devices), and the pairing code given to you with your Powerpal (can also be found within the Powerpal Application)

    I don't currently have access to a Powerpal to test this on, so would really appreciate if you could give it a go and let me know if it works (it's also possible the data that comes back might need to have it's bytes reversed)

    Can run by adding your mac and pairing key as arguments, or by changing them in the script: python3 utils/retrieve_api_key.py "12:34:56:78:90:AB" 123123

  • Consumption chart seems to be linked to time of sync, not time of usage

    Consumption chart seems to be linked to time of sync, not time of usage

    Version of the custom_component

    f7e8b30

    Describe the bug

    The Total Consumption chart seems to be calculated based on the time of syncing the data, not the actual time of usage. This shows it fairly clearly: image

    Compare with actual usage per hour from Powerpal app: image

    Is this a bug or a limitation of the API?

  • Any way to add data from powerpal server prior to the integration installation?

    Any way to add data from powerpal server prior to the integration installation?

    Hi There,

    Thanks so much for this integration.

    Is there a way to load pervious data to HA, prior to having installed the component?

    Obviously I can download the CSV file, but how do Add it to the newly recorded data in HA?

    Thanks in advance

  • Advice on integration - App and HA totals are out by 1kWh

    Advice on integration - App and HA totals are out by 1kWh

    Hi,

    Firstly thanks for creating this integration, I have been able to get it working within my setup which is great. I am however wanting some advice on how often it communications with 'readings' as it doesn't seem to be 'live' and the total power consumption is out by nearly 1kWh (compared with the app)

    Is there anything I am missed or need to adjust? or is this expected as it's not providing accurate real time data?
