PyPowerwall stopped connecting about pypowerwall HOT 9 CLOSED

Thanks for the heads up. I did switch to controlling the powerwall with the FleetAPI. I wanted something that I knew would work after the ownerapi goes away.

Missing auth file .auth/.pypowerwall.auth

I do have a file present at this path. When I stop the service and remove it. Then restart it reappears so it seems like auth is working.

I forgot that I was going to experiment with setting the battery reserve and added this setting to my pypowerwall.env PW_CONTROL_SECRET=password.password.password. Removing it corrects the issue. Editing the Issue to relate this...

Thanks @KevM ! You identified an error when control mode is selected but the user has not set up "cloud mode". I added code to handle that and instruct the user to run cloud setup.

I know you mention that the auth file is set up. But for you to get that error means that it was not able to set up the cloud connection. Check your settings:

# check to ensure the cloud credentials are correct
docker exec -it pypowerwall python -m pypowerwall setup

Interesting I've never setup the cloud connection before. I have always been using local mode.

I believe I did use the cloud on my laptop and working with your Powerwall Dashboard project when loading historic data. Currently I am using pypowerwall via Docker for a personal project. How does pypowerwall behave differently between Local and Cloud modes?

from pypowerwall.

Local mode provides more data and better fidelity of the data (more samples). Cloud was set up originally to allow Solar-only users to get their power data and became important when the Powerwall 3 came out because it doesn't have a local API.

You should use local mode for pypowerwall setup if possible, I wouldn't recommend changing that. However, if you want to control your Powerwall, that is only available via cloud mode. If you run the cloud setup on pypowerwall (don't change it with setup.sh), it will operate in a hybrid mode of using local mode to get the Powerwall data but calling the cloud when you wish to make changes to the mode or reserve settings.

@KevM did you happen to use the process and code from https://github.com/jasonacox/pypowerwall/tree/main/tools/fleetapi ? The plan is to add this in to pypowerwall to replace the cloud mode functionality. The process is more intense than the oweners api. I would love to hear your experience or recommendations.

Thanks for your help! 🙏

Thanks @KevM ! I do appreciate the help and feedback. I'll close this as it is no longer an issue or relevant for you. Good luck with your app!
