A python library to retrieve energy statistics from your Alpha ESS inverter by polling the Alpha ESS web API.
This Python library logs in to cloud.alphaess.com and retrieves data on your Alpha ESS inverter, photovoltaic panels, and battery if you have one.
Create a new Alpha ESS instance, log in, retrieve a list of Alpha ESS systems and request energy statistics of one of those Alpha ESS systems.
Currently this package uses an API that I reverse engineered the API from the Alpha ESS web app. This is an internal API subject to change at any time by Alpha ESS.
As of AlphaCloud V5.0.0.2 (2022-10-16) Alpha ESS introduced anti-crawl efforts to make retrieving data more difficult for packages like this one.
To be good internet citizens, it is advised that your polling frequency for any AlphaCloud endpoints are 10 seconds at a minimum.
There are four public methods in this module
authenticate(username, password) - attempts to authenticate to the ALpha ESS API with a username and password combination, returns True or False depending on successful authentication or not
getdata() - having successfully authenticated attempts to get statistical energy data on all registered Alpha ESS systems - will return None if there are issues retrieving data from the Alpha ESS API.
setbatterycharge(serial, enabled, cp1start, cp1end, cp2start, cp2end, chargestopsoc) - having successfully authenticated set battery grid charging settings for the SN.
setbatterydischarge(serial, enabled, dp1start, dp1end, dp2start, dp2end, dischargecutoffsoc) - having successfully authenticated set battery discharge settings for the SN.
