requests can do anything.
Thanks for the link to the relevant part of the thread. I’ll have a read.
Right I think I’m caught up now.
I think there’s no point in trying to verify the server certificate, although it is possible. It’s just too much hassle for users to set up and it is fragile. tesla-powerwall · PyPI doesn’t bother, for example.
Given that, the safest solution is to just do this:
reply = requests.get(self._settings['url'], timeout=int(self._settings['readinterval']), verify=False)

I have done as you’ve suggested (but didn’t delete newer file - just renamed it)
After a emonhub.service restart, the log file shows the following …

I’ll try @TrystanLea’s suggestion - Its PROTOCOL_TLS rather than SSL … hopefully that will work
@bwduncan has suggested a line - reply = requests.get~~~~
Where do I put that?
Thx
line 38.
I added verify=False at the end of the line respecting commas, brackets & spaces.
It is now all working 
… many thx to you both
I have successfully set up Log to Feed and can see a graph.
The data is also successfully being sent to watchman and I’ve set up Log to Feed & a graph there too.
NEXT STEPS …
The key things to know about a battery are …
Level of Charge - and we now have that albeit as a percentage
Discharge/Charge power at points in time … this is the next challenge
Do you have any thoughts on this?
Glad it’s working. I’ll make a pull request to make the change upstream, however
There is more that the powerwall can tell us beyond state of charge. I suspect the best way to get all this data is to use the powerwall python module someone else has already written. Once we have an easy way to get the power at the various interfaces we can do wonderful things!
I’ll see if I can hammer something together tomorrow…

There’s an awful lot of daemon.log - how can I reduce its size?
/var/log full (search on that or on truncate for the solution).
Are you running an up to date version of emoncms?
I’m running the latest 10.2.3
I had the file ownership issue
You are correct in yr suggestion …
I think this will fix that issue
sudo chown root:pi /opt/openenergymonitor/EmonScripts/defaults/etc/logrotate.d/*
I did indeed fix it - thx
My other 10.2.3’s seem to be getting very full too.
Thanks @borpin @johnbanks, looks like our pervious fix of just changing the file ownership did not work. I’ve switched to calling the command you copied above @borpin, see:
This is in stable tag 1.0.8-beta & release
1 Like
To be absolutely clear - this is what I did … per @borpin’s suggestions …
sudo chown root:pi /opt/openenergymonitor/EmonScripts/defaults/etc/logrotate.d/*
Then …
sudo /usr/sbin/logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.conf
After which I could see a reasonable amount of available space in /var/log
Sorry for any confusion
@TrystanLea can you sort out emonhub too please? A whole load of PRs (not just for the Tesla) that are now starting to get really confused.
Yes please. It will get it working until there is time to get the rest of the API being collected.

I have made some small progress in obtaining PowerWall data.
If you substitute the following url in the EmonHubTeslaPowerWallInterfacer in emonhub.conf
url = http:// IP of PowerWall /api/meters/aggregates
… then a whole bunch of data becomes available.
The data is only available as part of an error log but at least it’s data in the Emon eco system.
To get the following log data, I commented out lines 54, 55 & 56 in EmonHubTeslaPowerWallInterfacer.py that Check if battery percentage key is in data object … which it isn’t in this url call.
Here’s the relevant bit of the log – pls ignore refs to watchman.

Errors are reported in lines 32 & 99 in emonhub_interfacer.py and line 62 in EmonHubTeslaPowerWallInterfacer.py.
It’s way beyond my skill level to fix those errors so any help would be most welcome.
For me and most other PowerWall users I suspect, the key info is in the “battery” section namely – instant_power, energy_exported & energy_imported.
The percentage level of charge is also important. That requires a call to url = http:// IP of PowerWall /api/system_status/soe … per the current working EmonHubTeslaPowerWallInterfacer.
This begs the question – is it possible to have two url calls within one Interfacer?
TIA for any help/suggestions
That’s a decent chunk of instantaneous data! I’m surprised that you say you are really only interested in the battery power (presumably the energy imported/exported can be integrated by emoncms or something later). I guess you have other things monitoring your grid and solar flows?
Yes, in fact we don’t even need to specify the entire URL in the config. We know the endpoints which have the data we’re interested in. We just need the hostname (or the IP address) to be specified in the conf file.
To get the data you want out of that data blob, do something like this: (set the url to “https://192.168.1.100/”)
aggregates = requests.get(self._settings['url'] + '/api/meters/aggregates', timeout=10, verify=False).json()
c = Cargo.new_cargo(names=['battery_instant_power'], realdata=[aggregates['battery']['instant_power'])
If that and the battery percentage are all you need then it can be done quite simply. Let me know if the above works for you.
