Tesla Powerwall 3 Integration using PyPowerwall Proxy & HTTP Binding

[glen_m]

For those interested, I have now created a separate topic using pypowerwall-server and MQTT binding (as opposed to pypowerwall proxy and HTTP binding as used in this thread).

Tesla Powerwall 3 Integration using pypowerwall-server & MQTT Binding

This is a new thread to cover the setup of the Tesla Powerwall 3 integration using pypowerwall-server and MQTT. The pypowerwall-server has recently become available, and is probably an easier way to integrate a Powerwall 3 with OpenHAB, vs. using pypowerwall-proxy and the HTTP binding. See my previous thread for details on the latter: Tesla Powerwall 3 Integration using PyPowerwall Proxy & HTTP Binding Remember, whilst the above also supports older versions such as the Powerwall 2, you still h…

If you are thinking of moving to this method, but already setup the HTTP approach, its pretty easy:

• Disable/Remove pypowerwall-proxy docker container
• Skip the instructions for the network setup - It’s identical for both approaches, so you should have everything you need already.
• Follow the instructions to setup the pypowerwall-server container, in the above thread
• Your existing HTTP binding integrations will then continue to work, with the exception of:
  • ‘soe’ which needs to be replaced with /pw/level for the battery level to display correctly
  • There may be others, but this is the only one I spotted that stopped working
• You can configure the MQTT channels at your leisure, and relink your existing items to these channels from the HTTP ones.
• As most things are sent to MQTT as scalar values, you can ditch the transforms that were required for the HTTP integration approach
