Hi, i used your code here https://github.com/Hobbyflyer/senec_monitoring?fbclid=IwAR0M8O4uSQU_D8rc3BlnNGvXKUCEnsg35lNrw3gdwCu6ia0L5uuLQLbgMEM
Hope it ok...

Yes of course :)

Hope it works well for you!

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks a lot for your work. I have a question though:
Is it intended to create JSON output? If so, JSON Lint at https://jsonlint.com/ qualified output as "invalid" as according to JSON syntax (https://www.json.org/json-en.html) keys must be enclosed in double instead of single quotes.

Importing json at the beginning

import json

and replacing the end of script

if __name__ == "__main__":
    api = Senec("THE_IP_ADDRESS")
    s = json.dumps( api.get_values() )
    print (s)

created valid JSON according to above linter. If desired, your code certainly might offer better ways of mentioned transformation.

What do you think?

Greetings,
Jörg

Hi Jörg,

sorry for the late answer.

The __main__ part of the file is just for demonstration purposes. I assume this file to be used within other projects where you would just instantiate Senec and use get_values() to further process the data. In such a case a Python dict is the right thing to return.

Greetings,
Nico

Hi Nico,

thanks for your feedback - I totally agree!

Used your code for smart charger integration script. Thanks for the useful library! (New to Python, literally just coded everything with the help of ChatGPT over the last day :P)

With the latest update (REVISION MCU: 3825; REVISION MCU-BL: 2307; REVISION NPU-REGS: 10; REVISION NPU-IMAGE: 2307; REVISION GUI: 2966) a few things seem to have happened:

  1. the access to http was switched off, only https works --> line 33 should be changed to:
    self.read_api = f"https://{device_ip}/lala.cgi"
  2. the ssl certificate is not verifiable --> I hope SENEC fixes this. for now as a work around line 38 can be changed to:
    response = requests.post(self.read_api, json=request_json, verify=False)
  3. I noticed that all "'STATISTIC': " Objects are no longer available

Hi, it appears that some other projects that read SENEC's data has managed to find a workaround for the changes in SENEC's firmware that now mandates https.

Example here: https://github.com/evcc-io/evcc/blob/8351a4471f74d8811e4bdb02e75c5a7b6d0ff8bb/templates/definition/meter/senec-home.yaml#L2

Would be wonderful if this amazing library can be updated to incorporate this fix too.

Thx @phorbi and @changyang1230

Did a little patch release to make this work again. Now uses HTTPS to connect to Senec appliance and ignores STATISTICS values.

Thank you so so much!
