pyglowmarkt

Introduction

Python API to the Bright/Glowmarkt/Hildebrand API for energy consumption. There is a python API and a command-line script.

For instructions on use with Home Assistant, see https://github.com/danmed/Glow2MQTT

Install

pip3 install pyglowmarkt

API example usage

Connect

You need an account from https://glowmarkt.com/

from glowmarkt import *

cli = BrightClient("myusername@example.org", "MyP4ssword!")

Discover virtual entities and resources

A virtual entity is e.g. your Glowmarkt device or SMETS2 smart meter. A virtual entity has multiple resource e.g.

  • Electricity consumption
  • Electricity cost
  • Gas consumption
  • Gas cost
ents = cli.get_virtual_entities()

for ent in ents:
    print("Entity:", ent.name)
    for res in ent.get_resources():
        print("  %s:" % res.name)

Meter readings over a period of time

Assuming we've got a resource from the discovery above...

get_readings returns a list. Each element of the list is a [timestamp, value] pair which will be a KWH or Pence object. Use value.value to fetch the floating point value, or str(value) to represent as a string with the kWh/pence unit.


# Get time now, and 4 hours ago, this is the reading window
now = datetime.datetime.now()
t_from = now - datetime.timedelta(hours=4)
t_to = now

# Results will be summarised at one hour readings
period = "PT1H"

# Round times to start of period boundary
t_from = resource.round(t_from, period)
t_to = resource.round(t_to, period)

rdgs = resource.get_readings(t_from, t_to, period)
for r in rdgs:
    print("    %s: %s" % (
        r[0].astimezone().replace(tzinfo=None),
        r[1]
    ))

Timezones are managed according to t_from and t_to. If you want to use GMT timezone, make sure t_from and t_to are set to use that timezone.

Tariff

t = res.get_tariff()
print("    Tariff: rate=%.1f standing=%.1f" % (
    t.current_rates.rate,
    t.current_rates.standing_charge,
))

Not implemented / tested

The API provides the means to get the current value of a resource (the last data point acquired) and the meter reading (the cumulative value, the number you would see if you go and look at the meter.

I can't get these to work, maybe not implemented, or maybe only work with Glowmarkt hardware (I'm testing with a SMETS2 meter).

Command line

glowmarkt-dump

Accesses the bright account and dumps out each resource's readings, and tariff information, human readable.
