TED5000 - The Energy Detective

[Ramias]

Well the good news is the Ted6000 XML URL returns a MUCH smaller data set.

The XML return is shown above from the previous poster. I've tried to modify your plugin but it fails. Here's the code I have:

Code: Select all

        def update(self,device):
                self.debugLog("Updating device: " + device.name)
                theUrl = u"http://" + device.pluginProps["address"] + "/api/DashData.xml?T=0"

                self.debugLog("Checking URL " + theUrl)

                try:
                        f = urllib2.urlopen(theUrl)       
                except:
                        self.errorLog("Error getting ted6000 data: %s" % (device.pluginProps["address"]))
                        return

                theXml = f.read()
                TED6000 = ET.parse(urllib2.urlopen(theUrl))
                DashData = TED6000.find('DashData')

                PowerNow_Total = DashData.findtext('Now')
                PowerTDY_Total = DashData.findtext('TDY')
                PowerMTD_Total = DashData.findtext('MTD')
                PowerAVG = DashData.findtext('Avg')
                VoltageNow_Total = DashData.findtext('Voltage')

The failure looks like this:

Code: Select all

  TED 5000 Plugin Debug           Starting concurrent thread
  TED 5000 Plugin                 Polling Interval: 30

I'm stuck at this point. Have tried a bunch of hit and miss things. Hopefully somebody can see this and give me an idea where it fails.

In case anybody's interested I've crudely hacked Nick's plugin to support the TED 6000 (TED Pro).

It's not a dual-stack -- it will only work with the 6000.

See the screenshots from the mobile app to see the custom states it captures.

I have the Ted Home Pro as well. I am new to Indigo. Is there a Plugin for it avail?

[nlagaros]

Hey all. I finally added support for TED Pro/6000. You must be on Indigo 7 for this to work. Let me know how it goes as I do not have a TED Pro.

You can find it here: http://vulture.lagaros.com:8000/wordpre ... detective/

Plugin looking good with my TED 6000 and Indigo 7. Thanks for doing this. Looking forward to Spyder support

[Ramias]

If anybody is interested, I have modified this plugin for Ted Pro (6000) with a single Spyder unit. I have it set to report the minute average of power and cost usage. (The API is broken and doesn't report second intervals for the Spyders).

You create each Spuder node as a separate device. This makes the energy usage show up cleaner in Grafana.
