Storm Watch Indicator?

[JohnJ9ml]

I've been looking around for some sort of indicator in the API responses that shows that a Storm Watch event has been triggered. It might be more significant to me right now only because I'm in that nether period where I'm between final approval and PTO, so I'm only allowed to charge from the grid in preparation for an anticipated storm.

I'd like to be able to have a clue to identify the power used purely to charge the batteries in anticipation of this, but I haven't spotted an alert or flag thus far in any of the API responses. This is what led me to look at the Vitals output, but I'm not finding anything there either so far. Can anyone point me at something I'm missing?

Okay, I might just now have spotted it:

I just picked up a system alert RampRateLimited. Perhaps this is the indicator.

LATER: Okay, no, that's not it, but I'm going to stop guessing.

Hi @JohnJ9ml - That would be interesting to capture. Please continue your investigation for us!

If it shows up anywhere, I suspect it could be in one of the TEDAPI payloads - if you are running the proxy, you could try:

• http://localhost:8675/tedapi/config
• http://localhost:8675/tedapi/status
• http://localhost:8675/tedapi/battery

Or using python:

import pypowerwall

host = "192.168.91.1"
gw_pw = "ABCDEFGHIJ"
pw = pypowerwall.Powerwall(host, "", "", "", gw_pwd=gw_pwd, auto_select=True)

# Pick one
json.dumps(pw.tedapi.get_config())
json.dumps(pw.tedapi.get_status())
json.dumps(pw.tedapi.get_components())
json.dumps(pw.tedapi.get_battery_blocks())
json.dumps(pw.tedapi.get_device_controller())

I'll continue to work on this.

I notice that the tedapi calls can find my battery blocks, but the system_status output doesn't list them.

Thanks @JohnJ9ml - and yes, please note any missing bits. If you are interested, also feel free to submit a pull request if you are willing to code the fixes/additions. At a minimum, we can open an issue for the missing battery blocks (would be good to have the example data).
