ecoflow-mqtt adapter for ioBroker

connects to products of Ecoflow ([https://www.ecoflow.com])

WARNING

This adapter uses a non-offical communication with the devices. Wrong communication or setting wrong values can affect the functionality of the device and may lead to exclusion from the service.

The adapter is based on the work of:

Installation and Configuration

Install the adapter from github (adapter is not yet in the stable repo).

some mor details

In Admin Page (first tab) the mqqt credentials for the mqqt Broker need to be inserted.

UserName - something like "app-...."
UserID - a 19 digit number
UserPassword - an alphanumeric
ClientID - a string starting with "ANDROID_...."

There are 3 possibilities:

by script https://github.com/mmiller7/ecoflow-withoutflow/blob/main/cloud-mqtt/ecoflow_get_mqtt_login.sh
by website https://energychain.github.io/site_ecoflow_mqtt_credentials/
by adapters own alogorithm (pressing the button), for this the ecoflow username and password is necessary.

The mqqt Broker settings are default and usually need no modification.

Use the tab "Device(s) Configuration" for adding your equipment.

Parametrizing the Powerstream

Use the tab "Homeassistant" for setup of MQTT connection to HA

Parametrizing Homeassistant Connector

* enable the service * set the user settings of the MQTT Broker of HA * set the connection parameter of the MQTT Broker of HA * select debug settings if required Modification at HA side: * The adapter uses the discovery function in HA, no configuration of datapoints in HA is needed. * MQTT add-on ...

Updating the adapter

Usually it is enough to install the next version on top of the old one. In some cases (e.g. 1.0.0) it might be needed to erase the whole object tree. If datapoint related values are changed, like min or max of the range, the you have to:

stop the adapter
deleted the concerned datapoints
start the adapter After this the new ranges are taken over.

ioBroker adapter functions

the defined devices are connected to the adapter via mqtt
the adapter filters the incomming messages of the devices. only changed values are stored internally
if the App prevents adjusting at a certain condition, when known it is replicated (e.g. inverter ON when below minimum battery charge is prevented, you can see a warning in the log )
not everything is known, so information to status interpretation may be uncertain, this is mostly marked with trailing "?"

remarks to update of data point setup (min, max, unit, ....)

If settings to a data point are changed in the new version of adapter (e.g. name, unit, max value) the change is not effective until you:

stop the adapter instance
delete the respective datapoint or the whole object structure of the adapter instance
start the adapter instance

During startup the datapoints are created, but not changed when existing.

remarks to warnings/errors

Some occurances in the adapter are tagged as warning or error in order to appear in the log when the loglevel is in info mode. This is not necessarily a failure or an indicator for not working adapter, it is more a sign for a not expected behaviour. The cause might not be in the adapter itself, but the attention is set.

HA connector/gateway

the MQTT discovery function in HA enables an elegant way of information exchange
the MQTT discovery function may not be activated when MQTT broker is already running in HA, it needs to be enabled during reconfiguration of MQTT service
at each start of iobroker adapter all discovery objects are transmitted to HA (even they should retain in HA)
iobroker adapter filters the incomming messages of the devices. only changed values are stored internally and transferred to HA.
if a value is not set by device data update, it will appear as unknown in HA
if the device is reachable, then the availability will be shown in the device connectivity, this is inherited to the "sub-devices" (unavailability is precessed in the same way)

annotations to functionality

Due to to the asynchronity of information updates and command transfer sometimes race conditions may be visible. So a switch is commanded and its toggling back and forth before it stays, can be observed.
restart of HA may not be recognized correctly in iobroker, so it needs a manual restart of the adapter (WIP)

Implemented Devices

some explanation to the device data

number -> data point with numeric value
level -> adjustable data point with numeric value, sometimes also selections which have numeric representation
switch -> adjustable data point boolean
diagnostic -> boolean or multi state data point transferred to text
string -> datapoint as text only
array -> datapoint with array
value to text conversion might use a non-validated text (feedback is welcome), this is indicated be "?" at the end of text

Power Ocean

Generator

Dual Fuel generator is not available, could be implemented, if data is available.

Powerstream

The 800W version is also implemented and only difference ist the 800W maximum power. supply priority -> 0/false = prioritized grid supply; -> 1/true = prioritized battery supply (charging)

Smart Plugs

Smart Plug

Shelly devices

Shelly3EM

Wave 2 Air conditioner

Wave2

Wave is not available, could be implemented, if data is available.

Glacier refrigerator

Glacier

ToDo

check forgotten boundary conditions for commands (inhibit cmd, or additional value)
check beep command if reversing needed
SlaveBattery DM, outWatts multiplication by 10
more getCmds for SHP values
