EcoFlow Smart Plug support?

[svenerbe]

Hello, thanks for this great integration for EcoFlow devices. It is possible to integrate the smart plugs as well?

I think the sensor values can be collect similar to powerstream with this protobuf....

i'm looking for power consumption and as well to control the Smart Plugs On/Off.

[mattwells]

You can use the Matter integration for Home Assistant to control the Ecoflow Smart Plugs. Sadly it doesn't support the power consumption at this time but it is better than nothing. I am considering adding the smart plugs as well but I am hoping the that Matter integration will be there first as it would be a first party solution for Home Assistant rather than a HACS one.

[svenerbe]

Yes, i know about the matter integration - but its coming without power consumption:-( This was why i ask for integration with your solution...

Did you found a workaround ?

[svenerbe]

not so far:-(

[DSRocker]

I'm not able to add smartplug via matter in HomeAssistant

[xfirf]

I would also like this feature as I do not have a matter hub.

Today I tried to get the data via mqtt, but unfortenatly there is no useful data for smart plugs available. I´ve contacted Ecoflow for support. Maybe they can fix the results for smart plugs via mqtt.

A small "workaround" would be to read the Smart Plug Loads value from the Powerstream entity. Then at least the sum of all smart plugs would be available for the energy dashboard.

Hi, just a comment. you get the data as well for smart plugs via mqtt but you need the proto3 definition for decoding. i have a workaround implemented in my node-red inst. i have used the code snipes from the iobroker implementation https://forum.iobroker.net/topic/66743/ecoflow-connector-script-zur-dynamischen-leistungsanpassung/128.

In my solution i have just defined a mqtt client in node red - the decode function with java script and result is than send to homeassitant.

"However, this currently serves as a temporary solution; it would be more elegant to incorporate this functionality directly into the EcoFlow adapter."

[xfirf]

Cool. Could you provide your workaround to me? :)

[svenerbe]

I will see - i need to describe first the workaround.....

[xfirf]

@tolwi is there any chance you will add smart plug support? And if so, is there a way I can support you? I found the official http and mqtt documentation for the smart plugs: https://developer-eu.ecoflow.com/us/document/smartPlug

looks like they´ve added this recently.

interesting - have you already try this api? you know how i can request ACCESS_KEY and SECRET_KEY

[xfirf]

You can request a developer access here and then generate them by yourself: https://developer-eu.ecoflow.com/us/security I only used some examples from this facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1405868123482532/permalink/1575518496517493/

[xfirf]

Any chance somebody is able to help out here?

[svenerbe]

Hello @xfirf, the API seems quite promising. Perhaps it's worth considering developing a new custom component to utilize the API instead of the MQTT integration. I've put together a simple workaround for myself using the Pyscript integration, which might also be helpful for you.

This script gathers all your registered EcoFlow devices and creates an entry in HA with their parameters.

To do this, you'll need to install Pyscript: Python scripting integration - https://github.com/custom-components/pyscript

You'll also need the EcoFlow AccessKey and SecretKey, which you can request at https://developer-eu.ecoflow.com/.

In this code, I collect all attributes starting with key.startswith('2_1.') or key.startswith('20_1.') - indicating Powerstream and Smartplugs. After installation you get a new service in HA like 'Pyscript Python scripting: get_ef_device_list_all'

You need just to copy the following code into ha_config/pyscript:

# Example Code to obtain data from API for specific sensors on an EcoFlow device

# written by mail@sven-erbe.de - 14/02/2024

# prerequest:

# ecoflow AccessKey and SecretKey - needs to request on https://developer-eu.ecoflow.com/

[xfirf]

Cool thanks a lot for this. I'll try to get it working and give you feedback later. :-)

[xfirf]

@svenerbe This is so cool. Thanks for the script. Finally I have the consumption splitted by device and when the Powerstream is offline 🥳

I added a template helper with this code after installing the python add-on and the script: {{ (float(state_attr('sensor.ecoflow_myapi_kuehlschrank', '2_1.watts'))) / 10 }}

Division by 10 as ecoflow provides the watts without semicolon for the decimals, for example 25watt consumption will be shown as 250 instead.

[svenerbe]

Hi, great. how you have scheduled the function? via automation? for power consumption you are right - Operating output power: is 0.1 W - you need division by 10.

[xfirf]

yes, I´ve setup an automation restarting the script every minute:

alias: Ecoflow Smart Plugs Update
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    minutes: /1
condition: []
action:
  - service: pyscript.get_ef_device_list_all
    data: {}
mode: single

[Nick75wien]

Thanks a lot! I have done all the steps described to install Pyscript and have copied the script. I also can run the service in HA like 'Pyscript Python scripting: get_ef_device_list_all' but I am not sure if the return is correct and how to get the values like in @xfirf 's post.

Could you please help me what the next steps would be ?

KR Nick

[xfirf]

After the initial setup you have to setup a automation running this script regulary to get updates. Mine is shown above.

Then you need to create helpers to extract the attributes and map them to sensors you can use for other stuff: Einstellungen / Geräte & Dienste / Helfer / Helfer erstellen / Template / Template für einen Sensor erstellen And then copy this into "Zustandstemplate": {{ (float(state_attr('sensor.ecoflow_myapi_kuehlschrank', '2_1.watts'))) / 10 }}

the /10 is needed as ecoflow provides the watts without a comma or dot but multiplied by 10 to provide them without those characters. you have to change the 'kuehlschrank' regarding to the names you chose for your smart plugs.

[Nick75wien]

I have done like described, but something isn't working. how do I know the correct names? how can I check which values are received with the script ?

[mapsgolbeck]

@svenerbe @xfirf Thanks for scripting. It works...now!

@Nick75wien First, check "Einstellungen - System - Protokolle" that will help you to find log/error-info from scripting

Be sure in EcoFlow-App that all device name of ecoflow-components (Powerstream, Delta, Plugs...and other) are also "phyton - like". A hyphen in name was the problem...and the script will stopped!!! "EF-PLug-1" is my bad example, "EF Plug 1" was better ...

Or, you can add a position to the scripting from Sven : search the position device_name_clean = device_name.replace... and add this:
.replace("-","")

device_name_clean = device_name.replace(" ","").replace("ü","ue").replace("ö","oe").replace("ä","ae").replace("-","")

That was my solution to find the plugs as new entities...

[Nick75wien]

Got it - as mentioned it was in the name of the plugs - i had / in it :-)

[saschamb1]

Hi,

i tried it and get the following message in my log: Exception in line 76: device_name = device['deviceName'] ^ KeyError: 'deviceName'

i modified in the script only AccessKey and SecretKey.

[svenerbe]

see comment above - this is a problem with your device name, there a 2 option: 1. rename your devices in ecoflow app, 2. replace you specific char in the script - you can search in the script for device_name.replace.

[saschamb1]

Hi,

I renamed all Plugs to english. It didn't worked. Renamed it back to german. Wrote all in small letters. He created only empty entity's without unique ID's

[svenerbe]

maybe you have a unsupported device for the ecoflow api. Looks like there is no attribute in the payload for device_name. you can replace line 76 with the following:

device_name = device.get('deviceName')

or

if 'deviceName' in device:
    # Key exists
    device_name = device['deviceName']

[saschamb1]

Hi,

thank you very much. :-) Problem solved. It was an unknown device.

Another question: Is there a solution to use it as a switch?

[snmrvoge]

Unfortunately I can't get any further here, I have filed the script under (/homeassistant/pyscript) - the name of the file : (get_ef_device_list_all.py) did Restart etc. But I don't see any SmartPlugs. On developer.ecoflow.com I don't see any devices either, is that correct? Best, René
