Should Opower work for all Evergy customers? #85

Closed ourstanley closed 3 months ago

ourstanley commented 3 months ago

I was pleased to see my provider Evergy in the list of supported providers, but even though I have authenticated with my Evergy details no power consumption has appeared. Evergy was formed by the merger of Westar with Kansas Power and Light - I’m a former Westar customer. Should this integration work for me, or does it only work for the former Kansas Power and Light customers?

When it was Westar I was able to download data about my consumption in the ‘Blue Button’ format, but that feature was removed post merger and I’ve not found a way to view/analyze my data on anything less than a week/day, wherea previously I could see it for every 15 mins of the day.

many thanks,

ourstanley

No idea. Try it by running the following:

pip install opower
python -m opower

OK, so after posting this I realized that as well as installing the integration and authenticating to Evergy that I needed to define some entities. So I did that and I seem now to be seeing data -

I’ll monitor this and see how it changes over time. Doesn’t look like I’ll get the consumption by time of day view that came with the Blue Button data, but it might still be useful.

Read the documentation. You need to add the statistics to the energy dashboard. Not these sensors.
