Powerpal custom component for Home Assistant

Component to integrate with powerpal.

This repository and integration is not affiliated with Powerpal.

This component will set up the following platforms and entities.

Platform	Description
sensor	Show info from Powerpal Readings API.

Entity	Description
sensor.powerpal_live_consumption	Current reading from Powerpal Readings API (updated every minute).
sensor.powerpal_total_consumption	Total consumption recorded by Powerpal - entity can be used in Energy Dashboard.

⚠️ Please note ⚠️

For the entities to display up-to-date information - it requires your Powerpal app (which can be running in the background) to be connected to the Powerpal device continuously for it to report near realtime usage information. The current implementation does not retrospectively use historical data - this may come in a future release.

Automatic Installation

1. Install HACS
2. Within HA go to HACS > Integrations > ... (in top right corner) > Custom Repositories
3. Add URL: https://github.com/mindmelting/hass-powerpal, Category: Integration
4. Go to the integrations page inside your home assistant install
5. Search for Powerpal
6. Install, enter your Powerpal API Authorization Key and Powerpal Device ID.

Manual Installation

1. Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).
2. If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
3. In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called powerpal.
4. Download all the files from the custom_components/powerpal/ directory (folder) in this repository.
5. Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
6. Restart Home Assistant
7. In the HA UI go to "Configuration" -> "Integrations" click "+" and search for Powerpal

Using your HA configuration directory (folder) as a starting point you should now also have this:

custom_components/powerpal/translations/en.json
custom_components/powerpal/__init__.py
custom_components/powerpal/config_flow.py
custom_components/powerpal/const.py
custom_components/powerpal/manifest.json
custom_components/powerpal/sensor.py

Configuration is done in the UI
