TEDAPI Vitals: Not Connected

[saultenuts]

Problem Description
Cannot get string data with the latest PyPowerwall setup. Although TEDAPI is available, it is not connected.
Running python3 -m pypowerwall.tedapi seems to give all the data needed, including string data from my 2 powerwalls, but Powerwall-Dashboard does not get the data.

http://localhost:8675/tedapi/status returns 404 page not found

System Details
Describe the host system you are trying to use for the Dashboard:
Debian Linux setup running Powerwall-Dashboard through docker setup.
I have 2 Powerwall+ Units with Tesla Solar Panels

Verify Tool Output
If possible, please run the verify.sh found in the Powerwall-Dashboard main folder. It will attempt to verify all the services needed to run Powerwall-Dashboard and identify errors. Please paste the output or screenshot here:

./verify.sh

Hi @saultenuts - Make sure your pypowerwall.env is set up to correctly activate to TEDAPI. Key variables are PW_GW_PWD and PW_HOST. Note, PW_GW_PWD is the WiFi password listed on the QR code. It is all caps. PW_HOST must be 192.168.91.1.

PW_EMAIL=email@address.com
PW_PASSWORD=tesla_Password
PW_HOST=192.168.91.1
PW_TIMEZONE=America/Los_Angeles
TZ=America/Los_Angeles
PW_DEBUG=no
PW_STYLE=grafana-dark
PW_GW_PWD=ABCDEFGHIJK

Note: You can edit this file manually and just restart with ./compose-dash.sh up -d or you can re-run setup.sh.

Hi @jasonacox, my pypowerall.env is setup exactly like this. I use the PW_GW_PWD from my gateway which works with python3 -m pypowerwall.tedapi, but I still cannot get verify.sh to show "- TEDAPI Vitals: Connected"

Why would pypowerwall.tedapi work, but verify.sh would show not conencted, alogn with Powerwall-Dashboard?

[jasonacox]

The verify.sh script look at the pypowerwall container to see if it is using tedapi. This means that the container version is not yet using the PW_GW_PWD. Try to rebuild pypowerwall:

docker stop pypowerwall
docker rm pypowerwall
./compose-dash.sh up -d

Surf over to http://localhost:8675/help (replace localhost with the address of the host running the dashboard), and it should show the tedapi mode.

After re-installing pypowerwall, I get this from /help

[jasonacox]

There has to be something wrong with the pypowerwall.env file. A few recommendations:

1. Restart pypowerwall and look at logs to see if it is trying but not successful

docker restart pypowerwall
docker logs pypowerwall -f

2. Re-run ./setup.sh again and enter the gateway password to ensure there aren't any errors in the password.

I realize that both verify.sh and the help screen do not show the IP address you are using for the Powerwall. Please confirm it is using 192.168.91.1.

Strange, I couldn't get it to work, logs didn't show anything. I ended up re-installing all the docker containers and re-installed PyPowerwall and now everything works. TEDAPI is connected and strings are being reported.

That's great news! It would be great to know what happend, but I'm glad you have it working again.
