Connect to ecoflow MQTT server to communicate with an ecoflow device (currently only powerstream microinverters, smartplugs and delta max are supported). Creates a homie device for the ecoflow devices to be able to integrate them into smarthome systems with homie support.

1. Create virtual environment and install dependencies

python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Create .env file with credentials to login

EF_USERNAME=<ecoflow account username (email address)>
EF_PASSWORD=<ecoflow account password>
HOMIE_MQTT=<mqtt server ip/hostname>
HOMIE_MQTT_PORT=<mqtt server port>
HOMIE_MQTT_USERNAME=<mqtt username if your mqtt broker needs credentials>
HOMIE_MQTT_PASSWORD=<mqtt password if your mqtt broker needs credentials>

3. Create config.json in configs subfolder

{
    "devices": [{
        "type": "powerstream",
        "serial": "serial-number of the powerstream device"
    }]
}

4. Create directory for logging

mkdir logs

5. Run: ./index.py
