A Python Library for reading data from the Emporia Vue energy monitoring system.
The library can be invoked directly to pull back some basic info but requires your email and password to be added to a keys.json file, which is then replaced with the access tokens.
The backing API documentation can be accessed here
keys.json
{
"username": "you@email.com",
"password": "password"
}This example prints out the device list and energy usage over the last minute.

vue.login(username='you@email.com', password='password', token_storage_file='keys.json')token_storage_file is an optional file path where the access tokens will be written for reuse in later invocations. It will be updated whenever the tokens are automatically refreshed.
with open('keys.json') as f:
data = json.load(f)

vue = PyEmVue()
vue.login(id_token='id_token',
access_token='access_token',
refresh_token='refresh_token')
vue.get_devices()Returns a list of VueDevices with device information, including device_gid and list of VueDeviceChannels associated with the device. VueDeviceChannels are passed to other methods to get information for the specific channel.
vue = PyEmVue()
vue.login(id_token='id_token',

device1 = vue.get_devices()[0]
print(device1.device_name) # prints ""
device1 = vue.populate_device_properties(device1)
print(device1.device_name) # prints "Home"Updates and returns the passed VueDevice with additional information about the device such as the device name (as set in the app), zip code, timezone, electricity costs, etc.
- device: A VueDevice as returned by
get_devices. Will be updated and returned.
See Typical Example above.
Gets the usage for the given devices (specified by device_gid) over the provided time scale. May need to scale it manually to convert it to a rate, eg for 1 second data kilowatt={usage in kwh/s}*3600s/1h or for 1 minute data kilowatt={usage in kwh/m}*60m/1h.
- deviceGids: A list of device_gid values pulled from get_devices() or a single device_gid.
- instant: What instant of time to check, will default to now if None.
- scale: The time scale to check the usage over.
- unit: The unit of measurement.

print('Usage for the last seven days starting', start_time.isoformat())
for usage in usage_over_time:
print(usage, 'kwh')Gets the usage in the scale and unit provided over the given time range. Returns a tuple with the first element the usage list and the second the datetime that the range starts.
- channel: A VueDeviceChannel object, typically pulled from a VueDevice.
- start: The start time for the time period. Defaults to now if None.
- end: The end time for the time period. Default to now if None.
- scale: The time scale to check the usage over.
- unit: The unit of measurement.

charger.charging_rate = 6
charger.max_charging_rate = 16
charger = vue.update_charger(charger)The get_chargers call returns a list of chargers directly but it is also possible to get a full VueDevice for the charger first through the get_devices call and access a ChargerDevice through the ev_charger attribute off of the VueDevice (ie device.ev_charger).
Note: this call may take an extended amount of time depending on the vehicle, and may "wake" the vehicle to check status - be mindful of call volume, and aware of 10 second timeout that will hit if the vehicle doesn't reply in time (future may want to increase that).
