TEDAPI Vitals: Not Connected

[timcreech]

I installed the dashboard and everyting went well. Now I am looking to add the Vitals to get the String data.

I created a route to the GW on my Router. I can ping 192.168.1.1 from my Rasbperry Pi where this is installed. I can log onto the Gateway app from my Android phone by going to the 192.16.191.1 address. I use my Email and a password that I changed previously.

verify.sh sees 192.168.91.1 but Tedapi will not connect

Checking pypowerwall

• Config File pypowerwall.env: GOOD
• Container (pypowerwall): GOOD
• Service (port 8675): GOOD
• Version: 0.12.0 Proxy t66
• Powerwall State: CONNECTED - Firmware: 24.44.0
• Site Name: Creech Home Energy Gateway
• Gateway TEDAPI: Available (192.168.91.1)
• TEDAPI Vitals: Not Connected
• Cloud Mode: NO

Any thoughts on next area to check?

Thanks!!!

First, verify that you set the PW_GW_PWD variable to the gateway password (usually 10 letter, all caps) in the pypowerwall.env file:

[email protected]
PW_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=ABCDEFGXYZ

Next, stop and restart pypowerwall:

# Stop and remove pypowerwall
docker stop pypowerwall
docker rm pypowerwall

# Restart
./compose-dash.sh up -d

# View Logs
docker logs pypowerwall -f

You don't say but do you happen to have PW3 rather than an earlier model? If so it is the PW3 password you need, not the Gateway one. This password is printed on the label under the PW3 glass cover, visible during installation. If you have multiple PW3 then it's the password from the primary PW3.

Good thought but no, I have a gateway 1 with powerwall 2s

[jasonacox]

My Powerwall+ system with a Gateway 2 has two access points and two different QR codes with password. I know, confusing. But only one of them is the right one for TEDAPI. Do you see multiple TEG-xxx WiFi access points? If so, see if you can find the other QR code that may have the right password. Because you have a Gateway 1, it could be a completely different combination. If you or anyone else with a Gateway 1 is able to get this to work, let us know so we can add to the instructions and troubleshooting helps.

I have tried a few more things.

1. Changed the gateway password bak to the full Serial Number - No Luck
2. Changed the gateway password bak to the last 5 of thel Serial Number - No Luck
3. Changed the gateway password to at least 8 characters, including upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters - No Luck

It seems like there is a separate password for the tedapi access on my Gateway 1

Ah! I missed that this is a Gateway 1. We have an issue open on that: #536 - It seems that to make it work, you have to toggle the power switch, but that makes it fairly unusable for regular polling of TEDAPI. You can still use the standard local LAN access but via email/password credentials you would use to log in to the gateway itself, but would not get the extended metrics.

I should add anote about the Gateway 1 limitations in the README/setup. If anyone finds a way to make the Gateway 1 work with the 192.168.91.1 TEDPAI access point, please let us know.
