pybluecurrent

Python client for BlueCurrent charge points.

Usage

Using the client is as simple as:

from pybluecurrent import BlueCurrentClient

client = BlueCurrentClient("your_username", "your_secret_password")

async with client:
    charge_points = await client.get_charge_points()
    transactions = await client.get_transactions(charge_points[0]["evse_id"])

Methods

The BlueCurrentClient exposes the following methods:

• get_account
• get_charge_cards
• get_charge_points
• get_charge_point_settings
• get_grid_status
• get_sustainability_status
• set_plug_and_charge_charge_card
• set_status
• login
• get_charge_point_status
• get_contracts
• get_grids
• get_transactions
• iterate_transactions

Connection

The client can only be used when the websocket client is connected. For example:

client = BlueCurrentClient("your_username", "your_secret_password")
async with client:
    result = await client.get_account()

Entering the async context will automatically login.
