gazpar2haws

Gazpar2HAWS is a gateway that reads data history from the GrDF (French gas provider) meter and send it to Home Assistant using WebSocket interface.

It is compatible with Home Assistant Energy Dashboard and permits to upload the history and keep it updated with the latest readings.

Installation

Gazpar2HAWS can be installed on any host as a standalone program.

1. Using source files

The project requires Poetry tool for dependency and package management.

$ cd /path/to/my_install_folder/

$ git clone https://github.com/ssenart/gazpar2haws.git

$ cd gazpar2haws

$ poetry install

$ poetry shell

2. Using PIP package

$ cd /path/to/my_install_folder/

$ mkdir gazpar2haws

$ cd gazpar2haws

$ python -m venv .venv

$ source .venv/bin/activate

$ pip install gazpar2haws

3. Using Dockerfile

The following steps permit to build the Docker image based on the local source files.

1. Clone the repo locally:

$ cd /path/to/my_install_folder/

$ git clone https://github.com/ssenart/gazpar2haws.git

2. Edit the docker-compose.yaml file by setting the environment variables corresponding to your GrDF account and Home Assistant setup:

    environment:
      - GRDF_USERNAME=<GrDF account username>
      - GRDF_PASSWORD=<GrDF account password>
      - GRDF_PCE_IDENTIFIER=<GrDF PCE meter identifier>
      - HOMEASSISTANT_HOST=<Home Assistant instance host name>
      - HOMEASSISTANT_PORT=<Home Assistant instance port number>
      - HOMEASSISTANT_TOKEN=<Home Assistant access token>

3. Build the image:

$ docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yaml build

4. Run the container:

$ docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yaml up -d

4. Using Docker Hub

The following steps permits to run a container from an existing image available in the Docker Hub repository.

1. Copy and save the following docker-compose.yaml file:

services:
  gazpar2haws:
    image: ssenart/gazpar2haws:latest  
    container_name: gazpar2haws
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: bridge
    user: "1000:1000"    
    volumes:
      - ./gazpar2haws/config:/app/config
      - ./gazpar2haws/log:/app/log
    environment:
      - GRDF_USERNAME=<GrDF account username>
      - GRDF_PASSWORD=<GrDF account password>
      - GRDF_PCE_IDENTIFIER=<GrDF PCE meter identifier>
      - HOMEASSISTANT_HOST=<Home Assistant instance host name>
      - HOMEASSISTANT_TOKEN=<Home Assistant access token>

Edit the environment variable section according to your setup.

2. Run the container:

$ docker compose up -d

Usage

Command line

$ python -m gazpar2haws --config /path/to/configuration.yaml --secrets /path/to/secrets.yaml

Configuration file

The default configuration file is below.

logging:
  file: log/gazpar2haws.log
  console: true
  level: debug
  format: '%(asctime)s %(levelname)s [%(name)s] %(message)s'

grdf:
  scan_interval: 0 # Number of minutes between each data retrieval (0 means no scan: a single data retrieval at startup, then stops).
  devices:
  - name: gazpar2haws # Name of the device in home assistant. It will be used as the entity_ids: sensor.${name}_volume and sensor.${name}_energy.
    username: "!secret grdf.username"
    password: "!secret grdf.password"
    pce_identifier: "!secret grdf.pce_identifier"
    timezone: Europe/Paris
    last_days: 365 # Number of days of data to retrieve
    reset: false # If true, the data will be reset before the first data retrieval

homeassistant:
  host: "!secret homeassistant.host"
  port: "!secret homeassistant.port"
  token: "!secret homeassistant.token"

The default secret file:

grdf.username: ${GRDF_USERNAME}
grdf.password: ${GRDF_PASSWORD}
grdf.pce_identifier: ${GRDF_PCE_IDENTIFIER}

homeassistant.host: ${HA_HOST}
homeassistant.port: ${HA_PORT}
homeassistant.token: ${HA_TOKEN}

The history is uploaded on the entities with names:

• sensor.${name}_volume: Volume history in m³.
• sensor.${name}_energy: Energy history in kWh.

${name} is 'gazpar2haws' defined in the above configuration file. It can be replaced by any other name.

Those two entities have to already exist in Home Assistant.

They may be created using the following templates:

  - name: gazpar2haws_volume
    unit_of_measurement: 'm³'
    availability: true
    state: 0
    icon: mdi:fire    
    device_class: gas
    state_class: total_increasing    

  - name: gazpar2haws_energy
    unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
    availability: true
    state: 0     
    icon: mdi:fire
    device_class: energy
    state_class: total_increasing 

Environment variable for Docker

In a Docker environment, the configurations files are instantiated by replacing the environment variables below in the template files:

Environment variable	Description	Required	Default value
GRDF_USERNAME	GrDF account user name	Yes	-
GRDF_PASSWORD	GrDF account password (avoid using special characters)	Yes	-
GRDF_PCE_IDENTIFIER	GrDF meter PCE identifier	Yes	-
GRDF_SCAN_INTERVAL	Period in minutes to refresh meter data (0 means one single refresh and stop)	No	480 (8 hours)
GRDF_LAST_DAYS	Number of days of history data to retrieve	No	1095 (3 years)
HOMEASSISTANT_HOST	Home Assistant instance host name	Yes	-
HOMEASSISTANT_PORT	Home Assistant instance port number	No	8123
HOMEASSISTANT_TOKEN	Home Assistant access token	Yes	-

You can setup them directly in a docker-compose.yaml file (environment section) or from a Docker command line (-e option).
