Requirements

Python3 and libs

python3 with its dependencies:

pip3 install -r app/requirement.txt

GRDF Gazpar API

Verify you have gazpar data available on GRDF Portal Remember, kWh provided is conversion factor dependant. Please verify it's coherent with your provider bills.

Gazpar2mqtt request the API and retrieve 4 groups of data :

Account informations

It corresponds to the customer profile, the list of PCE (Point de Comptage et d'Estimation) and its attributes (address, state, activation date)

Informative measures

GRDF provides informative measures at day level. The tool returns the last measure and several calculated indicators.

Published measures

GRDF provides published measures. It corresponds to consumptions measured by GRDF and transmitted to your gas supplier. Consequently, it should correspond to the consumption that the supplier invoices to the consumer.

Thresolds

Thresolds (Seuil) can be set on GRDF website for current and future months.

The script can retrieve those informations and publish a warn when the thresold is close to being reached.

Prices

Gazpar2mqtt can ingest your own energy prices to estimate your costs. Download and complete the sample file prices.csv using the following format :

• PCE : your PCE id
• startDate : starting date of the price
• endDate : end date of the price (put a far far end date at the last row of the file, ie : 2999-12-31)
• kwhPrice : the price per kWh (don't forget to apply the TVA to this cost, and to add the french energy tax per kwh)
• fixPrice : the fix price per day (it corresponds for example to the price of your subscription with your gas provider, don't forget to apply the TVA)

pce;startDate;endDate;kwhPrice;fixPrice
XXXX;2019-11-28;2020-12-27;0.03713;0.25
XXXX;2020-12-28;2021-01-25;0.03472;0.30
XXXX;2021-01-26;2099-12-31;0.03733;0.35

Then precise in parameters the path to the file prices.csv.

Add-on

For Hass.io users, gazpar2mqtt is also available as an add-on provided by alexbelgium (thanks you to him). Please visit the dedicated repository.

InfluxDb & Grafana

You can activate export of data to your InfluxDb v2 database. InfluxDb v1 is currently not supported.

Example of a Grafana dashboard using InfluxDb v2 and gazpar2mqtt measures :

To integrate this dashboard into Grafana, copy/paste content of file grafana_sample.json.
