[CUSTOM INTEGRATION] EP Cube – Home Assistant Integration

:jigsaw: [CUSTOM INTEGRATION] EP Cube – Home Assistant Integration

Hi everyone!
I’ve developed a custom integration to monitor EP Cube systems (by Canadian Solar) directly from Home Assistant :tada:

UNOFFICIAL INTEGRATION

:wrench: Features

  • :white_check_mark: Real-time monitoring: solar production, consumption, battery, grid, backup, EV, and more
  • :white_check_mark: Support for daily, monthly, and annual statistics
  • :white_check_mark: Fully translated: :uk: English & :it: Italian
  • :white_check_mark: Energy Dashboard compatible
  • :white_check_mark: Simple UI setup
  • :white_check_mark: Direct communication with the official EpCube API

:key: Required: Bearer Token

This integration uses the official EpCube API.
You’ll need to generate a Bearer token using your EpCube login credentials (email/password).

:arrow_right: Use this tool to generate the token:
:link: GitHub - Bobsilvio/epcube-token: Create Token for API

Once you have your token, you can paste it into the integration UI.


:link: GitHub Repository (integration):
:point_right: GitHub - Bobsilvio/epcube: Custom Home Assistant integration for monitoring the EP Cube energy storage system.

:speech_balloon: Feedback and testing are very welcome if you own an EP Cube system!

All waiting for official APIs

ou came just at the right time!!! I’m actually looking into getting a system these days, and now I know I can also consider EP Cube. Thanks a lot! I don’t have a system yet, so unfortunately I can’t help with testing right now, but I definitely will if I end up installing it. (I’m Italian too)

Hi,
I am currently in the middle of my home solar project, but as i work away from home, I can only work on it during my holidays, to date i have installed my EP Cube and I am just using it on TOU mode to charge my battery in Off-peak and to provide so back-up, I also installed Home assistant Green which i am just learning, so i was pleased when i saw you intergration for the EP Cube and as a beginner I found it surprisingly easy following you setup instructions to download your intergration. Which just worked with no issues. So thanks again for your time developing this intergration. Just one scaling that you might check is “sensor.ep_cube_home_flow_power” could be out by 2 decimal places.
Thanks again
Hugh

what version of the integration do you have?
attach original photo of the epcube screen (circling the sensor) and also screen of the integration with the sensor…
not all of us have all the sensors working.

v1.0.9

Added two new sensors:
Battery IN and Battery OUT

These sensors do not come directly from EPCUBE but are sensors created by me, based on the battery kwh sensor (its capacity), I tried to calculate how much ENERGY comes out and how much comes in, this calculation does not take into account the home consumption, because the overall battery capacity data already tells us if energy is coming out or coming in

energy is cumulative, it doesn’t return to 0 every day, I don’t know how other systems work.
