@kalhimeo is there way to avoid putting plain text values for DSN, username and password in app.yaml? I tried moving these values to secrets.yaml but the integration stopped working and I could not figure out a way to make app.yaml read the DSN, username and password from secrets.yaml file.
I have no idea, I am still quite new with these things 
sorry
@kalhimeo
Great thanks for this scripts and instructions indeed!
I got it working almost directly with your instructions.
Thanks a lot… 
@kalhimeo you did it perfectly, I was not starting the AppDaemon correctly. I’m able to put DSN, email and password in secrets.yaml and it is working like a charm!!
Thanks!
The integration was working for couple days like a charm, but yesterday, without any changes it disconencted and now I cannot get any data from ecowater. I can login to the ecowater website and mobile app without any issues, but the data are not coming to HA. Has anybody seen similar issue?
I don’t have any problem here, still works as usual
Hi, i tried this but I cant get it to work Please can you help.
Running Home Assistant Supervised 2021.7.4 on Raspberry Pi 4
Here is what I did:
Created Mqtt-user in HA
Supervisor > Add-On Store > Installed Mosquitto broker Enabled Boot and Watchdog > Start > Restarted HA
Configuration > integrations > added MQTT that was found by HA with Mqtt-user details
Supervisor > Add-On Store > Installed AppDaemon 4 (v0.6.2) > Enabled Boot, Watchdog and Auto update > Start > Restarted HA
File Editor - I can see new appdaemon folder created with defaults
Configuration > integrations > HACS > Configure > Enabled “Enable AppDaemon apps discovery & tracking” > Restarted HA
File Editor > Edited /config/appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml and added the following
EcoWater:
module: ecowater

ecowater_minutes: 60
ecowater_dsn: 'ACxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
ecowater_email: '[email protected]'
ecowater_password: 'xxxxxxxxxx'
File Editor > created /config/appdaemon/apps/ecowater.py and pasted contents from here

Anything I missed or did wrong ?
Thanks in Advance.
Hi All,
It seems like its working now but intermittently. It comes and goes. Anybody else noticed that.
Thanks for all your help
Hi rbhalla, I did not experience such problem, but note that the script only pulls the data from Ecowater every 60 minutes, so don’t expect live values.
Looks like the app doesn’t capture the initial data for 60mins from first run.
Is it possible to update it so it connects and captures the data at startup, then run every X minutes after to refresh?
Hi, normally it should do an initial update at startup, but you may try to modify this line in ecowater.py :
self.run_every(self.run_parsing, datetime.datetime.now() + timedelta(seconds=3), self.args["ecowater_minutes"] * 60)
to
self.run_every(self.run_parsing, datetime.datetime.now() + timedelta(seconds=60), self.args["ecowater_minutes"] * 60)
Not sure if will help as I am not the coder of the original script (I only adapted it for Appdaemon), but you can give it a try
Thanks, will look at that line.
I reduced the delay by modifying
ecowater_minutes: 60
to
ecowater_minutes: 10
which runs the script every 10 mins, but still waits for the first data acquisition.
Giving it sone thought, it’s only an issue after a restart, so I’m not going to worry too much if I can’t solve it easily.
You can indeed increase the polling cylce, but it will have a big impact for such a rare problem.
Modifying the line above defines when to start the first run : normally scheduled at actual time + 3 seconds, changed to +60 seconds as maybe other components are not ready yet on your system (network, internet connection ?).
The python script stopped working with the latest update of appdaemon, which bumps the python version to 3.10.
Not much info in the appdeamon log, except:
2022-07-12 14:41:42.735619 WARNING EcoWater: Traceback (most recent call last):

Anyone with any insights?
Thx

I Patrick, I stopped maintaining this script as someone made an integration accessible via HACS : https://github.com/barleybobs/homeassistant-ecowater-softener
It works fine with the latest HA version

I have that integration installed also, but you have to click on attributes to actually see them.
With yours all attributes were always visible.
Any chance of giving the script the necessary python 3.10 update?
Thx
Patrick
Sorry I won’t be able to do that, I am not the creator of the python script, I only adapted it to make it work with appdaemon, so my python knowledge is too limited 
I have an ecowater eVolution 400 Boost water softener, but even this site does not work for me: https://www.wifi.ecowater.com/Site/Login
you may try to replace the url with
https://wifi.ecowater.com/Site/Login
