PW2 v1r TEDAPI - working in python with legacy password and serial number password, documentation requires update?

[BJReplay]

Is the get documented for PW3 expected to work for PW2 using v1r?

python -m pypowerwall get -v1r -host 192.168.1.30 -gw_pwd ABCDEXXXXX -rsa_key_path ./tedapi_rsa_private.pem (where ABCDEXXXXX has been replaced with my full GW serial number - which does work in the next example) always fails with:

v1r: Login failed

To test, I put together a full .env, and the following modifications to example.py, the connection works:

print(f"mode: {pw.mode}, tedapi: {pw.tedapi_mode}\n")

And confirmed it was connecting in local v1r.

My .env contained

POWERWALL_MODE=v1r
POWERWALL_HOST=192.168.1.30
POWERWALL_GW_PWD=MyGatewaySerialNumber
POWERWALL_PASSWORD=MyLegacyPasswordSetInTelsaOneApp
POWERWALL_TIMEZONE=Australia/Melbourne
POWERWALL_RSA_KEY_PATH=./tedapi_rsa_private.pem

Going back to the CLI, this worked:

python -m pypowerwall get -v1r -host 192.168.1.30 -password "legacypasswordwithspecialcharacters" -gw_pwd ABCDEXXXXX -rsa_key_path ./tedapi_rsa_private.pem

Reviewing the code at https://github.com/jasonacox/pypowerwall/blob/main/pypowerwall/__main__.py#L104C1-L110C10 indicates that the call at https://github.com/jasonacox/pypowerwall/blob/main/pypowerwall/__main__.py#L866 simply passes through the args from get.

It appears that get with v1r requires both host and gw_pwd as well as password to work successfully.

I'm raising this as a discussion Q&A rather than an issue, because I'm not sure if it is an issue or a documentation gap, but it looks like it might be a gap in the documentation for v1r for PW2 - which - if it is, is working for me (another data point 😉).

didn't look at the code. fwiw i simply discovered that v1r route did not work for me until i set legacy password and actually used it as password along with the private key registration (gw_pwd seems optional). after that i was able to do local operations without falling back to cloud mode. Nore do i require connection to gateway wifi endpoint exclusively, local LAN IP is ok.
