# envoy-utils — Python utilities for the Enphase Envoy

License: copyleft · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 78.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

envoy-utils is a Python library for working with Enphase Envoy solar energy systems. It provides three main capabilities: calculating the installer password for a given Envoy serial number, discovering Envoy devices on a local network using Bonjour/Zeroconf, and streaming real-time production and consumption data from the system. The package depends only on zeroconf for network discovery and requires Python 3.8 or later.

The package was last released on 2021-09-06 and is no longer maintained. While it has modest download volume, the lack of updates means it may not work with recent Enphase hardware, firmware versions, or API changes. It is best suited for users working with older Envoy systems or as a reference implementation for understanding Enphase integration patterns.

Use it for:

- Calculate the installer password for an Enphase Envoy given its serial number for system access.
- Discover Enphase Envoy devices on a local network automatically using Bonjour/Zeroconf.
- Stream real-time solar production and consumption data from an Envoy system for monitoring or logging.
- Integrate legacy Enphase Envoy systems into custom home automation or energy monitoring solutions.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides utilities to interact with Enphase Envoy solar systems, including installer password calculation, device discovery via Bonjour/Zeroconf, and production/consumption data streaming.

No, not recommended for new projects. The package is abandoned (last release 2021-09-06) with no ongoing maintenance, and Enphase's APIs and hardware may have changed significantly since then. Install only if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it or working with very old Envoy hardware where compatibility is known.

## Install

pip install envoy-utils
uv add envoy-utils
poetry add envoy-utils

## Installing envoy-utils

Before you install: Package is abandoned (last release 2021-09-06, no commits since). Low install friction with a single dependency on zeroconf, but maintenance is no longer active and no updates are forthcoming.

License in practice: Licensed under GPLv3+, a copyleft license. Any derivative work or distribution must also be open-source under compatible terms.

Quickstart:

pip install envoy-utils

import envoy_utils
# Use passwordCalc, findEnphaseWithBonjour, or enphaseStreamMeter utilities

Requires Python 3.8 or later; depends on zeroconf for Bonjour discovery.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the Enphase API or authentication methods have changed since 2021 that would break password calculation or streaming functionality.
- Current compatibility with modern Enphase Envoy hardware versions and firmware.
- Whether zeroconf discovery still works reliably on current network configurations.
