pytrydan

What it is and what it does

pytrydan is a Python library that lets you communicate with V2C Trydan electric vehicle charging stations (EVSE) over the network. It wraps the device's API and exposes it through both a Python module and a command-line tool, so you can query charging status, adjust charging intensity, and manage other device parameters programmatically or from the shell.

The package is built on httpx for HTTP communication, orjson for efficient JSON parsing, and tenacity for automatic retry logic—all standard, well-maintained dependencies. It's actively developed, carries no known security issues, and targets Python 3.14 or later. The CLI provides quick ad-hoc control, while the library layer lets you integrate charger management into larger automation or monitoring systems.

Use it for:

• Query real-time charging status and power metrics from a Trydan EVSE device for monitoring dashboards.
• Adjust charging intensity or other device parameters from a Python script or automation workflow.
• Build a home energy management system that coordinates EV charging with solar generation or grid pricing.
• Integrate Trydan control into a fleet or multi-site charging management platform.
• Create shell scripts or cron jobs for scheduled charging adjustments using the CLI.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

pytrydan provides Python bindings and a command-line interface to communicate with V2C Trydan EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment) devices over the network.

Yes, if you own or manage a V2C Trydan EVSE and need programmatic control or monitoring. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses permissive MIT licensing. The main constraint is the Python 3.14 requirement, which may not yet be standard in all environments. For Trydan-specific use cases, it is the natural choice.

Install

pytrydan on PyPI

pip install pytrydan

uv add pytrydan

poetry add pytrydan

Installing pytrydan

Before you install

Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and five common dependencies. The package is actively maintained with a release 7 days old and no known vulnerabilities.

License in practice

MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal legal friction—suitable for commercial and open-source projects alike.

Quickstart

pip install pytrydan

# Command line:
pytrydan status IP_OF_TRYDAN
pytrydan set IP_OF_TRYDAN Intensity 16

Requires Python 3.14 or later; the target Trydan EVSE device must be reachable on the network at a known IP address.

Verify before relying

• Whether the library supports both synchronous and asynchronous I/O patterns with httpx.
• What authentication or security measures are required to communicate with a Trydan device.
• Whether the package handles device discovery or requires manual IP configuration.
• The full set of available keywords beyond 'Intensity' for device control.
• Specific Python module classes or functions available for programmatic use beyond CLI.
