⚠ No Longer Maintained ⚠

I no longer have an Evergy account so I can't test this. If you would like to become a maintainer (or even just make small fixes) let me know 🙂

Install

pip install evergy

Usage

from evergy.evergy import Evergy

evergy = Evergy("<evergy-username>", "<evergy-password>")

data = evergy.get_usage()
print("Today's kWh: " + str(data[-1]["usage"]))

Output

The last element from the get_usage() will be the latest data. The usage is in kilowatt-hours. I believe the peakDateTime is the time during that day when your usage was the highest and the peakDemand is how many kilowatts you were drawing at that time.

Latest data:
{
    'period': 'Saturday',
    'billStart': '0001-01-01T00:00:00',
    'billEnd': '0001-01-01T00:00:00',
    'billDate': '2021-09-18T00:00:00',
    'date': '9/18/2021',
    'usage': 14.7756,
    'demand': 3.7992,
    'avgDemand': 0.0,
    'peakDemand': 3.7992,
    'peakDateTime': '12:45 p.m.',
    'maxTemp': 71.0,
    'minTemp': 71.0,
    'avgTemp': 71.0,
    'cost': 18.5748,
