Homeassistant integration for go-e Charger Cloud

This is an integration for the Home Assistant for the go-e Charger Cloud wallbox (API v2) using this library.

How to use it

HACS

1. Open your Home Assistant in a browser.
2. In case you don't have HACS, follow the steps from here https://hacs.xyz/docs/configuration/basic.
3. In the left menu you should have HACS icon, click it.
4. Click on Integrations -> click 3 dots top right corner -> click Custom repositories.
5. In the dialog window, add https://github.com/openkfw/smartenergy.goecharger as a repository and select Integration as a category.
6. Click ADD, wait for spinner to finish and close the dialog.
7. Click EXPLORE & DOWNLOAD REPOSITORIES -> search for go-e -> select the go-e Charger Cloud -> wait and click DOWNLOAD.
8. Go to Settings -> System -> click RESTART and wait few seconds.
9. Go to Settings -> Devices & Services. Click the ADD INTEGRATION button.
10. Search for go-e Charger Cloud -> click -> fill in details -> click SUBMIT.

Example config:

Make sure that there is no trailing slash in the API host, otherwise the validation fails. When pressing submit, validation will also check the connectivity and fails if not able to connect and authenticate.

11. Go to the dashboard screen, you should see bunch of sensors for the go-e Charger Cloud integration.

Parameter	Name	Description
psm	phase_switch_mode	Set the phase switch mode.

Exposed services

Following functions are exposed as Home Assistant services, thus can be used by other integrations.

Name	Parameters	Description
start_charging	{"device_name": "example_charger", "charging_power": 10} or {"device_name": "example_charger"}	Starts charging with a specified charging power. charging_power is optional and you can use this service purely to start without setting the charging power.
stop_charging	{"device_name": "example_charger"}	Stop charging.
change_charging_power	{"device_name": "example_charger", "charging_power": 10}	Change charging power for a given charger.
set_phase	{"device_name": "example_charger", "phase": 1}	Change phase for a given charger. phase accepts values 0, 1, 2.
set_transaction	{"device_name": "example_charger", "status": 0}	Set the wallbox transaction. status accepts values None (no transaction) and 0 (authenticate all users).

Configuration

The integration can be configured either via UI (config flow) as described in the How to use it - HACS section or via configuration.yaml. For example:

smartenergy_goecharger:
  chargers:
    - name: examplecharger
      host: https://example.api.v3.go-e.io
      api_token: 12345
