Good morning,
@Florent_Coste how far are you with that?
Do you have pictures of the whole electronic board of the box?

Reviving this Thread. Apparently FTE has it running ans sells the integration with their own hardware, Home Assistant and their configuration.
On the page http://ids-smartbuddy.de they mention several types, which I think are all Besen wallboxes in different cases:
Telestar EC311 S6 (fixed cable with type plug) have this model
Telestar EC311 S (with outlet for type 2 plug, otherwise identical to S6 I think)
FTE-WB2-11-LK (both FTE Boxes look even the same as the Telestar boxes)
FTE-WB2-11-LS
Besen EV (different lacing of LED and Screen
Their Box with installed Home Assitant and their dashboard/additional configuration is 149,- Euro
Perhaps they will sell the software/configuration solo? I will contact them next week.

No luck. They have the integration but they do not sell it separately. Only as a bundle with a custom dashboard on a Ubuntu system. So if somebody wants to buy the whole thingy, its available for 149,-.
I personally will not invest that kind of money just to make a wallbox available in HA. A HA compatible wallbox just costs a little more than that and is fully open.
Dead end for now.
since a few days there is a typescript library which works perfectly for me with the Besen BS20.
i am currently developing a dockerised nodejs app which uses this library to make the wallbox data available via mqtt.
but that will take some time. if someone is better and faster at it, feel free to start.
and here is the next project for the Besen BS20 EVSE
python, bluetooth

Someone has already tried?
yes, for now im using the python bluetooth from slesperson as docker container and it worked like a charm.
The home assistant addon also works perfect!

Which addon do you refer to? Can you give us the name?
click the addon button in the linked repo.
I was referring to Michiel.
But OK, I got the Add On running but can you tell me how I get a permanent BT connection to the wallbox? The box is hanging outside the house and I can access it with EVSEMaster via my phone. But how do I get access direct into my HA?
you need to have a bluetooth dongle with long range on your HA server.
the bluetooth proxies with an esphome device doesn’t work.
alternatively, you can also run the python script on a raspberry pi (zero w) near the wallbox which you connect to your mqtt broker
Hi all,
I’ve just bought a BESEN BS20 charger, and I can not used the mqtt stuff. So I made a quick and dirty implementation for the charger (based on the raw communication between the mobile app and the charger).
Now, it has unknown statuses and parameters, that I included as a simple sensor. If somebody can solve what a param means, please notify me on the github page (issues).
I’m not a python developer, so everything is possible. But now I run this integration for days without any problem on my RPI2b based Home Assistant.
You can find the integration here:

Hello Everyone,
because i’m bad at searching forum i didnt see this topic until now …
So i developped from scratch a similar integration, for my evsemaster compatible charger.
i did my test on a MOREC but i think the protocol is the same
here is the link just in case :
Haha I cannot not believe this also happened to somebody else, I also made an integration and just found this.
I guess it’s because EVSEMaster wasn’t really mentioned here I was just looking for a Telestar implementation,
Oh well, was pretty fun to do and all the difficult things were done by johnwoo in emproto: GitHub - johnwoo-nl/emproto: EM Protocol Handler
We really went from a lack of options to 3
