Easee EV charging station

Am experiencing the same. So at least you’re not alone. Read about someone else having the same issue and then after charging for the first time the entities were updated. However I haven’t got my car yet so cannot try that out.

My equalizer is updating though.

Ok, good to know. I haven’t got the car either so maybe I have to ask some neighbour to come to me and charge :smiley:

New version of the integration was just released. It takes care of the changed API.

Thanks! Working just fine now!

Hey Guys, I am running the Eease charger and load balancer. I get all data but the load balancer is giving me values in x.x kW. Is there a way to get it to report Watts instead of Kilowatts?

Thanks!

If you configure integration again you should be able to see watt values and enable them.

I found out that it does not have same accuracy as my Frient sensor.

Is there any way to add somekind of history of power usaged? like over a certain amount of time say a month? i can see the api call for it is there, but i dont seem to be able to select any kind of Entities for that kind of info?

Many thanks, I will try it once the component is letting me :confused:

Hi. I’ve got an Easee charger and have installed the integration in HA. Everything works, however when I add the device to the Energy dashboard, I’m only able to add the “XXXXXX Lifetime energy”.

It works in the dashboard for daily/weekly/monthly usage, but when dig into detailed view, you only see the aggregate consumption.

How do I add the “XXXXXX Power” entity to the energy dashboard like is shown for all other devices I have (mostly shelly plugs)?

Wondering why it’s the lifetime energy entity that shows up.

Any help appreciated.

I have Landys E360 smart meter with P1/HAN port where I have connected ESP32 board using this integration (GitHub - psvanstrom/esphome-p1reader: ESPHome custom component for reading P1 data from electricity meters.) where I read the meter consumption per phase etc.

Easee Load Balancer connects to the same P1/HAN port. So I would have disconnect ESP32 and connect Easee LB instead. Anyone knows if it is possible to connect two devices to P1 port or in some other way solve this?

There are P1 splitters on the market. Active P1 Splitter - HomeWizard
However, I have no personal experience of such devices.

Thanks for a useful tip. There is at least hope that someone else though about it and solved it. :slight_smile:

Don’t you get enough information from the Equalizer through the Easee integration? What is missing?

I haven’t got Equalizer yet and only have p1 esphome which feeds the data from the electricity meter into hass.

When I will get Equalizer I still want to continuity getting data into hass via esphome.

But let me rephrase the question after reading your last post. Can I get all the consumption info (not only related to EV charging) from the meter using Equalizer? Info like current used, voltage, kwh per phase?

Yes, you get the data in general, not only the charging robot data. You get the current in kW, voltage and ampere per phase (not kW), and kWh in total.

Well this is excellent. Then I only need to use Equalizer! Thanks for info.

If you don’t get the kWh by default, you can ask Easee to update your Equalizer.

Do you recommend getting the easee equalizer. Or just using a generic P1 meter and use the data to automate the easee charger

I’m experimenting with an easee equalizer. I get the current consumption from tibber as well.

To get use from the equalizer you first need to calculate the energy using Integration - Riemann sum integral: Integration - Riemann sum integral - Home Assistant

And pass that sensor through a utility meter that will reset every month.

I’m just starting out here. I don’t quite understand what you mean. Possible to give a practical example
