Easee EV charging station

@bortek A little heads up: The Equalizer does not support the E360 fully, so you won’t be getting kWh readings.

“It will be supported in the new firmware that will be available soon”
- Easee support 2022-09-02

:person_shrugging:

If you contact Easee support they can just update your equalizer remotely to the beta firmware and then you get kWh.

I was in contact with them, but I didn’t request getting a beta update specifically. Nor was I offered it.

Will contact them again.

Do you know for sure it will work with the Landis Gyr E360?

Thanks for the heads-up and more info. E360 is installed at my other house where I don’t plan to have Equilizer.

I am going to use it my other house where at the moment it is unknown which meter will be installed. Will know it in 2 months. It’s good to know that one can ask for a beta firmware, which I wil surely do if the readings will be off.

I compared the energy consumption I got from Tibber, and the consumption I got from calculating consumption based on current power usage captured by the Equalizer. The measurements didn’t match, one reason, I guess, is that the momentary measurement values where not provided fast enough - to compensate for that the interpolation had to be done, and the consumption started to diverge.

Anyhow, like other mentioned in this thread, I created a support request to the Easee support, and now I have an Easee <equalizer serial no> Import energy sensor which has values from my energy meter.

Thank you for this integration - set up and installed in minutes.

Is there a chance that this is available voor Home Assistant (docker) in the future.

Hi

For those that struggled like me to get the Voltage and Current per phase from Equalizer I am sharing below how I did it.

Make sure that sensor.equalizer_current and sensor.equalizer_voltage are enabled. For me they were disabled by integration.

In configuration.yaml add the following:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      equalizer_voltage_l1:
        value_template: "{{state_attr('sensor.equalizer_voltage','state_voltageNL1')}}"
        icon_template: mdi:sine-wave
        friendly_name: "Equalizer Voltage L1"
        unit_of_measurement: "V"
        device_class: voltage
      equalizer_voltage_l2:
        value_template: "{{state_attr('sensor.equalizer_voltage','state_voltageNL2')}}"
        icon_template: mdi:sine-wave
        friendly_name: "Equalizer Voltage L2"
        unit_of_measurement: "V"
        device_class: voltage
      equalizer_voltage_l3:
        value_template: "{{state_attr('sensor.equalizer_voltage','state_voltageNL3')}}"
        icon_template: mdi:sine-wave
        friendly_name: "Equalizer Voltage L3"
        unit_of_measurement: "V"
        device_class: voltage
      equalizer_current_l1:
        value_template: "{{state_attr('sensor.equalizer_current','state_currentL1')}}"
        icon_template: mdi:current-ac
        friendly_name: "Equalizer Current L1"
        unit_of_measurement: "A"
        device_class: current
      equalizer_current_l2:
        value_template: "{{state_attr('sensor.equalizer_current','state_currentL2')}}"
        icon_template: mdi:current-ac
        friendly_name: "Equalizer Current L2"
        unit_of_measurement: "A"
        device_class: current
      equalizer_current_l3:
        value_template: "{{state_attr('sensor.equalizer_current','state_currentL3')}}"
        icon_template: mdi:current-ac
        friendly_name: "Equalizer Current L3"
        unit_of_measurement: "A"
        device_class: current

Have the same problem, did you find any solution?

It looks like a bug somewhere.
Please create an issue in Issues · fondberg/easee_hass (github.com)

Hi Ranzor

See my post further down. Should solve it for you.

Solved!

Sent a Mail to Easee and they uppdated the equalizer and now it shows right :slight_smile:

Hi all,

I’ve been out of the loop for almost a year; have we gotten any closer to having Easee commit to a local version/access? For me, the Easee has a lot of strengths; but I’d never recommend it to anyone, due to the lack of local accessibility. Has anyone actually contacted them on this matter? Or should I, on behalf of the HA community?

Best,
Trixxr

There’s numerous local API requests in easee’s forums. They seem a bit reluctant to Implement it though…

Hi! I am trying to setup the EV Smart Charging integration with my VW ID.3 and Easee Charger. However, I do not find the switch for start charging in Easee. I assumed that such switch existed (like switch.easee_home.start_charging), but I can only interact with Smart charging on/off and to enable the charger on/off. Not the actual start of charging. What have I missed?

You can do that with an automation to pause/resume the charging. You will also need an automation to pause the charging when the cable is connected. If you disable the charger with the switch in HA you can no longer use rfid tags and so on.

It’s a service.

Hi people,

I’m trying to add the repository for this add on. But I don’t succeed. In the add-on store I click the three dots and choose Repositories. Then I past the github-link below, but I get a message that it is not a valid repository. I can add other github repos. I have just update to the last ha version (2022.12.1).

https://github.com/fondberg/easee_hass is not a valid add-on repository

Am I doing something wrong? Can other people add this repo?

It is not an add-on.
Recommended installation is to use HACS, download Easee integration and restart HA, Then goto Settings/integrations and add Easee integration and you should be on right track.

Thanks a lot! I’m migrating from Domoticz and exploring a whole new world. I confused HACS with third party add-ons. I’ll be installing HACS!
