Hello, can this integration be used to control the charging current?

Thanks, now I have my Easee charger’s in HA. Can start an stop charging. Do you have plans to implement control of effects also?

Im having issues (I think) with my equalizer only sending updates to the cloud (and HA) every 2-3 minutes.
If I open the easee app I get updates very frequently both to the app and also HA.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Hi all.
I seriously doubt this has anything to do with any integrations to HA, but as this is a channel where I assume many of you enjoy the possibility of triggering your charging through HA I would love to hear if anyone has had the same problem and found a solution for it.
Since a few days my chargebox access goes off every now and then (I haven’t been able to find the reason for this). What this means is that the charger is off and needs to be activated in the Easee app before I can start my charging session from HA. This means I will have to start my charging manually (yes, you heard me right, manually!) through the Easee app, which is a bit of a step back compared to just plugging the car in and let it charge on the cheapest hours through the night.
Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution for it?
Edit: Solved. I have up til now been using the switch.chargebox_is_enabled to start and stop charging. This no longer works (apparently!) and the solution is to instead use easee.action_command with either ‘pause’ or ‘resume’.

I´m late to the party here, but…
I´ve been having serious problems lately with using my Tibber Pulse as a load balancer to my Easee charger lately and today it finally died. RIP.
I´m getting a Shelly Pro 3EM instead to monitor my phase load and was hoping that I somehow can use that as a load balancer and change the chargers dynamic limit based on the on the overall usage of the rest of the house. Is that possible or can it just turn the charger on/off based on this?
Serious HA newbie here, although I´ve been using it for a couple of years now but not for anything complicated 
Thanks in advance!
I have nearly the same setting with EVCC between (costs 2$/month). Works perfectly.
interested too
Did you manage to find a solution @toem ?
Could this integration be used to log all charging done daytime (6-22?).
I have installed the integration and can see all the 21 chargers we have in our system. But Easee Cloud can not handle different tariffs at different times of the day even though they have promised its “in progress” for quite some time. Most users only charge daytime only when needed but the hybrid owners do need to charge mostly daytime to be ready for more driving later the same day and need to be charged for the extra costs.
I could create a helper that is a schedule 6-22 weekdays, and the state would be on during peak hours.
As of today I browse all the charging logs to collect the data manually which was fine when there was one charging session here and there but its now becoming unmanagable.
I’m using the easee charge lite and the integration. It is connected to 3 phases, but my EV only supports 1 phase. I don’t have an equalizer. Now, I would like to choose the phases myself, because the easee is currently using a phase that is already busy. Can this be done via HA or another method for this?
That would be great. It takes up to 10 minutes for the equalizer to update. Only for big changes it is instant. A forced update would be great. Especially if that could also be done outside the cloud…
I came across this thread and noticed there are quite a few people here, like me, who either don’t want to use off-the-shelf solutions like the Equalizer, or simply can’t for one reason or another.
I’ve been building a small project to tackle this, basically a “universal EV charger load balancer”, which I’m currently using myself to control my Easee Charger Lite via Home Assistant, based on DSMR data already collected by HASS. It’s still in early testing, but the idea is to support more chargers and energy input sources over time. Some of the things I’m aiming for:
- Load balancing between multiple chargers, regardless of brand
- (Smart) Phase control
- Better self-consumption of solar, if preferred
- Support for dynamic pricing to charge when it’s cheap
Right now it’s just me testing it, but I’d love to hear from others who might want to try it or share what kind of features and setups they’d need. The more perspectives, the better.
Anyone interested in testing along and sharing some feedback as well as their use-cases, before I publish the component officially?

I have a Easee and am using DSMR data for P1 metering. I’d love to set the dynamic limit on the Easee based on the sun. I don’t have a dynamic energy provider so basically it is expensive to load the car during peak hours. I only want to load it with solar energy.
Is this something your load balancer can help with? because if it does, i very much would like to help with testing.
That’s the plan, absolutely. Currently I’ve only implemented actual load balancing to prevent the main fuses from blowing, but the next step would be to implement solar charging, followed by dynamic control based on prices.
I can ping you as soon as I have the first release done.

Yes, definitely!
Hey Martijn, I’m interested in testing this, I have the same charger and have both the `eqilizer and the Homewizzard P1 dongle connected to my smartmeter. The HW P1 dongle is integrated in Home Assistant, In the future I would like to use HA to charge my car on Solar or Dynamic tarif, combined with a connection to my carr and sceduled agenda. My car is not connected, I’m looking into the OVMS integration to read the SOC of the car.
