Hm, i can choose all the stuff and push also the button (Dienst AusfĂŒhren), but nothing happens on my Keba Wall Box. What do I wrong?
Latest Home Assistant and Keba Integration is installed.

Matli, I runned also in to same behavior with a BMW Connect charger. After authentication was disabled (on the chargers webUI) charger started as soon cable was connected, and if I stopped charging with HA-app it just started again and again.
The solution to this was automatization.
So basically how my integration is setup:
When connected, do nothing.
When disconnect set curr to 6A.
Charging is later done ether manually by setting a current (6A-16A) or setting up a start time in a schedule card.
First post/answer here at community, I have however read almost everything on this page because I was stuck with a BMW connect (Keba P30) charger that was kind of useless after our beloved car brand decide to drop all support for it.
So I want to send big thank you to you, dannerph and all other contributors on KEBA integration.
With your help my charger works better than it ever could even with BMWs app.

Hey,
Did anyone manage to connect the BMW wall box gen4?
link for reference
Does it work with the input number number.abc_charging_current (âLadestrom setzenâ) ?
Maybe 22kW is too much for your model?
Is the new Keba P40 supported?
I donât think so. The P40 doesnât have an UDP interface which the core integration uses.
But it has Modbus TCP, or at least it will get it with a future update, so should be able to use that.
I have a P30 that sometimes works and sometimes doesnât. When it doesnât work, I get the following message:
Could not find a charging station at 10.0.51.155
After turning on debug logging, I think I know whatâs going on:
2024-08-08 20:22:55.873 DEBUG (MainThread) [keba_kecontact.keba_protocol] Asyncio UDP connection setup complete.

It looks like the response is received too late. My P30 is sadly only connected via WiFi, so I canât really do anything to test that theory.
Since this appears to be some kind of timeout, is there a way to increase it a bit?

Hi matli,
Iâm currently working on a python script that starts charging when api prices are low. I believe you have done the same and I am wondering if you could share how you achieved that?
I have the same problem. The integration with my P30 worked. But since today I always get the error message âhomeassistant.components.keba] Could not find a charging station at xxxâ
My Keba P30 is still reachable via the IP Adresse (Web UI) and also via the Keba Portal. So the connection might be slow but without any problems.
I raised an issue on GitHub, but it doesnât look like the situation will change anytime soon: Keba: "Slow" response leads to "Could not find a charging station" · Issue #124129 · home-assistant/core · GitHub
@vossibaer1978 The set charging power function will only work if the charging process is athenticated and if voltage measurements of the phases are available. Set_current will always work.
Fixed in latest update upstream in the official home assistant integration and since longer time also in the beta version (custom integration)
There seems to be a REST API mentioned in the Keba P40 docs here (14.8 âSmart Home interfaceâ), does anybody know more about that? I canât find any details.
The API will come with an update just like modbus iirc.
Wanted to check the 80 and 443 ports but now our wallbox doesnt want to connect with our LAN
Yes, I found it here: What additional features will be available in futures updates for the P40? - âfirst quarter of 2025â for Modbus support with release 1.2.0 .
@dannerph I just got started with Home Assist and this wonderful integration. Works like a charm. However I would like to use your dashboard that you created. Since Iâm new I have no idea on how to integrate these in my HA setup.
Hi @kurt-Biesemans
nice that it is working for you.
My current charging station card looks like the following (left with optimized charging off, right when optimized charging is on):
I have some automations and helper entities to calculate available surply PV production, control charging and stop charging when reaching SoC 90%. Depending on my âcharging modeâ and status of the charging station, different options are shown. During active charging, the UI changes as well, including the active charging power. Once the EV is plugged in, the cable is ârolled outâ 
You can check out the following configuration. It will not work out of the box as you probably do not have the exact same charging station and automation/helper entities in place. Still it might be helpful for inspiration.

I have also attached the background images here (first one is the blank.png image, thus not visible 
):
Hi @vic I like your dashboard but I cannot get it to work. I get these errors in the dashboard.
Hi,
about the error messages you need to install the custom components slider-entity-row and button-card through HACS.
The warning messages are because the entities are not enabled on your integration.
You have to go to the setup and check the Keba integration. Some entities might be disabled by default. You have to manually enable them in case.
