Garo Wallbox (EVSE)

Hi!
I have not yet upgraded HACS to 2.0 since I’m afraid the Garo Wallbox integration will fail. Is there someone who has upgraded and can tell if it just works?

Just tried to update… HomeAssistant starts up, but the HACS page shows: Unable to load the panel source: /hacsfiles/frontend/entrypoint.js?hacstag=20240119163101.

… and the whole system seems to be sluggish and slow…

I will try to make some faultfinding, otherwise I will use my backup created just before.

EDIT False alarm, When started to faultfinding I saw a notice somewhere in HA that HACS needed to be updated once more, and HA restarted… after that everything seems to work as normal… :slight_smile:

Hi!
I´m new to HM. So I apologize for a stupid question. In HACS you can download Garo Wallbox. Is this Wallbox valid for Entity Pro?

Hi,
I have not had any experience with the Entity lineup. Does it come with a local web ui, or are you stuck with the Garo Connect App?

Hi!

As @baloba wrote in a previous post in this thread, Garo Entity has a local Swagger API, only for monitoring and setting parameters. Then there is the Cloud API, which I have not figured out how to use/login.

Yes, the cloud API docs I’ve seen… You probably need to extract the OAuth secrets from the app to be able to authenticate.
I’ve not seen the local API, I do not have any access to an Entity charger, but I’ve tried reaching out to Garo (haven’t heard anything yet).

Sorry!
I don’t know what “a local web ui” is. Can you explain?

@peterlundin55 from what I’ve gathered, there doesn’t seem to be any local web ui for the entity chargers.
For my GLB I can navigate to http://<charger-ip>:8080/serialweb/ and I get a basic interface where I can control the charger:

I want to try your suggested web address but I don’t know what “serial web” stands for?

I have a Entity PRO and are using the REST local API. Only able to config and read sponsors, from both the Entity PRO and Balance Basic. By connecting to each of them by their IP-address.

Unfortunately there is no possibility to control the charger by using the local API, what I have found out. Mabey you need to use the OCCP functionality for controlling the charger.

Thanks for the information. So I have to wait and see what’s happened.

Is it possible to commit an instant fetch from the charger when a change is issued?
Normally, frequent updates from the charger are not needed, but e.g. when you change from ALWAYS_OFF to ALWAYS_ON it would be nice if the interface is updated immediately.
