Hi,
I successfully integrated an Elli / VW ID. Charger Pro into HomeAssistant.
As there already is an integration for ioBroker and I am not able to program an integration for HomeAssistant myself, I used the following method:
install ioBroker add-on for HomeAssistant (see GitHub - MaxWinterstein/homeassistant-addons ) or set up a separate ioBroker instance
important: if using the ioBroker add-on, go to the add-on configuration and set port 8087 to be forwarded
in ioBroker, install the vw-connect add-on and set it up
in ioBroker, install the simple-api add-on and set it up
in HomeAssistant, set up sensors for the parameters you wish to see.
I assume that your ioBroker instance is reachable at 192.168.178.50.

Hi,
yesterday the ID Charger update with EEBUS support was released, any chance to integrate the box directly without using the ioBbroker add-on?
Thx and regards

Itâs been a couple of years - is this still the way to go to integrate ID Charger Pro to HA?
Just bought the charger (price was too good) and thinking about how to get the most value out of itâŚ
sadly i had to use https://evcc.io/ to integrate it into home assistant
Should be possible to communicate from ha to elli via modbus directly, but it has to be implemented =(

Thanks, this looks like an interesting choice, you can run it on docker I guess
And you used this: GitHub - evcc-io/hassio-addon: Hass.io add-on for EVCC âŚto integrate it to HA?

Interested in the answer tooâŚlooking into that add-on, seems like it just installs evcc and nothing else. So I assume the integration to HA happens via MQTT. Evcc configuration has this section:
# mqtt message broker
mqtt:
# broker: localhost:1883
# topic: evcc # root topic for publishing, set empty to disable
# user:
# password:
No i am Using Home Assistant Docker => I used the docker evcc with this config:
# open evcc at http://evcc.local:7070
network:
schema: http
host: evcc.local # .local suffix announces the hostname on MDNS

But i would recommend another system to create your own one:
To get the entities in HA i have this packages/evcc.yaml file

homeassistant:

Because of the enormous power usage when my car is connected i build into the wallbox a Shelly Plus 1 Mini which seperate the CP cable to simulate that the car isnât connectedâŚ
And then I made an automation which take the shelly into account:
