Ohme car charger integration

Hi @psketch @dan-r - how was the unknown error occurred on installation resolved as I have the same issues. I checked the issues on Github but can’t see anything there.
Thanks

For new users, I’d recommend using the core version of the Ohme integration. If you’re running 2025.1.0 or higher you can just add your Ohme account without installing anything.

Thanks for the quick response @dan-r , sadly i get the same issue there. I have reset my password and checked it on my phone app numerous times but as soon as I go to install the integration it asks for my credentials and that’s where the error occurs. Also the official version doesn’t appear to have the same functionalities as the HACS version but i guess that is you catching up on the cross over?

@sskelbow for me it was a https/http problem. I run my HA instance behind a nginx reverse proxy and access it via this internally as well as externally (internally, the local DNS maps the url to a 192… address whereas the public dns is the external address). The login page is I guess is redirecting to an http address and it doesn’t want to display that within a frame within an https window. Once I’d figured it out, I just installed the integration by logging in to the HA instance via http and then once installed, it runs fine via https.

HTTP/HTTPS shouldn’t make a difference as all the login happens in code and not in the browser. It’s worth making sure you’re using an Ohme account and not a Google/Apple account to sign in. Also if you’re using a password manager, make sure it’s filling the password field correctly.

Thanks Both - I am typing the password in from my iphone (set up to use email as the account id and which logs into Ohme OK) to the HA credentials box. Character by character so not sure what is happening. Will continue to investigate

@dan-r @psketch got it sorted thanks probably a noob error in that i had lost connectivity to the internet from HA. So i was interpreting the error as a credential failure when in fact they were never getting presented to Ohme! Sorry for wasting your time

I am using the hacs version still as removed the hacs one before the ha update and when I try to add core version it says already configured but it does not show up lol

I’m also missing the pause functionality …are there plans to add it?

It’ll be in the 2025.2.0 release which is open to beta testing now.

Good morning.

The core Home integration is working very well for me.

Not sure if this is the right place for feature type requests/discussion (apologies for etiquette break if not)

EDIT - Looks like you can now have multiple car profiles saved in the Ohme app. Would be useful to be able to switch between them from within HA

Hi, does anyone have a clear answer as to whether the Ohme ePod can have its charging current controlled on-the-fly by Home assistant integration? I generally have around 1.5 kw of spare solar during the day I would like to redirect, but it does not pay me to charge the car (my night tariff would work out so much cheaper than the 7.6kw-1.5kw effective day rate). My solar and grid readings are already integrated via Shelly.

I don’t yet have an EV charger (UK compatible), trying to work out what would be the best to get with full charge current control via home assistant.

Loving the Ohme integration!! Currently still using the HACs version as waiting for the “Online” sensor that the HACs has… keep up the good work @dan-r !!

@Brentus vehicle switching has been delivered to dev so will be in the next Home Assistant release

@southwalesboy I’m not 100% sure. Where it’s now possible to switch between different profiles in the Ohme app and Home Assistant, this should be possible as you can give different vehicle profiles different charge limits. I’ll test it out.

@Tris_Liddle-White the Online sensor won’t be added to the core version. When I initially contributed the integration I was asked to change it so that all entities show as unavailable if the charger reports as offline. You could make a template binary sensor that checks for Status not being unknown if you really needed this.

Thanks @dan-r for the reply! OK, understood.
I was using it to determine the quality of my Ohmes internet connection as it quite often goes through patches of uselessness where I would just decide to schedule the charge session within the off peak times of my tariff. In addition I was using it as a condition of sending a charge target when my vehicle moved into the home zone, hoping the integration/home assistant handles sending values when the charger is offline. I will upgrade and experiment at some point. Thanks!

This is a great integration, but is there some way to toggle the so called Routines that we’ve created in the Ohme app? I often flip between a routine that gives me 80% charge by 7am and one that gives me a 100% if I’m doing a longer trip. It would be great if I could flip these on and off using a HA dashboard button. I know I could use a script to set the same parameters but then the Routine in the Ohme app would not match what I’d set via HA.

I think it’d be pretty hard to surface all the routines from the interface, and also not sure how useful that would be generally, but I could add in a service call that lets you enable/disable a routine by name?

That would be useful, thanks

Fairly new to HA and struggling with a steep learning curve so I apologise for what for many will I’m sure be a stupid question. I initially installed the original Ohme intergration through HACs using the instructions provided and it worked well. Now I need to update to the new version embedded within HA core and I am stumped.

I have deleted and removed (as far as I can tell) the old version but I am at a loss as to how I setup the new version. As I understand, having updated amy HA to core 2025.3.4 I should now have the new version as part of my HA installation. My question and problem is where do I find it and how do I set it up. All I can find is the statement “simply add your Ohme account through the Home Assistant UI”. I know I am being thick but in idiots terms, what does this mean.

Hope someone can help.

If you go to Settings > Devices & services > Add integration in Home Assistant, you should be able to search for Ohme and add your account from there
