Project EV car charger

Configuration
21

Hello,

I am trying to get this integration working.

Machine Type:
EVA-07S-SE

Firmware Version Num:
EVA-07S-SE-V6.2.12-20240816-UK (latest)

I have been trying to follow the instructions at Table of Contents — home-assistant-ocpp documentation

Host address and port

Do I use these settings or do i put the actual static IP of the charger?

  • The default host address ‘0.0.0.0’ will listen to all interfaces on your home assistant server.
  • The default port number is 9000 but can be changed for your needs.

If i put the IP it doesn’t find anything, if i leave as above 0.0.0.0 the integration as follows but all entities unavailable

Configure your Charger

  • Configure your charger to use the OCPP websocket of your Central System (e.g. ws://homeassistant.local:9000). This is charger specific, so consult your manual.

Unsure what to use here?

ws://homeassistant.local:9000

ws://projectevcharger.com:80/ocpp/ws

ws://charge.growatt.com:80/ocpp/ws

Any help I would appreciate

Solved, changed web socket to my HA IP address :9000

Does your ShinePhone app still work when you have your Thor Charger via OCPP into HA?

No, you either have OCPP integration with Homeassistant or you provider / app - not both.
Now if there was a relay so HA forwarded the data to the intended endpoint (and also 2 way comms to charger) then that would be useful (but very likely in breach of many T&C)

Hello,
Jumping on this thread as I am not getting answer from anywhere and hopefully one of you will know :slight_smile:

So I use the OCPP integration and it works well. I have configure the EV App using:

  • ws://homeassistant.local:9000

It works fine but in the app it also mentions an Authorization Key that needs to be 16 to 40 caracters long. I can ignore that field but…
I have no idea where to get that key so ask the Project EV people who told me that the key is coming form the provider (which I assume is the OCPP integration).
So where do I get that key and is it really important to have it? Does it add anything?
