Smappee integration: control charging point

Feature Requests
21

If anyone is still trying to control their smappee charger trough Home Assistant for solar or dynamic pricing optimized charging, I made a basic integration installable trough HACS/custom repo. For now it does about the same as @brodykenrick 's app, it exposes a Home Assistant service (now called action by the way) to set the charging speed. You can find the repo here : GitHub - scruysberghs/home-assistant-smappee-charging-profiles

You have mode NORMAL (that allows you to set charging power in AMPERE or PERCENTAGE), SMART en PAUSED)
But feel free to go over the other availalbe EV line api’s here https://smappee.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DEVAPI/pages/2804875635/EV+Line and let me know if there is anything else you would like to see implemented in home assistant.
Or feel free to expand functionality yourself of course :slight_smile:
Basicly setting charging speed and mode is all I need for now, I might look at adding a slider and mode selector for the ui in the integration if I find the time.

another option to look at is setting op the evcc.io addon + integration and point your smappee OCPP backend to that. Haven’t tried myself but should be possible. Too bad smappee support has to whitelist a OCPP backend adres before you can use it with your own equipment… That together with the fact that realtime data is not availalble trough the api smells a bit like trying to protect an ecosystem from Smappee’s side… Long way away from what the open home foundation en Home Assistant stands for.

Looks very nifty. Good work.

I’ll have a look (one day) to see if I can extend it for my use cases easily.

For the OCPP path note that Smappee didn’t support setting a charge rate over OCPP (unless they added it in the last year). Essentially just on/off and whatever value it had previously. I used that for a while but eventually I wanted more flexibility.
