Thank you for your help 
Now i have sett OCPP, automatically switch between solar panels and GRID in combination with weather forecast.

I created a new account and with this account I got access. Donât have any values yet since the charger is awaiting first usage, hope itâll work!
@hesselonline First of all, thank you very much for making this integration!
I started out by using the install right from HASS, but needed the lcok and pause function, so copied the files to customer components.
I have noticed, that the charging power sensor drops to 0 after ~5 minutes, even though it is still charging. This happens only now that I have installed through custom components, but it worked perfectly fine with the install through HASS integrations.
Do you see any reason why this would be?
Installed through HASS integrations:
Installed through files copied to custom components:
(Me stopping/starting it manually because I thought something was wrong. It was actually charging all along.)
With the consumption monitoring function (powerboost) i can read the total consumption of the home? Can be very useful!
I have the same question how to do that with Power Boost. Maybe connect directly using Modbus wire - but I do not know if it is possible to do - like connect parallel wires to Modbus - one wire into Pulsar plus and second one to âother deviceâ which will send data to HA. I saw somewhere some project using ESP32 chip⌠
Hello
I just bought myself a Wallbox Pulsar Plus, which I integrated into my Home Assistant core-2021.12.10 thanks to the Wallbox integration.
I can see the 11 sensors as well as 1 number, but unfortunately I donât see the switch.wallbox_portal_pause and the lock.wallbox_portal_lock!
I really tried everything to no avail.
On the other hand, I studied the Walbox code of the core of Home Assistant:
And I see that the switch.py ââfiles are missing as well as lock.py which is in your repository:
To validate my discovery, I went IN the Docker container of Home Assistant (docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash) to replace with a wget all the files of the core core-2021.12.10 of the wallbox component by the files of your deposit. After a restart of Home Assistant, I then have the switches and the lock of my Wallbox. And they are functional, I can load or pause my Wallbox from Home Assistant as well as lock it!
So my Wallbox works VERY well and it is indeed a lack of the two switch.py ââand lock.py files in the core-2021.12.10 version
So my questions:
-
How is it possible ?
-
Is it an oversight ?
-
Doesnât anyone want to be able to pause the Wallbox charging process or lock the Wallbox from Home Assistant, or am I the only one who wants to?
Thank you for your excellent work for the integration of the Wallbox in Home Assistant.
This is where it disappeared and never came back !

Hi, I think that this is the basic difference between the integrated solution (comes out of the box with HASS) and the custom component. Lock and switch have not been integrated into the out-of-the-box one, you will need to use the custom component for that functionality. End-goal is of course to stuff everything in the out-of-the-box experience.
No, I have the powerboost function and cannot do that.
No, do you still have this issue? Seems to be a connectivity issue.
Yes it is happening every day once or twice. It might be that I am using a cloudflare as a proxy server.
I have seen those message.
I had the HACS install and then started using the integrated solution. But then I did a cleanup by uninstalling the integrated solution and thoroughly deleting the HACS install (because I had issues with other integrations when going from HACS to integrated solution).
I believe they stopped showing after that. But Iâm not sure it is related.
I have a new issue, the charging power reports as 0 most of time the while charging. The charging works fine and the added energy (the integral of charging power) is reported correctly.
It must be on the Wallbox side of things though, because the Wallbox app has the same issue.
Anybody else?
yep same. though I tried again tonight and it seems to be working again.
Do you also see drop outs in status from charging or ready to offline and back again?
I had that with the HACS version so reverted to official.
just tried with the official integration. charger is working fine, but charging power read out only lasts a few mins then drops to 0kw in HA, but in the Wallbox App it reads ok at 7.xxkw
may need to be looked into for next update?
I donât know. I trace the power so I can easily see.
I used HACS and changed to official to try and solve the issue. It didnât.
I have seen the app report 0 as well, I do not recall seeing the app a number while HA reports 0.
I believe the issue is with WallBox. They react quickly to queries, but only with useless generic answers.
Did somebody try to emulate the PowerBoost-meter output with an ESP-board?
Currently I have all the metrics provided by the P1 port available in Home-Assistant and I would like to feed that into the Wallbox. Would save me the expensive PowerBoost meter which will measure exactly the same as the P1-port.
Should be feasible as the Modbus protocol is openly available from the PowerBoost meter (Carlo Gavazzi EM340):

Anyone tried this out yet?
Any chance you could share details on your setup?
I was thinking of doing the same thing (integrating grid, solar and weather forecasts) for a new install.
