Solax EV Charger connect via HTTP

[lieglw]

Hi, I really like this project and something big is growing here. 👍
I would have request, is it possible to implement the communication over HTTP for Solax EV Charger. I have this running on my Home Assistant and it is amazing stable and easy to configure. No need for cables.
Thanks
Wolfgang

You can do that yourself using the custom charger.

For a custom charger you do need to program: https://docs.evcc.io/en/docs/devices/chargers#custom

@lieglw does it work?

Up to now no time and want to wait for the new update as the current one is not that good for the EV Charger.

Hello Wolfgang, could you please tell me how you added it to HA? Are there any ressources?

Hi, I am using this one from Patrik. I have two X3 EV Chargers and it's very stable. Never lost any connection.

thanks that works so far... did you do the "custom" charger for evcc or how do you manage your pv excess?

I have connected the EV Charger via modbus with the inverter. So can leave the system (inverter manage it) as it is or if wanted via automation e.g depending on energy price.
