Unlock Zappi from HA, Schedule charge from HA, Frontend lovelace card

[sabbie-github]

Thank you for the work on this integration - much appreciated! Would it be possible to add the functionality to:

• lock/unlock zappi from HA
• edit and activate charging schedule from HA?

Also, does anyone have a fully functional frontend lovelace card for Zappi? I am using the Charger Card from @tmjo, but that is written for a different charger and not specific to zappi. I have made some edits to make it fit, but I am only a beginner with next to no experience here. Anyone else have a better, all-in-one frontend card?

Could anyone help me get the boost/eco/eco+/stop selector working in code section "group1" so the dropdown actually calls the relevant service? I can't get it to work, probably @tmjo would know best, the original card is his great work I have tried to adapt here...

please show

customImage: /local/media/white_zappi-removebg-preview.png

found one at https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0551/6004/5615/products/zappi2_1200x1200.png?v=1642844080 but: where to put it?

[sabbie-github]

Go on file editor and load it to your local media directory that you will use to link w the above code I used code customImage: /local/media/white_zappi-removebg-preview.png Meaning I loaded the image to my local/media folder

[lhumb]

Ok -- I found the location inside my directories so that customImage: /local/media/zappi_white_223x302.png is displayed: /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/www/media/zappi_white_223x302.png

Thank you very much

Hi Guys, Are we any closer to adding a button to the integration to "unlock" the charger please?

Hi Guys, Are we any closer to adding a button to the integration to "unlock" the charger please?

I don't believe that's possible via the current myenergi API, so third party integrations are not going to be able to offer that functionality.

[AJediIAm]

@sabbie-github : A home assistant integration should be kept simple and only integrate (as the name suggests) 3rd party functionality in an home assistant eco system. Things like UI cards and scheduling are features which home assistant provides to varying degrees of genericness. In theorie, HA would only need one scheduling componenten in stead of each EV charger integration building their own.

I'm aware that Zappi has also scheduling capabilities, but as far as I know, this is not exposed through the API.

[rastislavpapp]

@AJediIAm , scheduling is exposed, see https://myenergi.info/endpoints-for-setting-zappi-boost-timers-t951.html ... I've just tried it and it works.

+1 for the feature request than ;)

https://github.com/CJNE/pymyenergi/commit/04e932dc61d7173bafb1565825e0a14bb16733ba adds the command to the underlying API integration...

Also, cross ref #95

[narjekdjcusbe]

It looks like this has been released - how do we access it in the integration? I can't find any sensor/state/entity/action to view or change the locked status. Am I missing something?

[G6EJD]

It has to be added, so you need to wait for the author to do the work, or propose the change yourself having worked out the new code requirements.

Would be really nice if someone would be able to add this
