Multiple Standalone Wallboxes

[UU0113]

Hello,

I've 2 standalone Wallboxes which are not linked for reasons I want to add to Home Assistant. I tried to added the second one by simply creating another connection in mosquitto.conf but it does not seem to work.

Can you help?

Hi, I never tested this since I only have one WB. However, this should work. In the MQTT server which is connected to HA, create a bridge to the MQTT server of the 1st and 2nd wallbox. For each bridge, you should configure a seperate prefix.

When adding the openWB integration in HA, the configuration dialogue asks for a prefix --> enter it here.

For more information regarding mosquitto bridge, please refer to this excellent guide: http://www.steves-internet-guide.com/mosquitto-bridge-configuration/ topic topic pattern direction QOS local prefix

Thanks. Got it working after a while.

Please note it's readonly for HA. In case you need to write (=control OpenWB via HA), replace the word "in" with "both"...

Code:

_connection openwb address openwb.fritz.box:1883 start_type automatic topic # in 0 openWB/ openWB/ local_clientid openwb.mosquitto remote_clientid openwb.core-mosquitto try_private false cleansession false keepalive_interval 5 allowanonymous true

_connection openwb2 address openwb2.fritz.box:1883 start_type automatic topic # in 0 openWB2/ openWB/ local_clientid openwb2.mosquitto remote_clientid openwb2.core-mosquitto try_private false cleansession false keepalive_interval 5 allowanonymous true
