You have to configure a charger!

[naltatis]

only add "SMA Speedwire", skip all other options

Yes, don't skip all other steps. Without a charger/loadpoint evcc doesnt work right now. We could add a warning in the configurator, but since we are working on replacing it with web UI we'll likely not invest effort there.

I don’t have a Charger for my car. I want to have Eccv as a connector between my SMA with Speedwire and HomeAssistant. Except the SMA, there is nothing I would like to configure in evcc.

Is there a dummy charger or one that does not work but let me use evcc this way?

[naltatis]

Yes, there is. See: https://docs.evcc.io/en/docs/faq/#can-i-try-out-evcc-without-all-the-components-pv-system-charger-

Thanks, i got somethings working now. Can i remove more options/info from the yaml then i already did?

And how do i make evcc send mqtt data to HomeAssistant?

[naltatis]

Yes, see the docs. evcc can write to mqtt. homeassistant can read from it.
