i started an implementation, which is untested yet but i have a running NRGKick gen2 charger with an activated JSON api, so i could double check the used types, values and endpoints

[Ahhpaddy]

Hello I can test, I have 2 Nrgkick 's. But I don't know how to setup my evcc.yaml Can you maybe explain how to do that?

I'm on v0.128.2

Hi @Ahhpaddy ,

if u want to test the implementation, currently you need to compile the project locally with my feature branch, because my implementation hasn't been merged and released with official EVCC yet.

Also you need to have an activated JSON API in your nrgkicks.

Configuration in Evcc.yaml would look like

chargers:
  - name: nrgkick-gen2
    type: template
    template: nrgkick-gen2
    host: <ip or host name of your nrgkick-gen2> 

[Ahhpaddy]

I already activated the API to get some values into Iobroker.

How can I compile locally?

Can you pls give me short Instructions?

Thank you

[wobu]

you have to check out my https://github.com/wobu/evcc/tree/feature/nrgkick-gen2-charger

then follow the instruction in CONTRIBUTING.md.

If you use Windows its gets bit complicated. I couldn't use a working Make installation for windows so i had to execute the build commandy manually.

this needs to be done once:

npm ci
go install github.com/dmarkham/enumer
go install go.uber.org/mock/mockgen

then for compiling evcc after every code change

npm run build
go build

then u will get an executable of evcc which u can run

I used this config template and it works perfect, using the nightly build!

chargers:
  - name: NRGKickG2
    type: template
    template: nrggen2
    host: 192.168.1.23

Change the host to you're own ip 😉
