Would it be possible to add evcharger devices, so i can include my wallboxes? Thank you very much!

I stopped using vrm at the Moment so i am not able to change this to the new Format. I cannot test it. I hope someone will take over 😉.

Looks like the thread went off topic and a working config was not verified for evcharger. Going forward, I am replacing the single services yaml file with separate config files for each service. It's in beta at the moment. I'm not going to try to merge in any more community changes to the services file only to have to migrate them later. I also need contributors to provide tests so that I can verify any new services work as I have no way of testing them.

I can confirm that this config is working (since a couple of month now)

It would be great to have it included, then the mqtt EV Charger user don't need to inlcude this manually after every upgrade of dbus_mqtt_devices.

@dersch81 Thanks for raising this again. This thread went so off topic it got lost. I think this service description still needs refinement. I will open a new issue and will propose some improvements. I would welcome your collaboration (and anyone else interested) on this.
