Hi!

Nice project, how can I configure the plug in?

I don't know the port of the charger.

Thank you!

Hi,

I updated the Readme. For me the port is 3333, but I don't know if that applies globally. If not, then an easy way would be to do a port scan to see which ports respond and try each of them.

I'm calling this a "Homekit.sh plugin" but I assume you probably want to use this as scripts only, in which case configuring address and port is enough. Maybe you also want to integrate this to a home automation platform you are already using (Home Assistant with Shell Command, Homebridge with Cmd4, ...) which should be even trivial if you have done it before. If you want to try out Homekit.sh, sure, but note that it's work-in-progress and comes with its own burden :)

Did I answer at the level of detail you expected? Please let me know if there's something more I could do for you!

Thank you @jyrimatti.

I have been investigating and I have the same port.

I will check messages and format and I will be back with my charger model and some info.

I don't have to much free time, so it will take time.

I have home assistant, so my objective is to be able to (first) monitor and (later, maybe) optimize car charging using electricity price.

Thank you for your help
