2. Wallbox

Overview

This is a list of the currently known supported wallboxes. Below are the setup instructions for hardware and the EVCC configuration settings.

• Wallbe Eco
• Wallbe pre 2019 with Phoenix EV-CC-AC1-M3-CBC-RCM-ETH controllers
• OpenWB
• Any charger with Phoenix EM-CP-PP-ETH controllers
• Any charger with SimpleEVSE controllers connected via ModBus
• Any charger with SimpleEVSE controllers using SimpleEVSE-Wifi
• NRGKick chargers with Connect module
• go-eCharger
• KEBA KeContact P20/P30
• Mobile Charger Connect (Audi, Bentley, Porsche)

Device specific setup

Wallbe Eco

Hardware preparation

Wallbe chargers are supported out of the box. The Wallbe must be connected using Ethernet. If not configured, the default address 192.168.0.8:502 is used.

To allow controlling charge start/stop, the Wallbe physical configuration must be modified. This requires opening the Wallbe. Once opened, DIP 10 must be set to ON:

More information on interacting with Wallbe chargers can be found at GoingElectric. Use with care.

NOTE: The Wallbe products come in two flavors. Older models (2017 known to be "old", 2019 known to be "new") use the Phoenix EV-CC-AC1-M3-CBC-RCM controller. For such models make sure to set legacy: true. You can find you which one you have using MBMD:

mbmd read -a 192.168.0.8:502 -d 255 -t holding -e int 300 1

Compare the value to what you see as Actual Charge Current Setting in the Wallbe web UI. If the numbers match, it's a Phoenix controller, if the reading is factor 10x the UI value then it's a Wallbe controller.

NOTE: Opening the wall box must only be done by certified professionals. The box must be disconnected from mains before opening.

Example configuration:

chargers:
- name: wallbe
  type: wallbe
  uri: 192.168.0.8:502

Wallbe pre 2019

Example configuration:

chargers:
- name: wallbe
  type: wallbe
  legacy: true

OpenWB

Example configuration:

chargers:
- name: openwb
  type: openwb
  status:
    # with openWB, charging status (A..F) this is split between "plugged" and "charging"
    # the openwb type combines both into status (charging=C, plugged=B, otherwise=A)
    type: openwb
    plugged:
      type: mqtt
      topic: openWB/lp/1/boolPlugStat
    charging:
      type: mqtt
      topic: openWB/lp/1/boolChargeStat
  enabled:
    type: mqtt
    topic: openWB/lp/1/ChargePointEnabled
    timeout: 30s
  enable:
    type: mqtt
    topic: openWB/set/lp1/ChargePointEnabled
    payload: ${enable:%d}
  maxcurrent:
    type: mqtt
    topic: openWB/set/lp1/DirectChargeAmps

Phoenix EM-CP-PP-ETH controller

Hardware setup:
DIP switch 10 needs to be "on", DIP switch 7 needs to be "off" in order to enable control

Example configuration:

chargers:
- name: phoenix
  type: phoenix-emcp
  uri: 192.168.0.4:23
  id: 255 # only if different from default 180

Phoenix EV-CC-AC1-M controller

Example ModBus configuration if meter is directly connected:

chargers:
- name: phoenix
  type: phoenix-evcc
  id: 1
  device: /dev/ttyUSB0
  baudrate: 9600
  comset: "8N1"

Example ModBus configuration if meter is connected using RS485<->Ethernet adapter:

chargers:
- name: phoenix
  type: phoenix-evcc
  id: 1
  uri: 192.168.0.4:23

SimpleEVSE Modbus

Example configuration:

chargers:
- name: simpleevse
  type: simpleevse
  id: 1

SimpleEVSE

Example configuration:

chargers:
- name: evsewifi
  type: evsewifi
  uri: 192.168.0.4

NRGKick Connect

Example configuration:

chargers:
- name: nrgkick
  type: nrgkick
  uri: http://192.168.0.4

go-eCharger

Example configuration:

chargers:
- name: go
  type: go-e
  uri: http://192.168.0.4

KEBA KeContact

Hardware Preparation

Requires enabled UDP function with DIP switch 1.3 = ON, see installation manual.

Example configuration:

NOTE: rfid tag and serial tag are optional.
RFID enables EVCC to start charging even if the Wallbox was not unlocked using the chip/card.
Serial enables EVCC to communicate with the Wallbox when run in Docker. UDP-Port 7090 must be added to the Docker port settings!

chargers:
- name: keba
  type: keba
  uri: 192.168.0.4
  serial: 12345678
  rfid:
     tag: XXXXXXXX00000000

Mobile Charger Connect

NOTE: This charger does NOT support enabling or disabling charging. So the only useful modes are Sofort Laden and Min + PV!

Example configuration:

chargers:
- name: mcc
  type: mcc
  uri: 192.168.0.4
  password: homeuserpassword
