  • Get detailed real-time device status: andersen_ev.get_device_status (results displayed in UI)
• Live grid power sensors for those without smart meters.

Installation

HACS (Recommended)

1. Make sure HACS is installed in your Home Assistant instance.
2. Add this repository as a custom repository in HACS:
   • Navigate to HACS → Integrations → Menu (⋮) → Custom repositories
   • Add https://github.com/lwsrbrts/hassio-andersen-ev as a repository
   • Select Integration as the category
3. Click "Add"
4. Search for "Andersen EV" in HACS and install it
5. Restart Home Assistant
6. Add the integration via the Home Assistant UI (Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration)
7. Search for "Andersen EV" and follow the configuration steps

Manual Installation

1. Download the repository as a zip file and extract it.
2. Copy the andersen_ev folder to your Home Assistant custom_components directory.
3. Restart Home Assistant.
4. Add the integration via the Home Assistant UI by providing your Andersen user account user name and password.

Services

The integration provides the following services:

disable_all_schedules

Disables all charging schedules for a specified device.

Example:

service: andersen_ev.disable_all_schedules
data:
  device_id: "YOUR_DEVICE_ID"

get_device_info

Retrieves detailed information about a device and displays the results directly in the Home Assistant UI. This service uses Home Assistant's new Action API that allows returning data to the user interface.

Example:

service: andersen_ev.get_device_info
data:
  device_id: "YOUR_DEVICE_ID"

get_device_status

Retrieves detailed real-time status of a device and displays the results directly in the Home Assistant UI. This provides more comprehensive status information than what is available through the sensors.

Example:

service: andersen_ev.get_device_status
data:
  device_id: "YOUR_DEVICE_ID"

Future development

Frankly depends on whether or not I sell my house (with the charger).
