MQTT Problem

[Dengo91]

Hi, i try to get in running but it will not work so fare. I used the following steps but i can´t see data like in step 6 described. is there something that is not described?

1. Use HACS to install this custom component
2. Restart HA
3. Make sure you have an MQTT Broker (e.g. Mosquitto broker) and a working MQTT integration in HA
4. (Recommended) Access to messages on MQTT Broker via client such as MQTT Explorer
5. Enable the MQTT API of your charger at the go-eCharger App
   Internet -> Advanced settings -> scroll to bottom -> Enable MQTT API (See also here)
   at the field URL enter your MQTT broker URL, e.g. mqtt://192.168.178.3:1883 for a broker running on a server with IP 192.168.178.3 on default port 1883 alt text
   (optional) Add MQTT keys and certificates as needed
   Press the SAVE symbol in the top right to apply the settings
6. (Optional) Make sure you see a new topic on the MQTT broker using your MQTT client
   New messages appear under go-eCharger/[your serial number]/
7. In HA, add new integration
   Settings -> Devices & services -> ADD INTEGRATION -> go-eCharger (MQTT)
   enter serial number (6 digits) of your device (find via App or MQTT client)
   make sure base topic matches what you see in the MQTT broker, in some cases the default /go-eCharger has to be changed to go-eCharger
8. See your go-e data pour into HA

Could you post a screenshot of the incoming data? I would like to double check the topic. Does it start with a slash or not? Does it include the serial number?

[Dengo91]

you mean this?

[syssi]

Yes. Is your MQTT broker (192.168.178.88) able to accept connection without a username & password? If not the URL should look like this:

mqtt://username:[email protected]:1883

oh yes that was the problem :). Thank you for your support

ok i have another question:). How i can use the Charge with PV Surplus. I have a sensor for my pv produktion.

PV Surplus charging is a really big and complex topic depending on your setup. Please read as much as possible and talk to the community.

These are the most active discussions I'm aware of:
