Installation

You can install this component with ESPHome external components feature like this:

external_components:
  - source: github://syssi/esphome-evse-wallbox@main

or just use the esp32-example.yaml as proof of concept:

# Install esphome
pip3 install esphome

# Clone this external component
git clone https://github.com/syssi/esphome-evse-wallbox.git
cd esphome-evse-wallbox

# Create a secrets.yaml containing some setup specific secrets
cat > secrets.yaml <<EOF

Debugging

If this component doesn't work out of the box for your device please update your configuration to enable the debug output of the UART component and increase the log level to the see outgoing and incoming serial traffic:

logger:
  level: DEBUG

uart:
  id: uart_0
  baud_rate: 9600
  tx_pin: ${tx_pin}
  rx_pin: ${rx_pin}
