This is a custom component for Home Assistant to integrate the pulsatrix charger (v3) using the MQTT API (v2).
- install an MQTT Broker (preferrably Mosquitto). Either via "Addons" (if you use Home Assitant OS) or manually on your OS
- contact pulsatrix support and ask them to link the devices to the MQTT Broker
- they will ask you for the IP/Hostname of the MQTT Broker within the current network as it needs to be reachable from the charging controller
- in Home Assistant add the MQTT Integration and configure it to the freshly installed MQTT Broker
Use HACS to install this custom component.
- Clone the repo
- copy the folder custom_components/pulsatrix_local_mqtt to your custom_components folder
- restart Home Assistant
Use the Web UI (Config flow) to add the "pulsatrix" integration. You have to know the serial number (12 digits) of your device.
