Home Assistant Addon

important

The evcc Home Assistant addon is a community integration and is not officially supported by the evcc maintainers. The reason for this is that important data cannot simply be made available in the event of an error (missing evcc cli).

This guide describes the installation of evcc as a Home Assistant addon. Unlike the Linux installation or Docker installation, you don't need command line knowledge here.

Prerequisites​

You need a Home Assistant installation with the Addon Store enabled. Depending on your installation type, this feature might not be available. See Home Assistant Documentation for more information.

Installation​

  1. Click on Settings → Addons → Add-on Store
  2. Click on the three dots → Repositories
  3. Add the repository URL and click Add 
    https://github.com/evcc-io/hassio-addon
  4. Reload the webpage
  5. Find the evcc addon and click on it
  6. Click on the INSTALL button

Configuration File​

Go to Information menu in the "evcc" Addon and activate "show in side bar" (evcc UI http://your-ha-instance-ip-address:7070)

Go to Configuration menu and select your working directory (example):

- config_file: /config/evcc.yaml
- sqlite_file: /data/evcc.db

Leave the Network section unchanged.

Create an evcc configuration file evcc.yaml in your Home Assistant root configuration folder (/homeassistant). Under Configuration you'll find instructions on how to create this.

Updates​

The update to the latest version of evcc is integrated into the Home Assistant update process.

Next Step: Integration​

Once your system is running, you can set up the integration between evcc and Home Assistant. Under Integrations → Home Assistant you'll find more information. You can visualize evcc data in Home Assistant or create automations based on evcc.
