LiveWire S2

This page shows the nightly version. Switch to the release version.

evcc reads the charging state through the cloud API of the LiveWire app. It only answers devices that have been paired with the motorcycle once. The livewire-pair.py script (Python 3, no extra packages) performs the pairing. It asks for your credentials and the code the motorcycle shows on its display, then prints the device UUID to enter here. You need to be at the motorcycle with the ignition on once.

The motorcycle only reports "plugged in" once the charger is powered. Automatic vehicle detection is therefore disabled by default.

Parameters

NameDescriptionValueLevel
userUsername

e.g. email address, user id, etc.

optional
passwordPassword

Service account password

optional
deviceuuidDevice UUID

Printed by the pairing script from github.com/j4velin/livewire-pairing. A different UUID needs pairing at the motorcycle again.

Example: 6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8
optional
vinVehicle Identification Number

If you own multiple vehicles from the same manufacturer

Example: W...
optional
titleTitle

Will be displayed in the user interface

optional
capacity [kWh]Battery capacity
Default: 10.5
Example: 50
optional
iconIcon

Will be displayed in the user interface

Default: motorcycle
advanced
phasesMaximum number of phases

Used to determine the minimum solar surplus and plan duration.

advanced
minCurrent [A]Minimum current

The minimum current per connected phase that can be used

Example: 6
advanced
maxCurrent [A]Maximum current

The maximum current per connected phase that can be used

Example: 16
advanced
maxPower [W]Maximum charging power hint

Defines the maximum charging power of the vehicle. Helps improve charge plan accuracy when the vehicle typically uses less than the offered current or supports higher single-phase current compared to three-phase. The offered current of the loadpoint is not affected.

Example: 10000
advanced
identifiersRFID identification

Used to assign the vehicle to a loadpoint via RFID card. The identifier is shown on the loadpoint. Copy the value from there. Learn more.

advanced
priorityPriority

Priority of the loadpoint or vehicle in relation to other loadpoints or vehicles for allocating surplus energy (higher values, higher priority).

advanced
cacheCache

Time interval for data refresh

Default: 15m
Example: 5m
advanced
climaterdisabledDisable climater detection

Ignore the vehicle's climater state for charge control, so charging stops at the SoC or energy limit even when the vehicle signals an active climater request.

advanced
autodetectdisabledExclude from auto detection

Ignore the vehicle for auto detection of connected vehicles

Default: true
advanced
wakeupdisabledDisable wake-up calls

Do not send wake-up calls to the vehicle or charger, useful for vehicles that refuse to charge after repeated wake-ups.
