# Go-eCharger Binding
This Binding controls and reads data from the Go-eCharger (opens new window). It is a mobile wallbox for charging EVs and has an open REST API for reading data and configuration. The API must be activated in the Go-eCharger app.
# Supported Things
This binding supports Go-eCharger HOME+ with 7.4kW, 11kW or 22kW. The Go-eCharger HOMEfix with 11kW and 22kW is supported too.
# Thing Configuration
The thing has three configuration parameters:
Parameter | Description | Required |
---|---|---|
ip | The IP-address of your Go-eCharger | yes |
apiVersion | The API version to use (1=default or 2) | no |
refreshInterval | Interval to read data, default 5 (in seconds) | no |
The apiVersion 2 is only available for Go-eCharger with new hardware revision (CM-03).

# Setting charge current of Go-eCharger based on photovoltaik output
You can easily define rules to charge with PV power alone. Here is a simple sample how such a rule could look like:
rule "Set max amps for PV charging"
when
Item availablePVCurrent received update
then
logInfo("Amps available: ", receivedCommand.state)
GoEChargerMaxCurrentTemp.sendCommand(receivedCommand.state)
end
Advanced example:
rule "Set charging limit for go-eCharger"
when
Time cron "*/10 * * ? * *" // Trigger every 10 seconds
then
var actualMaxChargingCurrentInt = (GoEChargerMaxCurrent.state as Number).intValue
if (GoEChargerExcessCharge.state == ON) {
var currentChargingPower = GoEChargerPowerAll.state as Number
var totalPowerOutputInWatt = (Total_power_fast.state as DecimalType) * 1000
var availableChargingPowerInWatt = 0
if (totalPowerOutputInWatt > 0 && currentChargingPower > 0) {
// take care if already charging
availableChargingPowerInWatt = currentChargingPower.intValue - totalPowerOutputInWatt.intValue
} else {
if (totalPowerOutputInWatt > 0) {
totalPowerOutputInWatt = 0
}
availableChargingPowerInWatt = (totalPowerOutputInWatt.intValue * -1) + currentChargingPower.intValue
}
var maxAmp3Phases = (availableChargingPowerInWatt / 3) / 230
if (maxAmp3Phases > 16.0) {
maxAmp3Phases = 16.0
}
var maxAmp1Phase = availableChargingPowerInWatt / 230
if (maxAmp3Phases >= 6) {
// set force state to neutral (Neutral=0, Off=1, On=2)
if (GoEChargerForceState.state != 0) {
GoEChargerForceState.sendCommand(0)
}
// 3 phases
if (GoEChargerPhases.state != 3) {
GoEChargerPhases.sendCommand(3)
}
if (actualMaxChargingCurrentInt != maxAmp3Phases.intValue) {
GoEChargerMaxCurrent.sendCommand(maxAmp3Phases.intValue)
// logInfo("eCharger", "Set charging limit 3 Phases: " + maxAmp3Phases.intValue + " A")
}
} else {
if (maxAmp1Phase.intValue >= 6 ) {
// set force state to neutral (Neutral=0, Off=1, On=2)
if (GoEChargerForceState.state != 0) {
GoEChargerForceState.sendCommand(0)
}
// switch to 1 phase -> check if this is useful
if (GoEChargerPhases.state != 1) {
GoEChargerPhases.sendCommand(1)
}
if (actualMaxChargingCurrentInt != maxAmp1Phase.intValue) {
GoEChargerMaxCurrent.sendCommand(maxAmp1Phase.intValue)
// logInfo("eCharger", "Set charging limit 1 Phase: " + maxAmp1Phase.intValue + " A")
}
} else {
// switch off
if (GoEChargerForceState.state != 1) {
GoEChargerMaxCurrent.sendCommand(6)
GoEChargerForceState.sendCommand(1)
// logInfo("eCharger", "Switch charging off")
}
}
}
} else {
// set force state to neutral (Neutral=0, Off=1, On=2)
if (GoEChargerForceState.state != 0) {
GoEChargerForceState.sendCommand(0)
}
if (GoEChargerPhases.state != 3) {
GoEChargerPhases.sendCommand(3)
}
if (actualMaxChargingCurrentInt != 16) {
GoEChargerMaxCurrent.sendCommand(16)
}
}
end
You can also define more advanced rules if you have multiple cars that charge with a different amount of phases.
For example if your car charges on one phase only, you can set maxAmps to output of PV power, if your car charges on two phases you can set maxAmps to pv output / 2
, and for 3 phases pv output / 3
.
In general the calculation would be ´maxAmps = pvOutput / phases`.
