Home Assistant custom component to create sensors with information on the available EV Charging Station in a chosen area. This custom component has been built from the ground up to bring public site data to compare and save on your EV prices and integrate this information into Home Assistant. This integration is built against the public websites provided by Eneco.com and other similar sites. Sensors will be created for nearest stations of different speeds and availability.
Currently supporting charging stations in EU from Eneco and Shell.
This integration is in no way affiliated with Eneco.com. This integration is based on my other Carbu.com custom integration, which brings similar functionality for fuel/gas stations.
Large parts of the code base has been based on the Shell Recharge custom integration. The same functionality is available, but has been extended to support Eneco charging stations and to automatically find the stations that matches criteria.
For electricity price expectations this Entso-E HACS integration can be used.
With this integration it will be possible to:
- subscribe to specific charging point, to make it possible to get notified once available
- get sensors (can be shown on map) with:
- charging station nearest to location (straight line distance)
- available charging station nearest to location
- high speed charging station nearest to location
- high speed available charging station nearest to location
- super high speed charging station nearest to location
- super high speed available charging station nearest to
TODO : find cheapest charging station:
- cheapest charging stations and nearest to location
- available cheapest charging stations and nearest to location
- high speed charging station cheapest and nearest to location
- high speed available cheapest charging stations and nearest to location
- super high speed cheapest charging station and nearest to location
- super high speed available cheapest charging station and nearest to location
- HACS: search for Carbu in the default HACS repo list or use below button to navigate directly to it on your local system and install via HACS.
- Restart Home Assistant
- Add 'EV Charging Stations' integration via HA Settings > 'Devices and Services' > 'Integrations'
- Choose the type of charging station to setup: nearest public station, specific station or Shell station with credentials.
- For 'Public nearest station':
- Provide any 'origin': this can be a coordinate eg: "51.330436, 3.802043" or "street, city, country" or any sensor name which has latitude and longitutde coordinate attributes eg "person.fred" or "device_tracker.car_position"
- For 'Public single Shell charge station':
- Provide the unique serial number of the charging station: the serial number can be found in the details of a charging station on https://ui-map.shellrecharge.com
- For 'Private Shell charge station':
- Provide Shell credentials username and password

Proof of concept status, still validating and extending functionalities. Issues section in GitHub.
The main logic and API connection related code can be found within source code Carbu.com/custom_components/Carbu.com:
All other files just contain boilerplat code for the integration to work wtihin HA or to have some constants/strings/translations.
If you would encounter some issues with this custom component, you can enable extra debug logging by adding below into your configuration.yaml:
logger:
default: info
logs:
custom_components.EVChargingStations: debug
To show a map in Home Assistant with all nearest charging stations you can use a setup such as shown below. It will show the max kWh charging power on map.
type: map
entities:
- entity: sensor.nearest_station_device_tracker_car_position
label_mode: attribute

To show the Eneco charging map for a specific location linked to some sensor in Home Assistant IFrame you can:
-
install Config Template Card HACS
-
define a template sensor to dynamically build the website url based on sensor coordinates
- in
configuration.yaml
template: - sensor: - name: "Car Eneco Charging Station URL" state: > https://www.eneco-emobility.com/be-nl/chargemap#loc={{ state_attr('device_tracker.car_position', 'latitude') }}%2C{{ state_attr('device_tracker.car_position', 'longitude') }}%2C16 - in
-
create a new card in frontend with config such as shown below:
type: custom:config-template-card entities: - sensor.car_eneco_charging_station_url variables: - states card: type: iframe aspect_ratio: 185% url: ${states['sensor.car_eneco_charging_station_url'].state}
Below markdown will only show unique charging stations, so if nearest and nearest available are the same, it will only be shown once.
A link towards Eneco chargemap is available on the name of the charging stations
A link to Google maps directions from car to charging station is available on the address of the charging station
An indication of exepcted speed of charging (km/min and km/hour of charging)
To re-use, replace
