Hi,

do you think, it's possible to implement a simple SET function for the E3DC Wallbox smart connect for starting and stopping the charging-process?

In the S10 Webportal can i see in the wallbox.js script this code for stopping charging:
var barry = new Uint8Array(6); barry[0] = 0;barry[1] = 0;barry[2] = 0;barry[3] = 0;barry[4] = 1;barry[5] = 0; return dataProxy.rscp.request( dataProxy.rscp.containerFactory("WB_REQ_DATA", dataProxy.rscp.dataFactory("WB_INDEX","UChar8",currentWallBox), dataProxy.rscp.containerFactory("WB_REQ_SET_EXTERN", dataProxy.rscp.dataFactory("WB_EXTERN_DATA","ByteArray",barry), dataProxy.rscp.dataFactory("WB_EXTERN_DATA_LEN","UChar8",6)

and for starting:

var barry = new Uint8Array(6); barry[0] = 0;barry[1] = 0;barry[2] = 0;barry[3] = value;barry[4] = 0;barry[5] = 0; return dataProxy.rscp.request( dataProxy.rscp.containerFactory("WB_REQ_DATA", dataProxy.rscp.dataFactory("WB_INDEX","UChar8",parseInt(currentWallBox)), dataProxy.rscp.containerFactory("WB_REQ_SET_EXTERN", dataProxy.rscp.dataFactory("WB_EXTERN_DATA","ByteArray",barry), dataProxy.rscp.dataFactory("WB_EXTERN_DATA_LEN","UChar8",6)

Or do you think, it's possible to implement the whole function of the wallbox.js?

Thanks in advance

    This should be possible, but not using wallbox.js, but rather implementing it similar to other methods in _e3dc.py.
    e.g. https://github.com/fsantini/python-e3dc/blob/master/e3dc/_e3dc.py#L1840

    The tags can be found e.g. here: https://github.com/fsantini/python-e3dc/blob/master/e3dc/_rscpTags.py#L1244
    and testing can be done using e3dc.sendRequest()

    I don't have a wallbox and hence can't test it.
    There are other folks active in this project with a wallbox that might be open to collaborate, like @mdhom.
    Feel free to implement this and open a PR.

    Sounds interesting, I could have look at it maybe tonight.

    First I implemented the WB_REQ_DATA to see if I can actually see the live wallbox data, that works. Then I implemented the method which is called setStopCharging in wallbox.js, but that actually looks more like a toggle charging functionality, which matches my observation that there is no setStartCharging function in JS. It's a pity that the bytearray I have to send is just magic, I don't know if there could be any other byte-array I could send to definitely start or stop the wallbox.

    @othorg you could give it a try with my current branch here:
    https://github.com/mdhom/python-e3dc/tree/wallbox-rscp

    Things I need / want to do:

    • Read current state of sun mode
    • Activate / deactivate sun mode
    • Read current state of one phased charging
    • Read current phases setting
    • Read max charging current
    • Read Schuko state
    • Set Schuko state
    • Find out what SOC means in this context (does not match what is shown in my cars display)
    • Find out what energy measurements refer to (currently looks like the current months sum)
    • There is some code that switches on a wallbox type, but takes a WALLBOX_ARRAY from somewhere, can't find the source of this...

    @othorg the code you posted for starting charging seems to be for switching between one and three phased charging

    I will connect my car again asap. After this, i will inspect the start/stop Button in Webportal. my function above is working and switch the sun mode on/off.

    yes, setting sunmode works perfectly, is also implemented in my code. just starting and stopping charging is somehow strange...

    do you have a Schuko on your wallbox to test that behavior? I implemented reading out its state and setting it too, but nothing happens here, I think because I don't have a Schuko on my wallbox
    Pushed some changes again...

    No Sorry i don't have a Schuko... but E3DC have two kinds of WB's. What do you have?
    I have the newer one "Smart Connect" 22KW with 3Phases and fixed cable... And for me it looks like, that the start behavior is a toggle function of setStopCharging()?

    self.stopCharging = function (){
		if (window.OWNER !==3) {
      language.addModule(24).then(function(){
          AXConfirm(language.gE('346M24'),function yes(){
            setStopCharging();
          }, function no(){
            // do nothing
          });
      });	
			
		} 
	};
	self.restartCharging = function (){
		if (window.OWNER !==3) setStopCharging();
		
	};
	
	
}

function setStopCharging(){
	if (window.OWNER ===3) {
		return;
	}
	if (!inUpdate) {
		var barry = new Uint8Array(6);
		//barry[0] = 0;barry[1] = 0;barry[2] = 0;barry[3] = 0;barry[4] = 0;barry[5] = 1;
		barry[0] = 0;barry[1] = 0;barry[2] = 0;barry[3] = 0;barry[4] = 1;barry[5] = 0;

	
		return dataProxy.rscp.request(
			dataProxy.rscp.containerFactory("WB_REQ_DATA",
				dataProxy.rscp.dataFactory("WB_INDEX","UChar8",currentWallBox),
				dataProxy.rscp.containerFactory("WB_REQ_SET_EXTERN",
					dataProxy.rscp.dataFactory("WB_EXTERN_DATA","ByteArray",barry),
					dataProxy.rscp.dataFactory("WB_EXTERN_DATA_LEN","UChar8",6)
				)
			)
		).then(function(data){
			// if(typeof data[0].value.WB_REQ_SET_EXTERN !== "undefined" && data[0].value.WB_REQ_SET_EXTERN.type === "Error"){
			// 	return Promise.reject();
			// }
			// else {
			// 	return Promise.resolve();
			// }
		}).catch(function(err){
			console.error(err);
			// return Promise.reject();
		});
	}

    restartcharging() is only available if sunmode is switched off or enough PV-Power is availible....

    I've got the E3/DC Wallbox Easy connect flex (no fixed cable). So do you also think we should call the method "toggle"?

    I created a draft PR: #59
    I think we could discuss the implementation details there.

    I like what you are planning to implement.
    I was scanning the repo, as I wanted to change the charging priorioty from wallbox to battery and back
    on certain conditions... let's say when the battery of the e3dc system reaches let's say 80% set the charging priority to wallbox.
    Do yo think this would be achievable as well in general ?

    Keep up your great work here!

    Looking forward to seeing this implemented for all the projects relying on this library as it's necessary to get the most out of dynamic power tariffs.
