Open up your API for integration with i.e. home automation systems. This way community can build adapters for Home Assistant, etc. Data to be exposed should be basically all the data you can see in the app when logged in as a personal user

Stop Charge API call returning BAD_REQUEST today. Any problem?

{
"status": "BAD_REQUEST",
"message": "Bad Request",
"readableMessage": "Bad Request",
"errorCode": "BAD_REQUEST",
"context": null
}

Hello Christian.
When you are developing the Home Assistant Plugin, I would be happy to test
I have been using HA for more than four years and have a rather advanced setup

When retrieving the list of charges, the list is shown with the newest first. Any way to get it reversed, so the oldest first?
Thanks

Hi!
I am probably doing something wrong, since I am getting this when trying to get a token:

{
"status": "UNAUTHORIZED",
"message": "Consumer with given `clientId` and `clientSecret` not found",
"readableMessage": "Unauthorized",
"errorCode": "APPLICATION_NOT_FOUND",
"context": null
}

EDIT: created a new application and it worked

I've setup an application, and retrieved access/refresh tokens, those work fine. However trying to retrieve my charger list results in no data returned (I get a response that indicates no chargers). I am the charge point owner, but it is via Sevadis as an Enterprise Partner. Does the public api work only for personal chargers where you are the operator (I think in this setup Sevadis are the operator)?

Hi RogTP,
Can you share your applicationId or userId (should be visible in /auth/me endpoint).
Please note: never share clientId and clientSecret. We will never ask for these.
Best,
Christian

This is the error I get when I try to access by ID:

User with ID `135013` has no access to Charge Point with ID `2975778`

User is in my wife's name....

Same here.

I finally got to get the token, but can't retrieve charger information.

If requesting the list, it is empty. When requesting the specific charger:
{
"status": "FORBIDDEN",
"message": "User with ID `126170` has no access to Charge Point with ID `2942448`.",
"readableMessage": "Forbidden",
"errorCode": "ACCESS_FORBIDDEN",
"context": null
}

And like @RogTP, my charger is not configured as a personal one, but as part of a team created by the integrator (SmartZone), even tho I am the owner and only member of the team.

Do you just need to turn on 'beta access' to be able to try it (when available)? Are you publishing api docs to go with it?

I see my questions are answered via the screenshot on Linkedin

The full level of detail is not yet defined but the plan is to have an MVP in spring ready. Maybe even a home assistant plug-in

I would love to be able to integrate Monta to my home assistant. I would love to have a hue switch to start my (smart-)charging through Monta.

For this to work I either have to communicate directly to my Easee charger (and ditch Montaand all it’s benefits) or ideally I could call a Monta api endpoint with startSmartCharge { finishAt: 7.30, amountKwh: 15.0 }

Today it is too cumbersome to find your phone, find the Monta app, select your charger, select amount, swipe to start. Especially when it could just be a press of a zigbee button .

I wonder if I can start the charging through Easee and Monta would then pick it up? E.g. “simulate” an rfid card through the Easee api?
