About

cFos Powerbrain is an integration that shows and controls EV charging stations and power meters connected to a cFos Powerbrain controller. It talks to the controller over the local network and is set up in the UI with the host, admin credentials and an update interval in seconds. Devices attached to the controller are discovered automatically and added as power meters and charging stations. Power meters provide sensors for values such as voltage, current and energy, while charging stations get switches and numbers for enabling charging, enabling charging rules and setting the charging current. It also adds Home Assistant services to enter RFID or PIN codes into wallboxes, to send power meter values to an HTTP input meter in the charging manager, and to set global charging manager variables. The README describes the integration as still at an early stage.
