I've tested it for few weeks, and found it buggy and not this UX friendly.

I've ended up trying to mimic some OpenEVSE ui on HA UI for this and feel it much better on daily use.

@KipK - Is this published to anywhere, or downloadable as a script?

[firstof9]

Those are just dashboard cards.

[fhteagle]

Right. It has been on my to do to create better looking dashboards for charging. I was hoping KipK would share the yaml for that buildup of cards instead of having to duplicate that work also.

[firstof9]

Hopefully he'll share at some point 🙂

Sure here is the EVSE part yaml:

It needs input_text.openevse_override_state helper

And this automation to set it correctly :

There's actually a problem with the websocket connection beeing lost and not reconnecting so I've added a button to restart the integration.

[KipK]

so with latest beta there's no need of automation nor helper anymore. Here is the simplified yaml for the dashboard:

Using MDI icons.
Slightly modified version looks like this:

I'm actually working on a custom card.
This is still wip but I will be able to publish something soon if some want to test.

I'm also open for suggestions.

[firstof9]

I'd be happy to test a card out

[KipK]

@firstof9 , you can test it from my repo:

https://github.com/KipK/openevse-card

There's still some clean-up to do and doc is not ready, but for what I have tested it works already well enough
I haven't yet made the translations part too

Don't forget to add the openevse-card.js to ressources.
