support for charging stations with multuple connectors?

[scruysberghs]

Hi,

I'm trying to use a charging station that has 2 connectors to charge 2 EV's at the same time. I see it is supported in the ocpp.set_charge_rate service (conn_id 0 is charging station, conn_id 1 for first connector and conn_id 2 for second connector). This means I can set the charging speed for both connectors individually and can confirm this works. Now for the sensors that are created by the integration I don't see any support for this. Also only one slider and set of switches to control charging in the UI. Is full support for multiple sockets (or even multiple charging stations) somewhere on the roadmap for this OCPP HA integration/addon?

Regards
Steven

It's not something I intend to work on, but it shouldn't be difficult to add if you want to create a PR for it.

The scripts folder sets up the Dev environment, including HA provided by https://github.com/MatthewFlamm/pytest-homeassistant-custom-component

Ah, I see. So the dev container is indeed supposed to clone in the ha repo. On my Ubuntu dev machine something goes wrong with this. I've also tried using the oncleben31 cookiecutter that is linked in MatthewFlamm's repo to create a new custom component and that one fails to set up the environment in the devcontainter as well on my machine. Looks like the project is no longer maintained. Have you used it successfully recently with a clean clone of your repo?

The logs indicate it is trying to do git clone -q git://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.git and times out instead of cloning [email protected]:home-assistant/core.git

The cookie cutter dev container is sunset. This repo has been updated with the new container/scripts etc

Have you merged the updates from main that changed the dev setup into your repo?

with a clean check-out of the repo I had a (different) problem as well. There was a message that the pytest-homeassistant-custom-component version that was pinned in requirements.txt is not supported on python 3.11. Made a small PR that upgrades the devcontainer to use python 3.12 and bumped pytest-homeassistant-custom-component to the lastest version "0.13.148"
