Unable to connect my wallbox

[sebmatton]

Hi all,

I'm trying to setup my Alfen Wallbox with Home Assistant, but I can't figure out to make things work properly.
I'm perfectly able to connect the charger with ACE (So, I know my Owner's password), but the HA integration constantly fails configuring its entry.

Is there anything specific to do ? My charger has Active Load Balancing and DSMR (P1) enabled, don't know if it might be an issue as I know it can't work togheter with Modbus TCP simultaneously.
I also make sure that ACE application is closed when performing the HA installation.
Currently using integration with version 2.9.0.

Here is my error message:

Assistance is appreciated :-)

Thanks

Maybe some more insights here:

I have been battling with the same issue since a couple of weeks. Not sure what’s causing this as I have not changed anything in the charger config. The only thing I have done is upgrading my home assistant core and os to the latest versions.

Same issue here since a while (few days), has been working great for several months before. Unknow what changed recently, didn't do any firmware updates or so.

I noticed the same issue as well today.
But I noticed also that when I'm trying to configure it from my domain over https, it seems to initialize again.
Every time I try from my local domain over http, it fails.

EDIT: ignore my comment above, I think I was just lucky, as it's not working again after a HA restart...
Only solution seems to be a manual rollback to version 2.8.9 as explained at #166 (comment)

This may be the effects of commit 7f33ef7b31637a1e421016a1ed6a43d7620cab70

This commit removed some of the lines that disabled SSL checks. As far as I can see, the API that my Alfen Eve Single provides does have a valid certificate. It expired some time ago (probably because the firmware I have installed is out-of-date).

@fwestenberg , Besides from the obvious security benefits, is there any reason why the SSL check has been removed? Could "Disable SSL verifcation" be added as a option when configuring a new EV station?

[fwestenberg]

Excellent idea. I will fix this asap!

That make sense @fwestenberg do you create a new merge request or should i do it?

I have the same problem. Thanks for your hard work to get everything working!

I tried to install 2.9.2 beta 2 / beta 3:
"The version 2.9.2-beta-3 for this integration can not be used with HACS."

Try manual update to download them and replace in custom_component.

The issue above will be investigate soon
