go-eCharger integration in Venus OS

Hi community,

I just finalized my integration of the go-eCharger as a evcharger into the Victron OS. You can find my project on github with all you need to setup: https://github.com/vikt0rm/dbus-goechargervenus-os-remote-console-overview.png

Great. Super simple and it works!

Controlling the maximum would be great.

Just added support for setting "Enable charging", "Charging current" and "Max charging current" + minor fixes. For "mode" I currently have no idea how to map or what to do with that setting.

Does someone install this directly on Multiplus-II GX? As this device is missing CONFIGPARSER from python. I tried everything to install it, but didn't succeed.

Any help is much appreciated, as so many of those nice add-on are based on the same software, and all require it.

Up to now I'm using openwb for the go-e (openwb can read victron information) as we have two devices (one more will come in April)
using more devices with victron directly would be supercool!

@vikt0rm Is there any chance the AUTO mode will ever be implemented? Even though I'm sure it really is what I expect it to be: A mode that controls charge current based on total power (PV) input and battery charge mode.

Hi, I've now installed the dbus script and I already can see the go-e in my VRM surface, but it won't update the status. So my status field doesn't say "disconnected" like in the upper picture, instead this field stays completely empty. Can somebody help me with this issue?

The total energy is updated if I have charged my EV and reboot the system, but it seems like all other data is not transmitted.

Thanks,

Rudi

Installed it, and works quite fine :) Thanks for that.
But I have a UI problem:

"EV Ladestation" is my Go-e charger and connected to "Kritische Lasten", but it isn't. It is a normally connected to our house grid. Any solution to solve that?
