Background story: had an OpenEVSE since 2021. But it was hidden in the crawl space under the house since then. No attached cable, it was a Type 2 socket installation.

Recently got an issue with the aforementioned female Type 2 socket (no more ground, faulty lines, etc…) so I decided to move everything back into the sunshine.

That’s not the prettiest installation, but it’s working and the attached cable makes it way easier to use.

Next step would be to move it inside an old gas pump for decoration and laughs!

    I’m pretty it would be possible to control leds simply using OpenEVSE capabilities. Worst case scenario, a bit of MQTT should be enough.

      Probably, but with HA it can get some limits (like turn down the brightness during these hours, or just shut it off if between these hours, whatever)
