**Tap Electric for Homey** **Your EV charger, now part of your smart home.** Bring your Tap Electric–connected charger into Homey and turn it into a fully-fledged smart device. Authorize a session with a single tap, get notified the moment someone holds an RFID to the charger, and let Homey’s smart charging take the wheel: top up on solar surplus, follow dynamic energy prices, or run overnight on a schedule — all without lifting a finger. Whether you have a Peblar, Alfen, Easee, Wallbox or any other Tap-supported charger, this app makes your EV as natural to automate as the lights, the thermostat or the blinds. **What you get** **Charger device** Pair your charger as a Homey EV device — one per connector. The tile shows live charging state, an authorized-session toggle (uses a configurable default RFID), a power slider that integrates with Homey’s smart-charging engine (dynamic prices, solar surplus, schedules), kWh totals, and live wattage. Underneath: standard OCPP `SetChargingProfile` with optional `ChangeConfiguration` fallback per vendor. **1. Install the app and add the API key** Install **Tap Electric** from the Homey app store, then: 1. Open the app’s settings (mobile app: _More_ → _Apps_ → _Tap Electric_ → _\*Configure app_). 2. In a browser, log in at **[https://app.tapelectric.app](https://app.tapelectric.app)**, open _Account_ → _API management_, click _Create API key_ and copy the value (Tap only shows it once). 3. Paste the key on the _API key_ tab in the app settings and click _Save and test_. The app verifies the key against Tap and automatically registers a webhook so the _token presented_ trigger fires in realtime. **2. Add your charge cards (RFIDs)** Tap encrypts the token identifiers it returns over its API, so the app cannot discover your physical RFID UIDs on your behalf — add them once, manually: 1. Open the _Charge cards_ tab. 2. Read the UID off the back of your card, or scan it with a USB RFID reader / NFC-enabled phone. Most home users have a 7- or 10-byte hex UID like `04A1B2C3D4E590`. 3. Give it a friendly name (e.g. _Husband’s card_) and click _Add_. These tags now show up in the autocomplete of the _Authorize_ flow card and feed the _Default RFID_ device setting (see step 3). > The “Recent swipes” panel on the same page is informational. Those identifiers are OCPI/encrypted tokens — they are **not** usable as an OCPP idTag. Use the raw card UID. **3. Pair the charger as a Homey device** In the Homey app, _Add device_ → _Tap Electric_ → _Charger_. The discovery list shows every connector across every charger your API key sees; multi-select to pair them all in one go. Once paired, open the device settings to set: - **Phase setup** — 1-phase 230 V or 3-phase 230 V. Drives the W ↔ A conversion for the power slider. - **Default RFID** — used by the Session Authorized toggle on the tile. Leave empty to disable start-from-tile; the _Authorize_ flow card still works. - > **[Tap Electric | Homey](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/com.kaoh.tapelectric/Tap-Electric/)** > > Authorize and unauthorize charging sessions on your Tap Electric chargers from Homey flows. ---

Intressing app , would like to test this. Together with Peblar and volvo integrations in homey it can manage it completely ---

Is it also possible to use without RFID? So I can just start a loading session with the press of a button? With a flow behind it? I have some issues with the homewizard batterys and the load balancing when I charge the car only on 1 phase. (it’s a 1 phase car 🙂 ) I want to build in some logic that if battery \< 10% or sun power is 1600W, start charging for instance. But my charger doesn’t have RFID 🙂 ---

By the way! This is awesome 😃 And would be nice if this works! Finally my Ratio charger in Homey ---

Your managing it with Tap electric? You can do it with a default rfid, but I want aware you can have non rfid ID managed chargers in Tap electric ---

Yep. I can put it in TAP and use the app to start it. The TAP app. So, basically it would also be possible to start it manually in Homey. 🙂 we will see. Maybe use something else to trigger it. Thanks for this! Hopefully manual triggering works. ---

I checked but I believe you can just enter any rfid value you want. The protocol demands an RFID but the charger is allowed to ignore it, so it is probably how it works for you. Just put in anything you want there, in the device default setting like ‘XXXX’. Let me know if it works for you ---

I tried that. But currently having other issues with the charger. So, I can’t say for 100% that it works. But I have no reason to not believe you 😉 thanks!!
