TechnoVE
technove
The TechnoVE integration lets you monitor and control your TechnoVE smart EV charging station directly from Home Assistant using the station's local API. No cloud account or internet connection is required. Everything communicates over your local network.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) |
What people report
TechnoVE charging stations work locally with a few control limits.

| Device | In Home Assistant | In Apple Home | What they said | Source |

| TechnoVE charging station | Partly works Local | Local only; no firmware updates; current limit locked in power sharingSaved copyLimitations: The integration communicates with the station over the local network only. If the station is on a different network segment or VLAN than Home Assistant, you may need to configure routing between the networks. The maximum current setting cannot be changed while the station is in power sharing mode. You need to disable power sharing first. Charging can only be manually started or stopped when auto-charge mode is disabled. The integration does not support firmware updates. Firmware updates must be performed through the TechnoVE app. Excerpt saved from home-assistant.io on 2026-10-23. | Docs |
