zaptec charger custom component for home assistant

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…)
`sensor`	Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…)
`button`	Button (as a switch)

What people report

Zaptec chargers work through the Zaptec cloud with slow updates. A Pro charger reportedly ignored the start and stop commands.

Zaptec chargers (model lookup)	Works Cloud		Integration reads charger model from serial number Saved copy API: Add model propery * Add ZConst.charger_models lookup and .serial_to_model dict * Use model when setting up the devices in HA Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.	PR #263 · 2025-07
Zaptec Pro charger	Partly works Cloud		Entities update slowly (cloud); start/stop commands not accepted by charger Saved copy Hi, first of all I want to say thank you. I really like your integration. I do have a Zaptec Pro Charger installed with a load managment. All the entities only update every 10 minutes, i assume this is the Zaptec Cloud that blocks it? And also all the buttons like resume charging / stop charging do not work. When pressed it results in this error; "Fehler beim Aufrufen des Diensts button/press. Running command 'deauthorize_and_stop' failed" Am I doing something wrong with the installation or can I change something in the Zaptec Cloud i did not see? Thank you Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.	Issue #80 · 2023-12
