Support for Garo Entity Pro

[erikt955]

Hi

Should this integration support the Entity Pro chargers? Tried to add it but it fails to do so. I have 10 chargers i want to read the energy meters from.

The Entity chargers use a completely different mechanism to the Wallboxes. Given that, a question is whether this project is interested in adding support for them, or whether it would be better with a completely separate addon. (A separate one is probably better, since given the technology differences there's likely little to gain from an addon for both, and presumably the Wallbox devices will become obsolete before the Entity devices). There's an Entity add-on implementation using the cloud service here: https://github.com/g60ocR/garo-entity . You can also do basic local integration of an Entity Compact without using any addon (you can read various parameters directly from the device using the REST integration).
