API for connection status

Smart Chargers
1

My MG Chargehub, drops out randomly and will only reconnect by turning it off at the power and on again. I would like a proper fix, but alternatively, I would like to access an API in “Charge HQ” that shows my connection status. I would then develop an integration for Home Assistant and send an alert to my phone if it is offline for more than 5min.

  1. [main] could you provide such an API, same authentication as your solar push API?
  2. [optional] do you have any data on fixing “CHARGE HUB AURORA” issues and resolutions?

Hi @craig.gorman.au , thanks for your post.

  1. There are currently no plans to add an API for integration into Home Assistant etc.

  2. MG have advised that a new firmware for the Aurora is coming soon, which should address some issues. We’ll let everyone know when it’s ready for testing. I don’t know if it will fix the issues you are having, but it will be worth a try.
