How do I turn on/off the charger

[Lectere]

Is there a way to totally disable/enable the charger via Home Assistant and this Api?

you can make use of the select.goe_YOUR-SERIAL_trx - but there is IMHO no way to physically disconnect the charger from power source...

as an alternative there is select.goe_YOUR-SERIAL_frc available to block charging

My charger is on private property, but reachable from the public road. I'd like to have a simple switch in HA to turn it on/off, so others don't use my charger.

select.goe_YOUR-SERIAL_trx is the way to go then...

Just as additional info... My goe could also be reached from the public road — there is no gate or fence...

You can configure the charger thats locked by default, and that you need to unlock it (trx) before usage... The unlock can happen via a rfid signal... or (and thats what I did) via an automation... as soon as my Ford MachE is connected to my charger the goe will be unlocked by setting trx.

Sounds good, I have a BMW, and that also has a integration with HA. Care to share your details?/automation? Thnx

Here is "my" automation...

You need a trigger, that let you know, that "your vehicle" is now connected (or at the right place or what so ever) - as developer of the EVCC HA Integration I simply make use of an entity (select.evcc_hh_7_vehicle_name) that let me know, that my Ford is connected... it will change to my vehicle_id ford_mach_e

Probably you have something in your BMW Integration... And of course you need to enabled the "default" mode locked fr your Wallbox...
