Authorize, stop and monitor charging sessions on your Tap Electric-connected charge point straight from Homey flows.
Works with any OCPP 1.6 charger that Tap Electric supports — Peblar, Alfen, Easee, Wallbox and many others.
WHAT YOU GET
Trigger
- A token was presented — fires the moment an RFID card is held to your charger. Filter on authorized / declined / any. Comes with tokens for charger id, charger name, token auth id, provider and an authorized boolean.
Condition
- Charge session is active on … — true while a session is open on the selected charger.
Actions
- Authorize a charge session — start a session with a stored RFID card.
- Stop the active session — cleanly end the current session.
- Reset the charger — soft reset.
- Release the cable — unlock the connector latch so the cable can be removed.
REQUIREMENTS
- Homey Pro on firmware 12.1.0 or newer.
- A Tap Electric account that owns at least one charger.
- A Tap Electric API key (takes two minutes to create).
SETUP
1. Install this app and open its settings (mobile app: More → Apps → Tap Electric → Configure app).
2. Create a Tap Electric API key:
- Log in at https://app.tapelectric.app
- Open Account → API management
- Click Create API key and copy the value (Tap shows it only once).
3. In the app settings, on the API key tab, paste the key and click Save and test. The app verifies the key against Tap and automatically registers a webhook so the trigger card fires in realtime.
4. Open the Charge cards tab and add your physical RFID cards. Read the UID off the back of the card, or scan it with an NFC-enabled phone / USB RFID reader. Give each one a friendly name. They will appear in the autocomplete of the Authorize flow card.
Why manual? Tap encrypts the token identifiers in its API, so the app cannot discover your raw UIDs automatically. The Recent swipes list shows tokens from completed sessions for reference only — those identifiers are not usable as an OCPP idTag.
5. Build a flow. Example: when a token is presented and the outcome is declined, send a push notification with the provider name.
SETTINGS PAGE TABS
- API key: save / test / clear the key. Shows webhook subscription health.
- Charge cards: manage stored RFIDs, view recent (read-only) swipes.
- Diagnostics: quick API probes — list chargers, list active sessions, dump OCPP messages, fetch recent authorizations.
- Logs: live log feed of every API call, webhook event and flow execution. Filter, copy or download for support tickets.
PRIVACY
The app stores your API key, your RFID UIDs with their labels, and the webhook subscription secret. All of it stays on the Homey. Nothing is sent anywhere except Tap Electric's own API. API keys and RFID UIDs are masked in the log feed. No telemetry, no analytics.
