Where NexBlue fits in a smart home

NexBlue chargers connect over Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz), Ethernet or a built-in 4G eSIM, and also offer Bluetooth for local control. For energy systems the Edge 2 page lists local OCPP, Modbus TCP is documented separately, and a cloud integration exists for Home Assistant and Homey. Voice assistants and Matter were not found.

That suits owners who want solar-aware charging, load balancing across several chargers, or a connection to an OCPP back end or an energy manager. It is weaker for people who expect Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home control, and the Homey app was reported by users as only partly working.

OCPPOfficialThe Edge 2 page lists local OCPP 1.6-J and 2.0.1, while the NexBlue homepage describes the chargers as OCPP 2.0.1 ready, so the exact version support should be checked per model. NexBlue's guide says to commission the charger, then choose a customized OCPP platform in the app and enter a ws or wss server address. It needs firmware 1.1.2 or later.NexBlue Edge 2 Install OCPP guide NexBlue homepage

It reads the NexBlue cloud once a minute and provides sensors for state, power, energy, current and voltage, plus a start and stop switch. Local control is not part of it, and Modbus TCP is configured separately in YAML. The listed owner is @nexblue-maintainer, and we could not confirm whether that is NexBlue staff.Home Assistant NexBlue integration
