!! NOTE !!

The Home Assistant Addon evcc is based on docker, there is no possibility to create a configuration file for evcc inside the evcc docker with "evcc configure"!

As a result of this a working evcc configuration is required.

To do this, perform the steps in the documentation of evcc to create a configuration file "evcc.yaml":

• https://docs.evcc.io/docs/installation/manual

Configuration of evcc

• https://docs.evcc.io/docs/guides/setup

How to find and copy /data/evcc.db

• start UI

  docker -ps a
  

save the CONTAINER ID of evcc/evcc:0.130.12 -> e.g. 6d0b4119b012 (CONTAINER ID of EVCC)

List the files in /data:

 docker exec 6d0b4119b012 ls -la /data

you will find your evcc.db

Copy your evcc to /config/evcc:
