Where go-e fits in a smart home

go-e chargers connect over Wi-Fi to the go-e app and the go-e cloud, and go-e's own pages say the same devices offer local HTTP, MQTT, Modbus TCP and OCPP interfaces that are switched on in the app. We found no mention of Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home or Matter on go-e's product pages, so integration happens through those open protocols rather than through voice platforms.

That suits people who run Home Assistant, openHAB, evcc, ioBroker or a similar energy or automation system and want local control that keeps working without the internet. It is weaker if you want to ask a voice assistant to start charging, or if you want a plug-and-play Homey setup without a Homey Bridge.

Apps

go-e

The main app for go-e chargers. The go-e page for the Controller describes a free iOS and Android app to monitor and change charging, view consumption and history, set up authorization and read the electricity meter. The App Store listing adds remote access through the go-e cloud, RFID card management and Wi-Fi settings. Published by go-e GmbH. The Google Play link is the one go-e shows on its own homepage, and we could not open the Play page itself to confirm it.

iPhone Android

go-eCharger Classic

A separate app that the store listing says is exclusively for go-e chargers with hardware version 2 (V2). It offers charging control, current settings, RFID management and remote access through the go-e cloud. Published by go-e GmbH. The Google Play package name comes from an app analytics page, and we could not load the Play page itself.

PlatformStatusWhat it meansSources
Connection
Wi-FiYesThe go-e Controller page lists Ethernet and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz) plus a built-in hotspot. The Controller page also says the charger's built-in access point allows local control only, and that flexible tariffs and load balancing are then unavailable. We did not confirm the Wi-Fi details for every charger model.go-e Controller product page go-e App Store listing
go-e cloudOfficialThe app offers remote access through the go-e cloud, and go-e says multi-charger load management runs through the cloud, so chargers need internet for it and fall back to a set emergency current without it. go-e also publishes a cloud API option and says the cloud connection is optional on the Controller.go-e App Store listing go-e app settings article go-e Controller product page
Local HTTP, MQTT, Modbus TCP and OCPPOfficialgo-e says the charger supports a local-first setup and that HTTP, MQTT, Modbus TCP or OCPP are enabled in the app under Settings, then Connection. It describes OCPP as native and independent of go-e's cloud, but as a link to a central backend rather than a purely local setup. Some advanced features, such as PV-surplus logic modes, may need a different approach, and some functions need the go-e Controller.go-e: connecting without the cloud

Energy and tariff partnersOfficialgo-e's integrations page lists 18 partners, including Octopus Energy, Enphase, EcoFlow, Kiwigrid, neoom, Kraken, Enode and several charging back-ends. The page says the information comes from the partners and that current compatibility should be checked with each one. It names OCPP, API or Modbus links for some of them.go-e integrations page
Open platforms and developer access
Home AssistantOfficialgo-e publishes a guide for Home Assistant that uses its MQTT integration: the charger and the Controller connect to Home Assistant's MQTT broker, and the device then appears automatically. The guide needs Home Assistant's MQTT option enabled in the go-e app and a dedicated Home Assistant user. We found no built-in Home Assistant integration dedicated to go-e, although we could not fully check the official integrations list. Community custom components also exist, for example ha-goecharger-api2, which uses the local HTTP API v2 and says it is unofficial and not affiliated with go-e.go-e Home Assistant guide ha-goecharger-api2 goecharger_mqtt Home Assistant integrations
HomeyCommunityA Homey app named go-e is published by Complus Ky, which says it is developed independently with support from go-e GmbH. It covers HOME+ (V3), Gemini, CORE and PRO chargers with cloud and local drivers. The listing shows Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server, but says every driver needs a Homey Bridge, and its install panel shows conflicting compatibility messages that we could not resolve.Homey go-e app
openHABYesA go-e Charger binding is in openHAB's add-on list. It supports HOME+, HOMEfix and Gemini chargers, uses the local API (v1 by default, v2 on newer hardware) or the cloud API, and prefers the local API if both are set. The page does not name a maintainer, and go-e does not appear to maintain it.openHAB go-e binding
evccCommunityevcc documents the go-e Charger HOMEfix as a local HTTP API charger, with the HTTP API v1 or v2 enabled and firmware 040.0 or later. The page says the device is limited to evcc project sponsors, who need a sponsor token.evcc go-e HOMEfix
Node-RED, ioBroker and LoxoneNot mentionedgo-e's smart home article names openHAB, ioBroker and Loxone (with HTTP templates) as platforms, and cites Node-RED, Python and shell scripts as tools for the HTTP API. It does not link a dedicated Node-RED node.go-e: connecting without the cloud
