Where Zaptec fits in a smart home

Zaptec chargers connect to Zaptec's own cloud over Wi-Fi, 4G LTE-M and, on the Pro, powerline communication. The charger makes outbound connections only, and the cloud is also the route for Zaptec's API, its Service Bus and most partner integrations. OCPP 1.6J is supported, directly on the Go and through the Zaptec cloud on the Pro. We found no voice assistant or Matter support.

That suits home, housing-association and workplace charging where load balancing, access control and integration with energy or charging platforms matter. It is weaker as a general smart home device: there is no local API we could confirm, so Home Assistant and Homey integrations depend on Zaptec's cloud and on community-built code.

Apps

Zaptec App

The main app for EV owners. Monitors charging sessions and speed, shows history, locks the cable, and manages access for family, friends or neighbours. Zaptec's page also lists Eco Mode based on Nord Pool prices, scheduled charging, and solar prioritisation with Zaptec Sense in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg on selected installations. The App Store listing is published by Zaptec AS and requires iOS 15 or later. Some reviewers criticise slow status updates and missing features. The Google Play link comes from Zaptec's page, and the Play page itself was not opened.

iPhone Android

Zaptec Portal (web)

Zaptec's web portal for administrators. Zaptec says Go is aimed at home use via the app, while Pro is aimed at commercial and shared sites managed through the Zaptec Portal. The same Zaptec account works for the app and the portal, and portal help covers permissions and account creation. We did not open the portal itself.

PlatformStatusWhat it meansSources
Connection
Wi-FiYesZaptec lists Wi-Fi for Go and Pro: 2.4 GHz (802.11 b/g/n) on channels 1 to 11, with WPA2 recommended. The charger makes outbound connections only and talks to Azure IoT Hub over MQTT with TLS 1.2, without opening incoming ports.Zaptec network requirements
4G LTE-MYesGo and Pro support 4G LTE-M, using a Telenor eSIM where available. Zaptec's OCPP page says Go 2 has an eSIM.Zaptec network requirements Zaptec: What is OCPP
Powerline communication (PLC)YesZaptec Pro only. HomePlug Green PHY at 10 Mbit/s. Go has no PLC.Zaptec network requirements
EthernetUnconfirmedZaptec's network requirements article does not cover Ethernet, and we could not confirm it from the pages read.Searched, no source
BluetoothUnconfirmedThe Zaptec Go 2 page and network article do not mention Bluetooth. We could not confirm it either way.Zaptec Go 2
Zigbee, Z-Wave, ThreadNot mentionedNone of these are mentioned on the Zaptec pages we read.Zaptec network requirements
OCPPYesAll models support OCPP 1.6J, and Zaptec says OCPP 2.0.1 and 2.1 are on its roadmap. Go gets OCPP over the air and Go 2 ships with it, talking to a compatible backend. Pro's OCPP goes through the Zaptec cloud, which adds dynamic load balancing and remote configuration. A 2018 Zaptec article says its phase balancing and 1-to-3 phase switching are not supported by OCPP, so partners connected to its cloud rather than directly to the chargers.Zaptec: What is OCPP Zaptec: supports open protocols (OCPP) Zaptec developer guides

Home AssistantCommunityNo built-in integration was confirmed, though Home Assistant's own integration list was not checked. The main community project is custom-components/zaptec on GitHub (a custom component for Home Assistant). Other repositories tagged with Zaptec include a community fork, solar surplus charging and a Lovelace card for a Zaptec Go 2. These are not published by Zaptec, and we could not confirm how each connects.GitHub topic: zaptec Home Assistant integrations
HomeyCommunityA community app by Patrick Wadström, not by Athom or Zaptec. It lists Zaptec Go, Go 2, Home and Pro, adds flow cards, load balancing and cheap-hour charging, and signs in with Zaptec credentials that it says stay on the Homey. The page lists Homey Cloud, Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server, but also says the chargers are cloud-based and require a Homey Bridge, so we could not resolve which Homey models apply. It needs Homey firmware 12.4.7 or newer.Homey Zaptec app

Charging and energy platformsOfficialZaptec's integrations page lists many charging network and energy partners by logo, including Monta, Tibber, Octopus Energy, Enode, Eniris, Virta, Kraken and Solar-Manager. Integration methods named there are the Zaptec API, OCPP 1.6J cloud, OCPP 1.6J at charger level and AMQP. The partner list was read from logos, so each partner's scope is unconfirmed.Zaptec integrations page
Zaptec API and developer docsOfficialZaptec runs developer documentation covering a cloud REST API, a Service Bus (AMQP) for real-time state, OCPP 1.6J, third-party onboarding, roles and permissions, and guides for solar integration, dynamic load balancing and 3-to-1 phase switching on Go 2. API use needs a Zaptec account with access to the installation. The fair use policy sets 10 requests per second per account, asks for Service Bus instead of aggressive polling, and bans undocumented endpoints. The docs do not cover local integration options.Zaptec developer guides Zaptec: integrate with the API Zaptec API fair use policy
