Your own endpoint to start charging on a Defa/Ladeinorge charger

- WARNING! Sends phone number and password to your account in plain text. Use at own risk and only on secure local networks.

Objective

As ladeinorge/Defa does not provide a public API and I was unable to reverse-engineer it I created a simple Flask endpoint to start charging. It uses Selenium to click trough the webpage and start charging manually like a human would.

Limitations

There is basically no error handling

Linux

Add 172.17.0.1 host.docker.internal to /etc/hosts
