HOW WE GOT OUR JUICE BOXES WORKING

EV Channels Review

This video provides a technical walkthrough on how to regain independent control of eMotorWerks JuiceBox EV chargers after EnelX discontinued support. The presenters detail a multi-step process involving OpenEVSE, JuiceRescue, Juice Pass Proxy, Pi-hole, and Home Assistant. While acknowledging this solution is not for everyone due to its complexity, they demonstrate how to stop the chargers from 'phoning home' to the defunct EnelX servers and establish local control. The tutorial covers installation of necessary software like Docker and offers insights into troubleshooting encountered issues, ultimately showing how to integrate the chargers with Home Assistant for basic automation. The video serves as a valuable resource for users facing similar charger obsolescence issues, offering a path to continued functionality.
