    Most EVs sold in South Africa have sufficient range for regular in-city driving

    Anyone figured how to use EskomsePush to control switches on HA

    You can use the same key multiple times from the same IP, just don't use two different keys or you'll get blocked. If you need more than 50 calls you can get a paid API Key.

    ESPHome and Centurion D5
