NRGKick not detected

[aleho]

My NRGKick charger is not detected and there's no EV tab.

NRGKick Gen 2 should support all the configuration options needed to support this integration (it's in HA core). I had to add a helper for the connected state, because there are multiple that should signal a plugged in EV.

How can I help?

Thanks @aleho — verified the cause: NRGKick isn't in our supported-brand list. Discovery matches known prefixes (KEBA, Easee, Wallbox, go-e, Zaptec, Ohme, Alfen … 15 brands), and NRGKick's nrgkick_* entities don't match the generic *charger*/*ev* fallback, so no EV tab appears. Filed as enhancement #917 for the maintainer, credited to you.

To make the patterns accurate, the concrete help we need is your exact entity IDs: which binary_sensor.nrgkick_* best means "EV plugged in" (given the several candidates you mention), plus charging state, charging power, current, and session/total energy sensors.
