I'm developing a Home Assistant integration for oplaadpalen.nl
(Dutch EV charging stations API) and hitting two issues:
Issue #1: API Blocking from Containers/VMs
• On my Mac (local Python): The WMS API works fine ✅
Returns 1 charging station as expected
• From Home Assistant containers/VMs: The same API call
returns 0 results ❌
- Docker on Mac: 0 results
- Docker with --net=host: 0 results
- Home Assistant OS VM: 0 results
• All on the same network, same ISP
What I've tried:
✓ User-Agent headers (v0.1.2)
✓ Host networking mode
✓ Different coordinates
✓ Library works correctly (it's not a code issue)
Test Code (for reference):
import asyncio
from oplaadpalen_py.client import OplaadpalenClient
async def test():
async with OplaadpalenClient() as client:
stations = await client.get_charging_stations(52.3737, 4.8885, 5.0)
print(f'Found: {len(stations)} stations')
asyncio.run(test())
Issue #2: Dependency Installation Not Working
I have requirements properly declared in manifest.json:
"requirements": [
"geopy>=2.3.0",
"oplaadpalen-py>=0.1.0"
]
However, on Home Assistant OS, the dependencies are NOT being
auto-installed when the integration is deployed via HACS,
requiring manual pip install.
Questions:
• Is there a specific format/version requirement for manifest.json
that enables automatic pip installation?
• Is this a known HAOS limitation with custom integrations?
• Should I add the homeassistant version requirement differently?
• Any workarounds for ensuring deps are installed?
Theories on API Issue:
- Geographic IP blocking?
- ISP-level filtering?
- API provider blocking cloud/container IPs?

Any input on either issue appreciated! 🙏
