Your config looks ok to me.
Do you have an active load balancing license and have you activated it like shown belown with the Alfen service installer?

[rolandbreedveld]

Yes, Thanxz, I have Active Load balancing enabled, after choosing "Energy Management System" communication is working now, but I get:
[alfen ] DEBUG 2023/01/18 13:40:19 detected 1p alfen
[main ] FATAL 2023/01/18 13:40:19 missing loadpoints

[premultiply]

Your evcc configuration is incomplete.
The loadpoint config is invalid.

[rolandbreedveld]

@premultiply any idea how this must be ? for me it looks like its correct

[premultiply]

I don't know. Your config is missing...
evcc dump --cfg

[at4hawo1]

Seems your loadpoint config is not correct. How does yours look like? for comparison, mine is:

loadpoints:
- title: Alfen Wallbox
  charger: wallbox5
  vehicle: ev4
  mode: pv
  soc:
    estimate: true
  enable:
    delay: 1m
    threshold: 0
  disable:
    delay: 1m
    threshold: 200
  guardduration: 2m
  phases: 0
  mincurrent: 6
  maxcurrent: 16
  resetOnDisconnect: true
