Smappee Charger Feature?

[brodykenrick]

Hi,

I have a Smappee Infinity + Genius Gateway and also the EV Wall Business charger as well as a few Smappee Switches. I have also subscribed for the API license.

The support in Home Assistant from your/this integration on all the power consumption and control of the switches is great. Not having the power consumption of the EV is a big gap in my monitoring though.

I'd love to see the EV charging consumption (live power) and the energy consumed (and sessions) as available in the API but not reflected in this library.

To be able to control the charging mode (standard vs surplus) and the max current for charging would be fantastic for visibility and control of our carbon emissions (we are aiming for absolute zero emissions in our house which requires a bit of juggling).

Are there plans for adding in aspects of support for the EV?

Cheers, Brody

+1, would be highly useful, as Smappee is unable to account for home battery

+1, also looking for the charger integration

I have a Smappee connect and a Smappee wall charger for an EV. I would like Smappee to add a dynamic market rate for Amber Electric in Victoria Australia in the car charging app. What I am hoping to do is charge the car when electricity is cheap and turn it off when the price rises.

Failing that, integration in Home Assistant. It's holding me back from further investment in energy efficiency and is making Smappee look like a poor option when compared to others.

I expect you saw the workaround I did to use an AppDaemon app over at https://community.home-assistant.io/t/smappee-charger-with-postman/551206/4

I have a more complete AppDaemon than posted there that controls my charger based on grid, solar and battery power and house battery SoC from powerwall sensors and the EV SoC from a WiCan dongle. It also factors in Amber costs and the carbon costs.

That allows me a few sensible targets and auto modes to automate the car charger.

would be nice to add it in HA

Please make work of this. I currently use OCPP to interface with the charging station. But the smappee implementation of OCPP isn't spec compliant either causing a lot of gaps in the practicality.
