DISCUSSION - Full EVCC config

[MrBLJ]

[!important] This is not an issue

Could you please provide your full EVCC config ? (discussions are not enabled, sorry for posting here)

[infinus]

Setup: EVCC and MQTT running on a raspberry pi. You will need to use Mqtt or some other integration to be able to pull the SOC of your car to make it work. Until I did this I could not get it to run out of EVCC. Since I already had a teslamate instance running I used that.

Thanks a lot this is helpful. I'm trying to figure out how to setup the system In my case : I have a my dumb wallbox for one car (model 3), and a simple plug for the other 'model y). I'm not sure about how to overcome the charger part of the config.

The full config you posted will help me get a better understanding of the system.

[infinus]

Honestly EVCC is great but it would be awesome if they could make a Tesla specific implementation that does not rely on the wall charger at all but instead identified if it is home or not based on location and received the connected status from the vehicle and not the charger.

[MrBLJ]

Looking at this it appears possible. Setup is getting complex though, i'll need to have a better look at it during the week.

@MrBLJ Are you using a custom charger in your config?

@MrBLJ Are you using a custom charger in your config?

For now I’m exploring different options. Evcc is not in use yet. Would you recommend using a custom charger ?
