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

The same here

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

[pjcarly]

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.

[scruysberghs]

Started working on an small integration specifically for this.
Add it trough HACS and give it a try : https://github.com/smartenergycontrol-be/home-assistant-smappee-charging-profiles
Let me know if there is any interest to add more features to this.

@scruysberghs Nice

thank you

even better would be local support but that is up to Smappee to provide endpoints

[pjcarly]

@scruysberghs this is wonderful. Thank you so much. I'm very interested in updates and new features. But nevertheless already huge kudos for your time and effort.

I would like to integrate a smappee EV Wall home (home connect) charger so that it will load my car automatically when grid price is low or solar production is high this in combination with a home battery (home battery may not load the car) and I want to keep the peak consumption low. Is this possible? Or is this possible in combination with genius?

[scruysberghs]

It is possible to set charging power using this integration. Making sure you only charge during cheapest moments of dynamic pricing and keep your max consumption below a limit for capacity has to be done trough automations in Home Assistant or the evcc.io add-on+integration ISo it is kind of possible but the current Smappee api for charging stations is quite limited. You can't start a session or read out how much power is drawn in realtime. You can only set the charging current. Op za 11 jan 2025 om 20:32 schreef Peterdo-bel ***@***.***>:
