I installed the Amina today. The internal dial is set to 16A, and I have power-cycled the unit. However, when I attempt to adjust the charging current through Homey, a red warning triangle appears and the current setting does not change. The only setting that works is 6A. I made sure to stop the charging session before trying to modify the current. Is there something I might be overlooking? ---

Thank you for your response. The errors occur in a flow and also in the configuration menu.

What does it show in the advanced settings? And can you manually chagr these? ![IMG_6484](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/2/f231da6d9debcdef07d09ab222b36383b120c51b.jpeg) ![IMG_6485](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/4/e457255e1e071ebe31fe82511810c269abebf876.jpeg) ---

I fixed it by resetting and reconnecting the Amina to Homey. I can now set values up to 16A. ---

Unfortunately it did kill all the flows. I had to rebuild them all. Luckily I did not have a lot of them yet. Did it not kill your flows than? ---

I have done a reset of the Amina several times. After reconnecting all flows automatically picked up again. I thougt that was a strong point so I mentioned it in the post linked above. Unfortunately it did not work like that for you ---

Unfortunately, I’ve encountered another issue with the Amina. The charger reports that it is charging on a single phase at 6A (1378 W), even though I have configured it for 3-phase charging at 6A. In reality, the power drawn from the grid — and as reported by the vehicle — is approximately 4 kW. However, Amina indicates that it is only supplying 1378 W on one phase. ![1000038774](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/2/c26a00e9618f68d1338adc465a57a18dad8d0dc0.jpeg) ![1000038777](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/c/4c811aea9218a6fbb38c85b8069ec6038f009722.jpeg) Our standby power usage is about 600W. ![1000038781](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/b/5b16edfe0ecb5fabcfc9fa410e4c42f8325b905a.jpeg) ---

A phase charging change requires a stop+Start charging to become effective. Did you do that? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/a/4a06cc1c846817b03d85fdf7bfe301691e366068.png) ---

After multiple attempts, I managed to reconnect the Amina to Homey. However, I had to recreate all of my flows from scratch. The 3 phase issue still persists, even after updating to the latest firmware version 1.34.1. Update: After a power cycle of the Amina charger and a reboot of the Amina Homey app it seems to work. ---

Does anyone know if you can pause charging without turning Amina off? On some chargers you can set max current to 0A and it will pause, but as we all know Amina in Homey throws an error if you try to set it below 6A. I know there is a “when”-card for “charging is paused” but I can’t find a whay to pause charging with a “then”-card. Anyone knows if there is a solution? Would like to not have to turn on and off the whole Amina as I have a script that pauses a lot during the night to make use of price fluctuations. ---

Have not seen it in the Amina app. What is the disadvantage of switching it off? Maybe you can solve it on the car side: - revoke the charging authorization of the car - Reduce the max charging level of the car - Reduce the max charging current of the car - Set a temporary schedule in the car ---

Thank for the recommendations! Unfortunately no way of controlling charging in the car from Homey. I just wanted to pause it instead of turning it off because the breaker makes a rather loud “clonking” sound when it switches off, and I just though turning it on and off all through night might lower the lifespan of the breaker itself. But I think that’s the way I have to go anyways. ---

> [@alexander\_d](#): > > and I just though turning it on and off all through night might lower the lifespan of the breaker itself. This question was already asked to Amina (somewhere on this forum). Especially interesting when you want to manage the charger on surplus energy of your solar panel, which does result in huge number of switches. Amina responded that it is not a problem, the breakers are specified to handle huge amounts of switches. ---
