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?
How do you try to adjust?
I guess you are running a flow?
Please provide a screenshot..
But I guess this has nothing to do with the setting in Amina ?? but it the normal homey red triangle of a step in a flow failing,
Thank you for your response. The errors occur in a flow and also in the configuration menu. Here are the screenshots.
Advanced settings also has the same issue, see last screenshot from previous post.
I fixed it by resetting and reconnecting the Amina to Homey. I can now set values up to 16A.
Happy to hear it works now.
And luckily a reset does not kill your flows
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.
Our standby power usage is about 600W.
A wait in reality it is charging on 3 phase.
i had this issue with my charger too, it was solved by a newer firmware version for the Amina.
i reported in in the thread above
You can find it here
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:
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.
This question was already asked to Amina (somewhere on this forum). Especially interesting when you want to mange the charger on surplus energy of your solar panel, which dows result in hige number of switches.
Amina responded that it is not a problem, the breakers are specified to handle huge amounts of switches.
Thank you for the information! I appreciate it
