Here u go šŸ™‚ the short version. I use the P1 meter of the house to see what i have to put in the car (it measures every 10 sec). 1. First i calculate the watts to amps: 2. Then i calculate how many Amps i have to put in the car: So the Amps from charger minus the Amps of the house = the Amps i have to set the charger to. 1. Now i know what to set the charger onā€¦ ![homey-ev-charge-with-solor-lader-instellen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/4/c47c0016f424ac6a83db0bbe55666c142a9604e5.jpeg) I could put the variable straight in the set ā€œdynamic charger currentā€ but i put a extra check in it to make sure that the value is correct. I donā€™t stop the charging of the car (donā€™t want that) but offcourse this is easy to add if u want to. Iā€™m going to make a long post on our website and youtube channel. This is how i looks like in real life: P1: ![homey-ev-charge-with-solor-chart-01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/5/a5976bcd8cb705ee69de0e129bed5d92d79a3e2f.jpeg) Charger: ![homey-ev-charge-with-solor-chart-02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/4/b4d3095cef7fa6a8540bfb25a01c0cdf72333a44.jpeg) Sometimes to charger jumps a bit when there is no sun but this is not a real problem. I tried to fix this using the ā€œaverage or trends cardā€ but was not happy with the results. ---

Thanks, inspiringā€¦ I am using the dynamic circuit current, not the dynamic charging currentā€¦ (Not sure if it makes a big difference just having one charger) Are you using 1phase charging? 3phase charging? Or both? I am using 1phase charging for the moments of low sunshine (1.38kWh, 6A) going up to 3.58kWh, 16A) then switching to 3phase (4.14kWh, 18A) going up to 11kWh, 48A ---

My approach (just started setting up) is a bit different. I am using the [insight trends app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-insight-trends-reloaded/71307) to calculate the avarage of the P1 signal over 15 min. Recalculating that (just like you) to a current. Based on the trend (also from insight trends) of the [expectedsun](https://community.homey.app/t/verwachtte-zonnige-minuten-obv-weersvoorspelling-op-jouw-locatie/111197/11) script ([changed](https://community.homey.app/t/verwachtte-zonnige-minuten-obv-weersvoorspelling-op-jouw-locatie/111197/26) to 1hr iso 3hr) I decide if I actually want to update the current ---

> [@Domotica-blog.nl](#): > > Dynamic charger current What is your experience with using the dynamic charger current? I am using the ā€œdynamic circuit currentā€ what notice (just 2 days of playing around) is that is seems to only adjust the current for even value. The odd values (changing from 6A to 7A do show in the easee app as an updated current limit.

Donā€™t think it makes any differences if u use the circuit or current. I have 1 fase and 1 charger. I tried with the insight and trends but the charger was always behind the P1 and using to much power or not enough to burn the solar away šŸ™‚ Dynamic charger current is working fine here. I didnā€™t notice any weird behavior. But let me check when the car needs charging. ---

Hi! Is it possible to make us use variables when creating schedules? Maybe possible to create the schedule with homeyscript? Iā€™m trying to create some dynamic window for charging dynamically - maybe someone already has something working? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/4/f4be71cf9b488e8a9467582e9d3667ed4a77c225.png) ---

When activating a charging session, the actual start price is normally used as the price for the entire charging session time. Mostly price goes up every hour after the start. I created a flow that calculates the highest average within known dynamic prices, follows price increase (8H) and decrease (price now) to the calculated average for a weighted starting price every hour. It still follows price changes but is a little more fair if you want to reimburse actual charging. You can change the average pricing calculation by changing the calculation formula as you like.

I periodically get the error message _ā€œFailed to set charger dynamic current. Reason: post ā€˜/api/chargers/{charger\_id}/settingsā€™: Access token expired (401)ā€_. There was a power outage in my region the day before. Could there be a problem related to trying to acquire the access token when the Homey is not connected to the internet? My network equipment takes some time to start up after the power outage. Restarting the app fixes the problem. Have made a Diagnostics Report: bd437e18-5acd-4c2b-b769-0b295a25a29d ---

> [@Morgan](#): > > With charger access **locked** I cannot control the dynamic circuit current I used the locked feature myself, and it works great here. However, I donā€™t touch the dynamic circuit current; I use the dynamic charger current. I also turn on the charger, i.e., start charging first, before changing the dynamic charger current. There are many places where you can limit the charging current. The Homey Easee app doesnā€™t set any default values for dynamic circuit current, for instance. It comes from the Easee side. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/a/ba1fe5ca2066ff7d1edf39ac3c19bc2e5dab4d9d.jpeg) ---
