Hi guys, I created an AVD from my (BlueCurrent/Umove) EV charger sensors coming out of HomeAssistant. The idea was to combine all sensors and make it available in Homey as 1 device and to be recognized as 'EV charger’.
I used the Device Class ‘ev-lader’ and added the Energie, Vermogen, Voltage, and Stroom sensors as real fields.
Now everything seems to work it is also recognised as consuming power in the energy overview. However in the Homey Energy tab (with the house) the EV Charger is supposed to be shown and the garagedoor should be opened. This is however not happening.
Can anyone confirm they have an AVD that is showing up in the (garage) Energy tab as EV Charger?
I just wondered why you’re not using the Home Assistant Community app to import a Home Assistant device and/or a bunch of entities instead?
It has everything in place to customise everything when you add the device as the “Custom device” type, including device class ‘EV-charger’
The first number field I create as Power(Vermogen kW) always gets the name Energieverbruik in stead of the name I gave. Is that the intended way it should work?
Was there ever a solution for creating a home battery that shows up correctly in the energy tab?
I’m trying to do the same for my Huaweii home battery. I have everything working for fetching the desired values using Modbus, but so far I’m not succeeding in a full integration with the dashboard.
Reading through this topic it appears that the conversation died after the suggestion that there might be a need for separate capabilities in this post.
How can I make a virtual button/device that can be used as a starter in Google Home automation? Initialy this was part of experimentation section in homey which is gone now. There I made an koffie machine that I was able to use as a starter. I did the same with DCA, but the device is even not seen by Google Home.
From what I know a virtual kettle and virtual lock can be selected as automation triggers.
Probably more device classes will fit as well, but you’ll have to experiment.
This can also be accomplished with the Advanced Virtual Device of this topic & app (Device Capabilities), you can even change the device class after adding the advanced virtual device.
