Hi All,
I am a new Homey user. I have a Alfen S Line charger. I am able to connect to it using this app. Thanks to MrDutchfighter for creating it! Also thanks to everyone that has commented in this thread. It has already been very insightful.
I’ve got a couple of questions, perhaps others can help me with.
- Did you have to install a specific version of the firmware in the charger for everything to work with Homey? Reason I ask is because my supplier/service provider (Coolblue, do not recommend) doesn’t support newer versions of the firmware offered by Alfen, even though the MyEve app keeps telling me my firmware is out of date.
- Does changing the charging mode during charging mean you have to reconnect the actual plug or can it switch during charging?
- If I want my charger to charge with just solar energy ( I have solar panels at home) is setting the charge mode to green (100%) enough or should I also change the Phase and amp settings? Keeping in mind that I do not care if the charge speed with this setting is extremely slow. I don’t mind if it trickle charges, as long as I am using my Solar energy efficiently
- If I want the charger to automatically start charging when there is sufficient solar energy, would I need to already have ’ started’ a charging session, i.e. using my RFID card to activate the charger or is there also a way to do this for which I would not have to be present. Assuming of course the charge cable is plugged in. |
I am grateful for any help
