[APP][Pro] Easee charger - Small. Smart. Full of power

back to english :wink:

What do you mean by “heen en weer gespring”?
If you re-calculate the value every 15sec you are very sensitive to spikes (and cloud).
I use the Median over 1 minuut.
Still jumping, but every minute iso 15sec and averaging out spikes by the median

The resolution of steering is 1A SO you will always deviate a bit.
typically 1A x 220V= 220W plus of minus.

In another thread I shared my flow for my amina charger.
It works fine nicely arouns +/-220W as expected I
Even when the dishwasher disturbs it a lot by heating on/of

You can find that flow in this thread.
It also has the importe (TEF) posted there to import the flow in your homey

Mostly the same except for the dynamisch phase switching

Your basic calculation

is the same as mine


Main difference:

  • I am using the median as calculation for “Huidig vermogen”
  • I am using the measured Voltage, that can be deviating from 230V when there is a lot of solar production.
  • Ik throw in a correction because I see the Current setting to the charger is not resulting in that actual current.
  • I am recalculating every minute iso every 15sec

So I guess the 1minute and using the mean is doing the trick…?

Thank you for sharing. The fluctuations are around 2000 watts (more than 1A) so its strange, especially since there were no clouds or large electrical devices in use during my testing. I’ll try your setup for a few days and report back here with my findings. :smiley:

This was my charging today.
The big spikes down are caused by dynamic phase changes (1phase to 3phase or back) that requires a shut down op the charger. After that the current changes with factor 3…
The spikes up are my quooker (they do not influence rhe setting)

But the in general the line is nice and flat

Thanks, will look into this next week.

Is your Easee charger showing up in the energy tab? Mine is not, in the list of ‘grootverbruiker’ it is shown but without data. I see other screenshots with a charger even in the main energy tab house, but also there a no show. I read in posts to change the device type, but cannot find such a setting. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Same here

Correction, just noticed an update of the app is available. After the update it shows

Here also now in Grootverbruikers, but not in overview picture house (garage open, car charging) as seen in other threads.

After a ping and code produced by @Sharkys (guess it is you at least :sweat_smile:) there is a new test version with support for the current version of Homey Energy.
I have deprecated a number of triggers, conditions and actions in preparation for later removal of the onoff capability - it is replaced by the evcharger_charging capability with its default flow triggers, condition and actions.

Ok, found out tonight that the car have charged 4,5h too long (“too” high energy prices), saw the pause/stop/else card is missing. So, what should I choose (future proof) to

  • start charging?
  • stop charging?


My bad! The action “Control charger / Styr laddarens funktion” was deprecated 2.5 years ago. I removed it in the latest version, thinking and hoping that no users would still be using it. Since it was deprecated, no user has been able to add it to a new flow since October 2022.

The latest and greatest is to use the start and stop charging actions. These are the actions that are required for ev chargers to be compliant with the Homey Energy concept.

My Easee charger show up on the Energy tab, but without any data.
The two (by default) hidden capabilities, “Last 30 days” and “Last month” also don’t show data anymore.

New test version released that fixes the problem with “Last 30 days” and “Last month”.
The Energy concept is still evolving I suspect. From an evcharger device type perspective I have added what logic I can add.

yes, the hidden capabilities works with the test version, thanks.

Trigger “Charger status changed” seems to been removed. By purpose?
My flows stopped working. Now I have to make a trigger card “Charger status changed to [status]” for every status i want to test.

Yes, that trigger was deprecated two years ago. The replacing trigger is the one that you mentioned. There were complaints that it wasn’t possible to filter on the status in the trigger.

These days, Athom also offers built-in status handling, native to Homey. The EV Charger charging state changed.

Fine, I asked because the card worked for me the last time June, 13. I know that because I am logging status changes of the Easee to a Google Sheet. Also it worked well with filtering by a logic card.

The card “The EV Charger charging state changed [status]” is good but would be better if it is possible to not add filter to it. If [status] is optional, then it will would be able to use the same way as the old one.
