[App][Pro] Easy Charge Controller

ECC will execute the when card when neccesary. That the whole point. ECC does not need to know what charger you have, it will start at 05 and stop at 06 in the case shown below

if it was unclear, this is the wiring.

The When card is ‘Start charing session’ could of cource had a name more like ‘Want to start a charging session’

Now it makes total sense! Thanks! :blush: Way simpler than I thought. Then basically creating a flow so that the controller gets info on the cars battery charge level on a fixed interval, I think I saw a flow like that in the documentation right?

64

good.

You will connect this flow

to execute when the SoC is changed. But you don’t have to, if not you must change the SoC manually in the device using the slider.

So if you are able to get the current SoC from your car, then you will call the ‘Update current State of Charge SoC card, only when a new value is received. If the the new SoC is not changed from the ECC value, nothing will happen.

I have a simular problem. I get the charging plan populated but the when card “Start charging session” is never executed. I don’t understand why. When the planned start is reached a new plan is created and the charge session is nor started. I tried to work with different “Charger status” with no luck. Great if you have a tip! Let me know if you need any more information. I don’t have a charger I try to get this to work with just a wall plug. Thanks @bwa for a great app! I would love to get it to work, it is what I has been searching for.

Are you getting a plan like this

and how is this looking at yours ?

This is what it looks like for me. Seems like I never get to from charging plan to active charging plan.

Hmm, you should have an active Chargingplan

But you must enure a flow kinda like this, to see if the ECC is initiating a start session flow at 22.00

This should not be null, so something is off here

I have this flow. It has never triggered.

send a diag, and I will check

I experience that the scheduled charging slot is sometimes recalculated when it changes from scheduled to active charging slot.

Say if the cheapest hours planned are from 12:00-14:00 but the car is connected at 12:10, then the charging is recalculated to 13:00-15:00, even though it would be cheaper to start the charging right away at 12:10.

Also it would be great if the ECC would be able have eg. 2 active charging slots, in order to charge at the absolute cheapest hours.

Example: Total needed charge duration of 3 hours before end time could result in charge for two hours, then pause for 5, then start again for 1 hour.

The starttime of next hour, is just a design desicion.

Also the continus charging periods, is also just a design choice.

Don’t expect it to change.
