PELS 3.6.0 is now live. There have been a few fairly substantial additions, so a quick overview:
- Built-in Easee control: PELS can now adjust charging current directly on supported Easee chargers, without requiring a Flow for every charging level. Existing Flow-based configurations continue to work, and using the built-in control is optional.
- Setup & recommendations page: It can point out things such as:
- devices where built-in control is available
- Flows that may conflict with PELS
- cars that can be associated with a charger for battery readings
- 15-minute electricity prices:. This means price-based temperature adjustments can react within the hour rather than treating the whole hour as having one price level.
- 15-minute capacity control: PELS can now manage capacity based on a 15-minute average rather than only an hourly average.
- Export prices from Homey Energy: For homes with solar, you can also choose whether the export price should come from the values configured in PELS or from the export price configured in Homey Energy.
- Direct Power by the Hour integration: PELS can now get electricity prices directly from Power by the Hour. No Flow is needed between the two apps.
