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.
