Additional note:
While my primary goal is monitoring (SOC, battery voltage/current, alarms), having basic control capabilities via Homey would also be a clear advantage in the future.
For example, being able to adjust charge current limits or other non-ESS, DC-side parameters via GX/VRM would be very useful for off-grid systems.
I understand this may be outside the current scope, but I wanted to mention it as a potential future use case.
I cannot get a ev charger in homey. I fill in the correct IP and port. But it times out I know it is unit 40. What do I have to fill in in the setup at the bottom.
I checked the Victron spec for version 3.60. For the EV Charger Mode there is only 0=Manual;1=Auto available.
Without a VEBus you can’t add a GX device, but I don’t see that you need a GX device for what you want to do. Add a battery device to start with.
Everything connects to the IP address of your cerbo, not the ip address of the ev charger.
ah. thanks
Aha, that explains that Unknown mode appears in the device when I set scheduuler in Victron. Another issue is that the Charging state does not correspond to reality. The value does not change, in the streenshot you can see that there is no charging, therefore Status (Waiting for start) is correct but Mode is not.
