Goodmorning. Thanks in advance for the outstanding work. I have two Zaptec chargers. They both don’t show yet in the energy tab of Homey Pro. I am running 1.10.4. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Hello! Quick question
Can I send individual current info to chargers if I have several Zaptec Go 2 chargers, or do all chargers need to share the same current info?
Scenario:
Available current:
P1: 22A P2: 16A P3: 16A
Send to charger 1:
P1: 16A P2: 16A P3: 16A
Send to charger 2:
P1: 6A P2: 0A P3: 0A
This way I can force charger 1 to charge ”fast” and charger 2 to charge slow insted of they both charging at the same ”slow/medium” speed at P1: 6A P2: 6A P3: 6A each.
Hi
I have an issue with the zaptec connection. That I cannot get resolved. After 1 day or so it loses connection. Not that it display the red triangle, but when I try to update the charging state it gives an timeout error. Restarting the app usually works. However I was hoping not having to restart the app every 12 hours for my other flows to work. Anyone know how to fix this.
i am running a 23 model over WiFi and have assigned a static IP to the charger. The charger is a Zaptec Go.

Hi
I’m using a Zaptec Go 2 with Sense and a Homey Pro (early 2019). Is it possible to view the current for each separate phase from the Sense meter? In the Zaptec Homey app I can only display the charging current for each phase but I would like to be able to view my total current.
I have my Zaptec charger connected to my Tibber app, and set it up to Grid Rewards that charges the car automatically to 100% before a defined time I have set (6:00 the next morning). It also checks how the load on the power grid (total in my area) is, so when there is much usage in the power grid it stops the charging, and then resumes when the load is lower. For that I get rewarded with money that gets subracted from the power bill.
But sometimes I need to use the car later in the evening and then need to charge the car manually. This works if I open the Tibber app and start the charging from there. But I want to do it from Homey and Google Home (voice commands).
But I get an error message trying to start the charging from Homey. See below. Anyone know what this can be. Is it possible to do it like I describe, or do I need to disconnect it from the Tibber app to make it work like this?
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to buy a charging device for my car, and one of the important requirements is that it integrates very well with Homey Pro 2023.
Can anyone share their experience with the Zaptec Go 2 and Homey Pro 2023?
Specifically:
• Does it work reliably?
• Which features are supported in Homey (e.g., current power, energy usage, load balancing, scheduled charging)?
• Any recommendations or pitfalls to watch out for?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jan
Maybe Tibber uses another method to pause the charging, for example by lowering the charge current below the 6A minimum (charging stops). You can try increasing the limit first via Homey to see if that works.
Pausing charging via Zaptec isn’t very reliable; my car sometimes restarts charging at random times. This might vary from car to car, but that might have been a reason for Tibber to adjust the pausing method.
For the past 7 years I have been using a Zappi charger for my EVs. I had this connected to Homey and using the Power by the Hour app I was able to keep track of the costs of my charging sessions. Data was coming to Homey in near realtime.
Yesterday I replaced the Zappi with a Zaptec Go 2. I have successfully added the charger to Homey and I am able to start and stop charging etc. My problem is that status updates from the charger to Homey are very slow. Some measures seem to be updated only once in 5 minutes, but the main issue is that “Energy this year” was last updated 9 hours ago when I’m writing this post. This makes it impossible for Power by the Hour to keep track of costs because the price changes every 15 minutes. To reliably do this, this meter would have to be updated at least once a minute.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Is there some setting I can change?
Update: I see that the signed meter value gets updated every hour. That is still not sufficient for 15 min pricing, but better than the other measure. Could that value somehow be used in the Homey energy dashboard and the Power by the hour app?
