Car charging wallbox - help needed

Hi Community,
please I need help to choose a fixed installation charging wallbox for private use that without problems communicate with Homey (without any complicated workaround).

Many thanks

I am using the Amina s. See this thread for my experiences.

What I really like about it:

  • the design: really small and slick
  • Fixed cable: no hassle with cables, no bulky connector (contributing to the sleek design)
  • Local zigbee connection: not cloud dependend. I have it over a year now, no issues
  • No cloud connection, so no risk on external interference.
  • Easy to install
  • Enough control via home (see the thread mentioned above)

Negative

  • no cloud connection: firmware upgrades need to be done with a special app
  • No dedicated app: only controlled by smart hubs like homey. Might be an issue with the WAF (Wife acceptance factor). No problem for me…
  • Switching phases (1 to 3phase) is only active after switching off+on, makes the flow a bit more complex
  • no dedicated load balancer (but you can build it with homey)

Have a look at the Best Buy guide EV chargers

I have the myenergi zappi. It is a bit more expensive. I do not know, if it is really better, but it does everything I need, incl. PV integration. The measurement of the PV surplus (in my set-up) is not exact, which leads to some issue on cloudy days. But in general it works well.
