Looks good, nice to see and learn the different approaches to “surplus charging”. This flow has a lot of similarities with the one I created. > [@\[APP\] amina - Power up your smart home with Amina S](https://community.homey.app/t/app-amina-power-up-your-smart-home-with-amina-s/114193/6): > > Surplus solar energy charging Only use the surplus of your solar energy to charge your EV. To minimise your energy returned to grid. Restrictions: EV’s generally require a minimum of 6A (1.4kW) to start charging Current adjustment is at 1A resolution so you will not always get 0 (1A = 220W ) The flow supports dynamic phase switching between 1 and 3 phases (Switching does require a Off+On of the Amina to be effective) Below is my flow (which is also usable for other chargers, with adaption… I see you are using a “momentum” for charging. If that makes it too “jumpy” you can consider to “average” the measurements (you can check my post to see how). I have some devices (quooker) that cause short high peaks that I do not want to respond to… Depending on the amount of panels you have you might need to add switching between 1 and 3 phase --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/charging-ev-with-advanced-flows/66223)._
