Extra information:
The API is very extensive. My focus is on the following points:
Prio 1:*
Set Loadbalancing.
The configuration of the power per phase defines the maximum power output which is available for charging the electric car. This is an officially supported feature of the API.
This function allows to individually control the charging based on the available power from a PV system. It also allows to prevent load shedding when too many end users (heating, etc.) are in operation at the same time as charging at certain times.
- Current status (car connected, charging, no car connected etc.)
- Current charge (kW)
- Charging power (kWh)
- Start / Stop charging process
etc.
Functionalities for authorization of loading processes (commercial) are out of scope.
