Issue with charging car but beyond homey

Questions & Help
1

Hi,

I hope somebody can help me with this issue. I know it’s an issue beyond Homey’s boundaries, but I thought, let’s give it a shot with so many smart people on this platform. Maybe somebody had the same thing and fixed it.

So, my issue…
We have a hybrid car (Peugeot 3008 latest model) which charges on 1 phase.
We have a charger (ratio solar) which is connected on 3 phases.
We have a sensor box for load balancing.
Solar panels are there. Which are from Enphase.
Homewizard battery (2x)

Now the issue… When I plug in the cable to charge the car, and it’s sunny outside, or the batteries are full (1% and higher) nothing happens when starting to charge. And I’ve tried everything.
Switching back to basic, smart, solar-smart, in the charger app. Played around with the settings for the amount of A for the house, charger etc in the charger app.
In the winter it worked pretty okay. But know with the summer time it’s sucks when you press the charge button in the app and nothing happens. Charger goes standby and you have to try again to start, stop, start stop etc…

Added my charger to Tap Energy, maybe they can override some things and push to start charging. Which worked in the past, but not anymore.
Added homewizard P1 api V2 to put the Battery in standby.
Nothing happens. Looks like the battery is going in standby. Fun thing is that I still see 0 consumption on the dashboard little screen from Homewizard. Which means that the battery is still working and is not in standby.

Right now I’m at a point where I want to call the dumpster truck and dump the Homewizard batteries, the Ratio charger in the dumpster and start all over with everything from Enphase.

But that is not a solution :slight_smile: And my wallet doesn’t like that :wink:

I hope anyone has ever seen this before and knows what to do. My wife needs her car in the morning and when it doesn’t charge… I rest my case :smiley:

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thanks
Henk

Found a way to put the battery in standby. Didn’t change anything. But that works.
The homewizard app is awesome with the settings. The tap electric application struggles to work but that will come later.

And I just changed the car from the 3008 plugin (1 phase) to our other 2008 full electric (3 phases). Pressed the charge button on the tap electric app and bam, full charging.

Tried some other things and it looks like the car is not communicating. Tried a charger outside and that didn’t work either. Display said: waiting for car to respond. Tried it directly with the cable in the outlet. You know, the one that just pushes the power and nothing else, and that worked.

So back to the dealer….

And now it’s playing with the HomeWizard app, tap energy app trying to get the best combination for charging. No dynamic rates yet.
