It almost looks like we're joining civilisation at last 🏎️⚡️😀
#Zappi
@decryption Nice. It has the automatic charging, only charging with excess solar. But it isn't clear how this is detected or if the mode has a minimum of 1.5kW rate of charge and will increase on more solar. I love that feature with the new #Zappi.
The #Myenergi #Zappi has the benefit of a panel and display on the front so you can change settings locally if internet is out etc.
I personally have a Zappi and it has been rock solid for the 3 years I've owned it.
I have looked at the Hypervolt, and that is good too.
If you just want something to set and forget, any will work fine.
If you want to do any automation or perhaps integration with say #Octopus tariffs then the Zappi and Hypervolt are integrated at the charger level with say Intelligent Octopus Go. They also have good support via Home Assistant.
I'm about to move, and I inherit a Pod Point Solo 3S, and the fact that I am going to replace that asap with a Zappi should tell you something about both models :)
After 4.5 years of use our #Zappi has gone pop. The tide mark shows the problem and that water and electricity don’t mix! How common are such problems with #EV chargers?
#AIA, #Zappi: "Non si può accusare il nostro mondo per aver rispettato il protocollo IFAB. Secondo me va aggiornato questo protocollo, lo dico da sempre. Ma è una cosa che non compete all’AIA"

Presently I manage my #growatt solar hybrid inverter and batteries through a combination of the #shinephone app, the #growatt web portal, and #homeassistant
This works fine for normal stuff, although I need to manually control battery charging times to match up with #OctopusEnergy tariff I'm on of #IntelligentOctopusGo
None of this is too difficult, but it is a bit annoying to have to remember to do all the right things in order to control the combination of kit and my #Myenergi #Zappi charger to ensure charger my #EV doesn't drain my solar batteries.
So I thought I would give #WonderWatt a trial and see if this helps automate and manage schedules and IOG charging correctly.
They offer a 14-day trial, which doesn't appear to be functionally limited, so I'm able to confirm if this does meet all my needs. A monthly subscription of around $6 (not sure what that is in £ for me in the UK) isn't too bad a deal if indeed it does simplify everything for me.
My very first EV charger has been fitted, thanks Octopus! Now to integrate the #zappi into #HomeAssistant...

Total household electricity consumption since installing the #Zappi EV charger.
I realise I’m late to the game with this, but I find it really interesting to see the house base load (fridge, freezer, lights, WiFi, etc) steady around 200W, with small peaks from cooking. The big peaks are EV charging.
Any #mastodaoine signed up with Go Plugable / Plugable app for EV charging - either as a charger or a host? The hope is we get an EV later this year, but we’ve a Zappi in since last year and turns out you can let people charge at yours so I’m keen to hear any stories from either side, especially if you’ve used that app (or recommend a similar one)? #Zappi #EVCharging #GoPlugable #EV
Vorteil, wenn man den #Heimspeicher Lade'algorithmus' selbst schreibt: Mal eben das Entladen in den #Elektroauto Tank verhindern, wenn kurzzeitig zu wenig vom Dach kommt. 🤓

We got the battery down to about 9% by which point the discharge rate had dropped to about 350W (it seems to start to drop around 18%) so if we want to get it really low we need more time in the equation. Note made.
I had set the #Zappi smart #EV charger to the "Stopped" status to prevent it soaking up the export and when the timed schedule came around to restart the charging as the price dropped, the Zappi did not start to boost. I needed to reset the Zappi status to our default "Eco+" mode for the boost charging session to start. Note made.
So, I think I have all of the settings and controls I need to make this work as smartly as possible, now it's writing the rules and building the automation.
