Home Assistant (nerdy) charging automation

[scharnhorst310]

Automations are available , have you looked into that?

I've not gone too deep with it, but it seems pretty basic/closed system at the moment.

actual photos of the HA dashboard would've been nice.

Not sure what you'd like to see from the dashboard but this is my basic one for the card. Openevse charger and ferdinand is the nickname for the car.

I never really touch anything on this since it is all automated, but i've got a android tablet running in kiosk with this view as well.

in this instance the car could charge at 8 amps and be at 60% by 6am. It has opened my eyes to the fact that although it is good to have the ability to charge at 40 amps, i bet the majority of people could get by at 15 amps most days.

Thanks. I’m considering switching my EVSE’s to an open sourced OCCP server and trying to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze since there is no HA plugin for Autel.

For me, i really like it. Just having this level of control within HA is really nice. Not to mention now that i've had a few products and their manufacturers ending support; so this is just working without anyone else is sort of nice.
