awaiting_start

Hi
My charging wont start because the status of Easee charger is "Awaiting Start".

I have the car plugged in, and 3800W available.

When I try to manually start charging from Easee app, it's saying "Waiting for smart charge"

If I manually set the dynamic limit to 16, the charger starts, and your Node-RED automation is "live"

Am I missing something?

Thank you

Hi.
This part of the flow is responsible for starting the charge:

Easee recently changed something in their API, so you could try to edit the "Start Charging" node to start instead of resume:

Please let me know if that solves the problem, then I will update the code in the yaml file.

Hi

I will try and test it today.

Before your reply, my solution was this:

After today I will give you feedback whether this worked or not.

Just one question, when you start the charging, why are you sending 1x6 A when production is just above 1000W ? Can't this wait and be handled by the "Solar-Charging adjust power" function?

I have also changed the filter, so it doesn't look at the PV production but calculates the available power from:

• Charging power
• Export to GRID
• Battery charge/discharge

And if the battery is below, available power is withdrawn by 5000 W which is the maximum charging power for my battery, so it will charge the house battery before the cars.
