Read charging status

Open sveip opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Hi @wido, thanks for the project.

To accomplish load balancing, feedback from the slaves on charging presence and possibly rate is needed.

Have you investigated if that is possible?

Idea if possible: Read max amp car is able to receive, sum these numbers and divide on number of slaves, and set that as max charge current to prevent overloading fuse.

Thanks! I still have to work on this and have given this a low priority on my side. I'll probably pick up on this later this year

Great :) Do you know if there is a protocol description and/or API somewhere, I might get time to have a look.

Nope, not really. You will mainly need to dig into the RS485 messages

I see. I only have one TWC atm., so I guess that will not be super easy ;)
