question

i added your email to my victron, can you please help me?

hm thats not quit like that, you are right i am not allowed to feed in right now, but since i had other problems without feeding in, we opened it and limitid it to 200 watts!

yes that worked, thanks.

Are you planing to make an seperate app for IOS/Android fo the EV Charging station some day?

Same here. Can charge only by manuel mode. In Autmatic mode the charger say waiting for sun. When my 51kw housbattery is full, the mppt going down and dont load to the car. Calibraitong os also done (many times). Habe also the newest Firmware 1.24.

Please help.

Do you have an off grid algorithm yet?

If not, is it possible to just add something that once the house battery reaches XX%, start the EV charger and once the battery reaches YY% stop the charger. Even though it won't be perfect, at least the charger will be usable in automatic mode.

you are doing a great job dev team, nice features

Hello guys,

Where I can download new fw for Ev charging station, I meet the same problem with "waiting sun" in automatic mode...

Have a nice day

@Lucian, what is the threshold when the charger starts charging in automatic mode? is it when there is surplus of energy at the grid connection point? and how does it determine that a minimum load of 6Ax230Vx3 (4140 Watts) is needed to actually start the onboard charger of the vehicle itself?

greetings, Harold

Hallo in die Runde! Ich habe schon länger das gleiche Problem. Manuell geht die Ladung des Ev aber nicht automatisch obwohl die Sonne scheint und mehr als 8kW bereitstehen und der Akku einen SOC von 92% hat (bei mir so als Maximum eingestellt im BMS). Er hatte schon einmal im automatischen Modus geladen ( von der PV und zusätzlich bis SOC 80% aus dem Akku dann wieder Akku bis auf SOC 98% geladen und dann wieder bis auf 80% runter. Es ist auch schon passiert, das er gegen 19:30 und bewölktem Himmel einfach angefangen hatte automatisch zu laden. Ich habe derzeit noch keine Möglichkeit in das Netz einzuspeisen, da der Zähler noch nicht getauscht wurde. Woher weis denn der EV-Charger, das genug Energie (> 6kW) vorhanden ist? Derzeit startet die automatische Ladung nie mehr. Ich habe SW1.26 C025 geladen. Jetzt gibt es wieder für den MP II und Cerbo neue SW. hat das damit etwas zu tun?

Hello to the group! I've had the same problem for a long time. Manually, however, the charge of the Ev does not go automatically even though the sun is shining and more than 8kW are ready and the battery has a SOC of 92% (for me set as a maximum in the BMS). He had already charged once in automatic mode (from the PV and additionally to SOC 80% from the battery then charged again up to SOC 98% and then again down to 80%. It has already happened that he had simply started to charge automatically around 19:30 and cloudy sky. I currently have no possibility to feed into the network, as the metre has not yet been replaced. How does the EV charger know that has enough energy (> 6kW)? Currently, the automatic charging never starts again. I have loaded SW1.26 C025. Now there is again a new SW for the MP II and Cerbo. Does that have anything to do with it?

Hi Mathias,

thanks for your reply. I don not have any problems with auto charging, it does work but I was just curious when it would start to load. I'm developing some scripts in Nodered to automatically switch between auto and manual. Ans when running in manual, I also want to change the Amps so it stays within margins and does not draw the battery. I'm running the Dynamic ESS software since a few months and I'm trying to balance the whole system based on dynamic prices.

Have you checked the settings in the charger itself? There are two settings that determine when to stop and start.

BTW, I'm running v1.25 but will upgrade right now. Let's see if that does bring some new things.
