Smart outdoor plug - chargertype
There's a new chargertype in town!
In order to help a broader crowd, I've started to implement support for smart plug/outlet as chargertype.
This type requires a connected plug which can report power-usage and has an on/off switch. Both are added in the config-flow if you choose that type as charger.
A few important things to note:
- Peaqev cannot control which outlet you use for this. Make sure to use a secure, outdoors compatible and reliable one, fit for more power than you intend to charge with
- Set your travel-charger to the lowest possible amps before connecting (peaqev obviously cannot update the amps for this chargertype, so in order to stay below peaks and charge when elprice is lowest, go as low as you can)
- You utilize all things here at your own risk. So once again, be sure to pick a secure outlet
This type is considered beta, some initial function tests have been carried out, but it might not even start for you. Please report issues in the issues-section as you find them, and we'll try to make this one possible together.
Changes
- #144 - Smartplug chargertype
- Misc fixes to hourselection to hopefully stabilize updates from Nordpool
Has Peaqev helped you save money? If so, please consider buying me a coffee or becoming a Github-sponsor. Every bit helps and is much appreciated!
