OpenEVSE/EmonPi integration

Integrations OpenEVSE
1

Hi
Looking to put a package together to:
Charge my Leaf (30A)
Divert PV when available (new SMA SB3.6-1AV-41)
Charge off-peak (pref voltage contact but timer OK)
Phone app or PC browser for monitoring and control of OpenEVSE
Log the lot to an EmonCMS host

It looks like OpenEVSE, a type B RCD and an EmonPi will do the trick but not sure of all the options needed.
Wifi will be difficult so is direct ethernet an option (for both)?
Is there any way of integrating the SMA inverter directly without an EmonPi?

Ideally I’m looking for a list of items to purchase. :slightly_smiling_face:
Thanks

Hi Mike,

Yes, a single-phase 7kW OpenEVSE / EmonEVSE can do all those functions. There is a live demo of the web interface here: https://openevse.openenergymonitor.org
and setup guide: EV Charging - Guide | OpenEnergyMonitor

emonPi solar PV will be required to monitor solar PV: Solar PV - Guide | OpenEnergyMonitor

Currently, the OpenEVSE / EmonEVSE is WiFi only. A WiFi extender / AP can be used if needed .
