Home Assistant

[khikhi]

I was wondering if there is any Home Assistant users in this forum

I have my wife's Audi A3 eTron and car charger integrated to HA. Also Fronius solar system with smart meter included. But now when I get my Enyaq the efficient electrical ecosystem need to be rethinked.

Does anyone have good blueprints or best practices how to build efficient system? Electricity prices goes higher and higher so some times it's worth to sell over production rather than charge.

I have my Enyaq integrated with Home Assistant using HACS integration. I’ve setup an automation to notify me when my battery is low and another to change my Zappi charging mode based on Solar excess power.

I also plan to add an automation to remind me to plug in when I get home and there is excess Solar or when battery is low and charger is unplugged when home.

Can you share your integration, e.g. via GitHub?

I found the Skoda Connect. Is that what you are using?

Indeed it is Skoda Connect

Nice to see that there are some others with Home Assistant

I also have the connection to Enyaq with integration. That is actually working very well. I can't remember if I installed it by HACS or manually.

I have made a few automations to give commands to my car charger. Those are also working very well. I can control the charger on/off and also set the current level from 6A to 16A.
Home Assistant knows which car is connected and what is the current hour utility level and also the current electricity price.
Then I have a few different charger modes to select whether I need to charge with full power or optimize the pv-system for my own use or (as in past months) sell as much as possible because of high prices.

Few screenshots of related dashboards. Some text in Finnish, sorry.

I do use HA occasionally just to check the state of charge and battery charging on my Enyaq. My dashboard is nothing as comprehensive as yours.
I find the HA integration is more reliable and nearly always online too by having a more direct API connection with the servers, unlike the 'MySkoda' phone app which can frustratingly go offline just when you need it !

If you installed it through HACS you should get the alert/update for the latest Skoda Integration (V1.0.72). It says extra extra sensors have been added, although I don't think that any apply to the Enyaq just yet ! Maybe have to wait until ME3.2 ?

did anyone experiment with trip history data from ABRP exported as XLSX?
they contain elevation, speed, SoC, gps coordinates, timestamp, odometer..collected every 5 sec.
could be used as input to grafana to generate trip data on a map overlay / heatmap, derive consumption statistics, etc?

Wow, that is impressive work @khikhi.
While I'm still waiting for my car, also thinking about integrating it into my HASS. Did you do that dashboard by yourself, or have used some of available?

@lavir: Sorry to hear that your car is delayed so much... hard to understand why there is such a huge difference on our deliveries, since the orders have been done in the same month.

Yes, the dashboards are done by me and those changes all the time when I find some new ideas or needs.
With the current electricity price, the HA is a great tool to understand and control the consumption.
