    Here in Poland we have 1h balancing so it doesn’t matter if you take power for half hour and send power for half hour - it’s important to have the sum equal 0kWh. The same for 3 phases. You pay for the sum of them. So you can load 1 phase 2,4kW and send 2,4kW on L2 and you will still have 0kWh at the end of the hour. This simplified the setup a lot. In great scale this all averages over many users so it doesn’t matter for the grid.

    Já mám spíše problém sehnat rozumný mikrofon, který by slyšel alespoň v rámci jedné místnosti. Momentálně zkouším Jabra 410 za 500 z Marketplace a Add-on Assist microphone (oba). Zároveň zkouším cestu RTSP/RTP streamu přes integraci Stream Assist. Zatím se ale vždycky zaseknu na hluchém HW. Jinak Assist Jako takový se dá opravdu snadno doladit pomocí aliasů, případně dobře fungují automatizace spouštěné předdefinovanou větou. Tím se mi podařilo dobře eliminovat problémy s rozpoznáním entit. Ale k čemu to je, když HA nedokážu dát pořádné uši🤷‍♂️🙂

    You mentioned you have gas. If you have a water storage tank, look at something like a power diverter from myenergi. It is called Eddi. I use excess solar power to heat my hot water and so use less gas. In Germany we don't get much for pushing back into the grid so my goal is to consume as much as possible myself. The products from myenergi help a lot with that. Nice video.

    I also have a pulsar plus. I have a automation running on nodered to adjust the charging current based on the current consumption and the max power I have. I only have 6.9Kw available on my apartment and since the wallbox is on the garage a couple of floors down, I have a powerline to provide internet to the garage and then I have a Shelly EM on the main fuse box reading the consumption from the garage and the total consumption. It works well, never had the power trip due to over consumption

    Interesting exercise. My solution - inverter is symetric (Fronius), charget Go-E gemini flex charger 22kW. All I need to do is generate one MQTT message - how much solar is generating and how much do I take from/return to grid. The go-e will then calculate how much it can use and set the allowed current accordingly. On go-e you can even set the "threshold" - how much grid feed-in there needs to be before it even charges at all and how much grid feed should it keep - to make sure it does not charge the car from the grid. Works fully locally, no external API dependency, etc. Absolutely recommended.

    Interesting project - I did a similar project on an ABL-Wallbox which needed generic RS482-communication - which made the part of "talking" to the WB more complicated. I decided to uses MQTT for the WB-Communication and Node Red for the programming part. Our EV is a VW eUP that is capable for max. 2phase charging only - so so far a switch between 2 and 3 phase charging is not covered yet. On the WB I had the same situation, that the manuals offer to install the WB either for 1 or 3 phase charging (2-phase not mentioned. I implemented an standard 3x40A relais to interrupt phase 2 & 3 and a Shelly 3EM mainly for measurement. The relais of the Shelly is used to switch between 1 and 3 phase operation (via the 40A-Relais) - so no mode where I cant disconnect all phases. Thes was not documented anywhere but at least for load free switch between the modes thsi woks fine meanwhile for 3 years. I use this chance between 1 and more phases manual only by looking at the sky and the weather conditions. For my car I found, that it stopps charcing when charging is interrupted ~ more than 10 times and an day with individual clouds all trys with and automation for that switched much too often. For the balance between car and houses battery charging I calculate a reserve value of Watts depending on the house battery SOC. Further I definded a helper for a 2nd reserve power that can be modified between -3000 and + 3000 in 250W steps.This two reserve values and the house consumption were combined to determin how much PV power is available for car charging. Big advantage of that slider is e.g. if you know that the car is uses some hours during the day the power can be adjusted to use some house battery power that can betopped up after the car left.

    Hi, well done. I appreciate the new migration tool from ZHA, but there is one point that gives me a headache! It concerns the renaming of the IEEE address from the new coordinator during this migration process. In order for the existing Zigbee network to function with the new coordinator, the IEEE address of the new coordinator must be renamed with the same address as the old coordinator... So far everything is ok and the Zigbee network seems working well. What bothers me, is that from then on the 2 Zigbee coordinators have the same IEEE address and this represents a big problem if you want to use the old one in the same Home Assistant instance. A second coordinator must have a different IEEE address and I don't know of any way to change the IEEE address again. This coordinator has actually become unusable for this installation!

    I think it first tries to authenticate you using an existing token. If it does not work, it will go to login to check your credentials and generate new token. So you does not login each time, the browser does not send your username/password/MFA. Server keeps a list of valid tokens in <HA URL>/profile/security. And when you authenticate, the browser and server exchange encrypted messages to validate the token.
