The app is getting better, thanks. I'm going to ditch my PW dashboard which I have to run on a separate pc. Just curious what/how people are using the powerwall automation for.
I'm in a very similar boat the the response above. I'm still pending my PTO, so I cannot export to the grid at any time from the Powerwall, but I can from my solar.
I have the following rules:
@ 10am set reserve to 30% -- This will ensure I don't go below 30% when 4pm comes around (peak for me is 4pm-9pm).
@ 4pm set reserve to 15% -- This will ensure I consume whatever is above 15% and 30 -> 15% will last me 5 hours (so far, I'm only in week 2).
If I could add logic to "Car charging" = YES
@ 9:15pm -
if car charging, set reserve to 90% (pull from the grid, don't drain my batteries)
@
Car Stops Charging (12am - 3am), set reserve to 20% (to consume the battery overnight)
@
Car Starts Charging (4am - 5am) set reserve to 90% (pull from the grid, don't drain my batteries)
@
Car Stops Charging, set reserve to 20% (to consume the battery overnight)
My situation is complicated because I have two EVs. Both share the Tesla Charger. One charges at 9pm (beginning of off peak), and I swap the cable when I go to sleep, so my commuter car is charged up and ready to go by 7:00am the next morning (charge by 7:00am is the setting). Obviously I feel I would be better served with IFTTT as mentioned, but I would rather just keep all of the logic in one place.
Edit: Kudos to
@offandonagain for adding "Pause" as an option to each of the automations. Previously they would have to be deleted if you didn't want them to run. Nice touch.
