Electric Car Charging Scene Setup

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience setting up a scene for my electric car charging. It’s been a fun and practical project that has really enhanced my daily routine. I have my charger connected to a Fibaro Wall Plug, and I wanted to receive push notifications on my phone when the charging starts and stops. The charger pulls about 2kw when active, so detecting this was key.

After some research and experimentation, I found that using a smart plug with energy monitoring capabilities was the way to go. I set up a block scene that monitors the energy consumption and triggers notifications based on the detected power usage. This setup has been working perfectly for me, and I love getting real-time updates on my phone.

I’d love to hear how others have managed their electric car charging setups. Have you integrated it with other smart home features? I’m curious to know if there are more efficient or creative ways to handle this. Let’s discuss and share our experiences!

Cheers,
