Hey everyone! I’m new to the Homematic ecosystem and have recently set up a few devices to explore its capabilities. While waiting for my latest order to arrive, I thought I’d dive into a project that’s close to my heart: integrating my KEBA P30c Ladestation into my smart home setup.
I’ve always been interested in optimizing energy usage, especially with my electric vehicle. The KEBA P30c has been a great fit for my charging needs, and I’m excited about its ability to respond to UDP requests and broadcast data during charging. However, I’m still figuring out the best way to leverage this functionality within Homematic.
My goal is to monitor and record the energy consumption of my EV in real-time. This would not only help me track how much energy I’m using but also provide insights into the cost associated with charging. I’d love to visualize this data alongside my household energy consumption to get a clearer picture of my overall energy usage.
I’ve managed to establish basic communication with the Ladestation via UDP, but I’m curious if there’s a more streamlined way to integrate it into Homematic. Has anyone here successfully connected a Ladestation or similar device? I’d love to hear about your experiences, challenges, and solutions.
Additionally, I’m wondering if there are any existing scripts or automations that could simplify this process. For instance, could I set up a rule that logs charging data at specific intervals or triggers notifications when certain thresholds are met?
I’m also considering how this integration could tie into other smart home features, like adjusting my home’s energy usage during off-peak hours to optimize charging costs. It would be fantastic to create a holistic system that manages both my EV charging and household energy consumption seamlessly.
I’m really looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions. Whether you’re an expert in Homematic integrations or have just dipped your toes into similar projects, I’d appreciate any insights you can share! Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Markus
