Copy contents of custom_components folder to your home-assistant config/custom_components folder or install through HACS. After reboot of Home-Assistant, this integration can be configured through the integration setup UI
- Ensure you have aquired the "Active load balancing" license which enables modbus communication for your EV charger.
- Enable "Active Load Balacing" via the Alfen Service installer application.
Select the "Energy Management System" option in the Active balancing -> Data source field.
SCN is used in a multi charging station situation (parking lots). The SCN fields are not yet fully implemented.
- The power budget functionality is resetting to 0A randomly whenever there isn't a car charging. This is because of a reconnection bug in the Alfen firmware. They fixed this bug in 6.4.0-4210
- Persist the set power budget value across HA restarts
- Update the power budget value before the Alfen charger timer value expires and the charger drops into safe current mode
