EV wallbox charger control incl PV surplus control for Android

(although the screenshots are in German, the app is localized to English now!)

With this app you can switch the charging process of the supported chargers on and off and define the charging current. And with go-eCharger also the desired charge quantity.

You can also choose the energy to charge (if supported by the wallbox) as well as set a timer to start charging.

It is also possible to carry out automatic charge current control for supported photovoltaic systems in order to draw as little charge current as possible from the grid. See below.

A detailed description with instructions etc. can be found at

Please read description to end, it's not much ;)

This is not via the cloud, but a direct access to the wallbox in the local network. Faster than via the cloud, independent of external computers, and faster than using a browser.

Of course, the app also supports access via access points (e.g. if the garage is connected via cable/AP) or VPN.

Currently supported ("Work in Progress" - please feel free to suggest new ones):

* go-eCharger HOME+

* SimpleEVSE-Wifi

* OpenWB

* NRGkick (untested code, beta tester wanted)

It can also optionally log when and which action was performed, with load quantities etc., also a widget for fast access is included.

For charging the photovoltaic system, support is currently being provided (also "Work in Progress" - please contact me if necessary):

* Sonnen Speicher

* Fronius PV (Fronius SmartMeter only)

* Fronius PV (with battery and PV values - only for reasonably up-to-date Fronius software)

* OpenWB (with battery if it is supported there)

* Kostal Smart Energy Meter

* SolarEdge (via Cloud API)

Yes, I know the app is not free, it costs a beer - at least here in Southern Germany. But my working time isn't free either, and Google doesn't allow donations. But it is guaranteed to be free of advertising, espionage and data collection. And: also desires or Wallbox inquiries are in demand!

In case of dissatisfaction I still pay back the money after a few days.
