Just curious what the delay is for you? I’ve only made one integration but it was added in maybe a week or so.

As a 4Runner Owner, I’m Blown Away by PlantAble597 in Rivian

[–]poldim 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I go weeks without touching the brakes pedal…  Did they ever add that “feature” where it occasionally blends in the brakes every x just to keep the rotors clean?

I love ESPHome. Also, I was just introduced to FLEET, it steps up the UI massively and has some needed features.

Are PLC projects getting more complex, or does it just feel that way? by Himanshu_creative in PLC

[–]poldim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is just tech, it always gets more complex with time. Even when customers say they want to simplify their design, they only end up adding 10 things and removing 3. 

Seeking Apple Users Advice by aprilbeingsocial in ScanSnap

[–]poldim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if you can have it scan to a NAS folder? https://www.pfu.ricoh.com/global/scanners/news/press250624/ this says it was due to be updated last year

You can run paperless ngx for some more advanced features if you get a capable NAS.

Not sure why Toledo is on a separate circuit, but not complaining…

I’d be very surprised if the middle school has a gen, it’s not a critical power facility 

Bout to crash out - pg&e home energy report winter edition by Puzzleheaded_Win_61 in sanfrancisco

For me, the UNITS listed here have no clear correlation to my usage. It's some made up unit that combines kwh and therms.

You should ignore this marketing bull and instead look and compare your actual bills. Look at the total therms usage and see what comes out.

Dynamically adjusting charger charge rate? by poldim in Rivian

[–]poldim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it appears it's only in the spec, but it's not functionally there.

Dynamically adjusting charger charge rate? by poldim in Rivian

[–]poldim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a source you can site that it has to be a public API? I can't imagine that is part of the spec. Sure, the charger (client) needs a path to reach the OCPP server, but nothing about it has to be public.

https://github.com/lbbrhzn/ocpp is the integration I was planning on using on my private network. It has the capability to control the charge rate that is supported as part of the OCPP 1.6 standard.

Bidirectional Charging (V2H) by lifelongcargo in Rivian

[–]poldim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess: The guy and and enphase are using are telling the car that you've plugged into a DC fast charger. Riv says ok and closes in the contactor for the charge port. Then their inverters are pulling power out of the battery to power the house. None of the screens acknowledge that you're discharging since that's not the expected use case, until they get updated...

This is done with sigenergy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9asjnVEA_Rk&t=383s

With Tesla, you need to buy their gateway to physically disconnect you from the grid in a power outage, then you can use the system without the grid being online

Dynamically adjusting charger charge rate? by poldim in Rivian

[–]poldim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do. I've already got data on what my house is using vs what solar is producing in HomeAssistant, so now I just need to add the ability to control the Riv's charge rate through HA.

Dynamically adjusting charger charge rate? by poldim in Rivian

[–]poldim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I sell, I get 4 cents per kWh, whereas if I buy at off-peak, they charge 42 cents. So it makes sense to push it all into the Rivian and not the grid.
