First of all, I want to thank you for your work on your component for Alpha ESS. Thus far, they have been very useful for building my dashboards.
Anyway, I wanted to use a load balancing integration to charge my EV on excess solar power and/or grid power. I'm tracking dynamic energy prices (hourly or every 15 minutes) and would like to decide when to use grid power to charge my EV. Ideally, I would need the following sensors or parameters. I'm new to Home Assistant, so excuse me if I'm confusing some things.
- Sensor: current delivered by the EV charger (between 6 A and 16 A)
- Output entity: change the current delivered by the EV charger
- Sensor: active phase of the EV charger (1 or 3)
- Output entity: change the active phase of the EV charger
These values can be changed in the Alpha ESS mobile app or the Alpha ESS Cloud web app. However, I haven't found these sensor among the entities of your component. And after investigating, the open api does not seem to have these either. Do you see a way you could add them, or is this a limitation on the side of Alpha ESS?
