evcc custom charger

[bill340]

Is there any chance to get an evcc custom charger that is used to charge as long as there is a bluetooth connection to the car?

I don't understand ... you mean that the car should considered plugged a long as a ble connection can be establish?

[wimaha]

Using Bluetooth connection status to trigger charging in EVCC isn’t reliable, as it only indicates the Tesla is nearby (~5-10m), not plugged into the TWC3. A better solution is to add a manual “Vehicle Plugged In” toggle to the TeslaBleHttpProxy web interface (http://YOUR_IP:8080/dashboard). This could set a flag in the proxy that EVCC reads via its API to enable charging.

Another solution would be to poll the status when the vehicle is not sleeping and saving it. But it would be a bit of work to implement this. Is this still an issue or a request?

[bill340]

Yes, that would be the perfect solution actually…
Then we could use it in a custom charger.

I used the following setup and it running good for a few days now:

TeslaBleHttpProxy for the vehicle in EVCC
https://github.com/Haveacry/twc3teslamate as the charger in EVCC

It requires you to run TeslaMate (no idea how long it will still work with API calls being charged). The twc3teslamate simulates a TWC3 based on the input from the TeslaMate/Tesla. The TWC3 can be added as a template in EVCC.

This setup will let the car go to sleep properly and it its very responsive.

@kerbje would you mind sharing your configuration? Specifically the vehicles section? Trying to make sure I have got the commands right.
