Introduction

This plugin is designed for Domoticz home automation system and provide a way to get status from Hyunday and Kia cars.

It's based on the hyundai-kia-connect-api python library, written by Fuat Akgun.

In this folder you can find the python plugin for Domoticz: you can install the hardware plugin by using Python Plugin Manager, or typing the following commands from the linux shell:

Installation

#become root user
sudo su -

#install git, if not already installed
which git
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then sudo apt install git; fi

#change to the domoticz directory / plugins
cd /home/pi/domoticz/plugins 

#fetch the Python Plugin Manager (that can be used to install/upgrade other plugins, including domoticz-hyundai-kia)
git clone https://github.com/ycahome/pp-manager

#fetch Creasol Plugin
git clone https://github.com/CreasolTech/domoticz-hyundai-kia

#install hyundai-kia-connect-api lib
pip3 install hyundai-kia-connect-api

#restart Domoticz daemon

Charging the electric car in a smart way

Creasol is developing a cheap and smart DIY EVSE module that can work stand-alone or connected to Domoticz.

Features:

• detects plug connection and disconnection

• detects when the electric vehicle starts and stops charging

• detects alarms from vehicle

• interfaces a bidirectional energy meter to know the real time import or export power from grid

• operates as stand-alone (no need for a domotic controller) with the possibility to select two charging mode:

  1. use the maximum power allowed by electricity meter, preventing overloads and disconnections
  2. use only renewable energy (keep import power around 0W)

• operates in a controlled mode, with Domoticz home automation system: in this case it's possible to

  1. easily set the minimum and maximum battery level
  2. easily set the maximum charging current
  3. when battery level is below minimum, charge at the max power permitted by the electricity meter (in Italy, alternates 90 minutes at maximum power + 27% and 90 minutes at maximum power + 10%, it's not possible to charge faster! The electrical system must be checked carefully when using maximum power, to avoid overheating and fires!!)
  4. when battery level is between minimum and maximum, charge using only power from renewable energy from photovoltaic
