I'm sorry, but did not check the full thread here, so maybe my question was already brought up and hopefully solved.
I have the following question and bit of context
I want my own HA algorithm (based on my P1 grid meter, per phase) to set the charger's actual current — tell it "draw X amps now" and have the car follow — instead of just capping it. Core frustration: at ~2.5–3 A surplus per phase (~2 kW total), the charger charges 1-phase at ~1.4 kW and refuses to scale up, because each phase sits below its 6 A threshold. I want to bundle surplus across phases; the charger insists on deciding per-phase with a hard 6 A floor.
Setup
- Easee Charge Pro, 3-phase, 25 A main fuse, Equalizer installed
- Car: VW ID.4 (charges 1-phase or 3-phase)
- Home Assistant + official Easee integration; P1 smart meter for grid measurement
- Home battery (Solis) also in the mix
What I've tested and what does NOT work
set_circuit_dynamic_limit/set_charger_dynamic_limit(HA service) — writes a ceiling, not a setpoint. Wrote 10 A per phase, allocated stayed 6/6/6, actual current ~5.7 A. Tested clean in both app modes.dynamicChargerCurrentvia direct Easee cloud REST API — same result. Got HTTP 202, the charger's dynamic limit went to 10 A, but actual current stayed ~5.6 A (car at 44% SoC, no interfering automations). Confirmed it's a ceiling, not a setpoint.- Both Equalizer app modes ("Surplus only" and "Limited grid usage") decide per-phase and won't bundle surplus below 6 A/phase.
What Easee support told me REST has no true setpoint by design — dynamicChargerCurrent and dynamicCircuitCurrent are ceilings; the Equalizer + internal load-balancing decide actual draw underneath. They confirmed the surplus logic reads the Equalizer measurement and there's no documented way to inject an external setpoint via REST. Their recommended route for "external system is the authority" is AMQP — a paid, commercially-agreed service.
My question to the community Before I go down the paid AMQP path: has anyone achieved true current setpoint control (or effectively bundled sub-6A surplus across phases) on an Equalizer setup without AMQP? E.g. running HA as the load balancer some other way, a local/MQTT approach, manipulating per-phase circuit current to force behaviour, or any pattern that gets the charger to follow an HA-computed current rather than re-deciding it. Also curious if anyone with a home (non-fleet) setup has actually gotten AMQP access and what it cost.
