Just follow the instructions on GitHub - make-all/tuya-local: Local support for Tuya devices in Home Assistant
So if you have the charger added to the Tuya app on your mobile.
Then Tuya local will detect it automatically.
It will search and detect the network IP address, all entities are loaded automatically.
Hello,
The new version now allows to set charge current as low as 6A (previously the minimum was 8A)
This allows me to better follow my solar production, I can now start the charge when there is more than 6A instead of more than 8A
When I set the charge current to 6A, it works, the car charges at 6A.
BUT with the next API call to the charger, the charger reports 8A although it is 6A displayed on the charger screen.
Anyone found a workaround for this ? is it possible to flash a firmware on the charger ?
Can you adjust amps one by one, or is it 10-13-16-20 and so on?
Have you tried it with dynamic load letting HA handle the changes?
Thanks!
Hey,
Do you have a link please for this new version with 6A support?
Thanks 
Hello, what is dynamic load ? I adjust the amps with some automation.
I can adjust 1A at a time, but below 8A, when the API read the value from the charger, it reports 8A but the charger really deliver 6A.
I had to make an helper who round the real amp value for the automation calcs to work
just download the latest (I’m using HACS)
It’s this version: Release 2024.12.2 End of year housekeeping · make-all/tuya-local · GitHub
Thanks.
On Aliexpress i see minimal 8a on the product description.
But with tuya local we can select 6a? It’s a great news but it’s maybe the reason of your problem, no( Display 8 A instead of 6A in HA)?
display on charger screen shows 6A
Ok.
Do you have please a link for the new version?
I see orange and white version. Differents designs etc…
It can go down to 8A in Tuya app, but 6A in Home Assistant. And it can go 1 by 1 without alarms (the issue I had with the one before)
Hi, Eduardo, do you use the ct clamps to adjust the power or can be used just automation on home assistant? Using solar power and shelly em
I use an automation, using the total power read by the Shelly EM and modifying the charging amps, so it’s basically like having a dynamic smart charger
Thanks, Eduardo
Can u please post your automation, i will be very grateful.
Thx
I’ll be uploading a blueprint soon with all the instructions, as it’s a little bit more complicated than a simple automation, but once done it’s very easy to set up (and it’s ready for two different periods)
Here you have it: 🚗 Dynamic EV Charging Automation
thx Eduardo.
You have done a spectacular job, I wouldn’t be able to.
When the intensity is increased there is no problem in making jumps of more than 2 amps but The charger we are talking about in this automation cannot make downward jumps of more than 2 amps. The charger gives me an error because it sometimes jumps from 16 amps to 8 amps.
What car are you charging? Do you have it added on HomeAssistant?
If the issue is with large jumps, it shouldn’t be hard to make the automation go amp by amp. The only thing that would be needed is to check how long does the charger need to be at certain amps before lowering one more.
I have a BYD Dolphin and a Renault Captur PHEV but the problem is not the car, the problem is with the charger.
When the car is charging at 16 amps I can’t suddenly lower it to 8 amps (the charger returns overvoltage error), it has to go two at a time at most from 16 to 14 from 14 to 12 from 12 to 10 and from 10 to 8. My ev charger is that one…https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005005504929776.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.59.5b23194dc0TcQR&gatewayAdapt=glo2esp
I’ve modified the current increase/decrease logic. Now, adjustments are made in 1A increments to avoid charger errors. Changes occur every 8 seconds until the selected power limit is stabilized.
