I currently own a solar iBoost+ which had been working well for about 5 years
I would like to have more control over the BOOST function but the iBoost+ just turns the immersion on at full power
My idea being to use some energy from my battery overnight but my household tickover consumption is between 300 - 500w so plus my 3000w immersion puts me right on the limit of my ac3 inverter output
I’m contemplating buying a Myenergi Eddi to replace my iBoost+ in the hope that I can configure this option (remotely idealy via Home Assistant)
Does anyone know if its possible to select the wattage that the manual boost runs at on the Eddi so I could then set it to turn on for a few hours at 2000w avoiding pulling any power from the grid.
Well I splashed the cash and bought an Eddi, a Harvi and an extra CT clamp and have retired my iBoost.
My Eddi is in the loft next to my HW Tank (like the iBoost was previously)
The Harvi is in my under stair cupboard (ground floor) with a CT on the Grid and the other CT on my Inverter/Battery.
I will need another Harvi and CT to add full monitoring for my solar as its split (House & Garage) which I will probably do, and I’ll probably add the relay board to the Eddi along with 2 temp probes shortly (I do already have temp monitoring for my HW Tank using NodeMCU based sensors linked to Home Assistant).
I’ve limited to power output to 8A so if I run a BOOST during the night it will only pull juice (about 2000w) from the batteries not the grid.
I’ll be playing around with a few settings over the coming weeks to optimise its performance
