I have a house with large electric consumer systems:
- Electric radiators + Air conditionner (up to 7kW)
- Electric car charger (up to 7kW)
- Nordic SPA heating (up to 5kW)
- Kitchen appliances (up to 5kW)
- Water heater (up to 3kW)
- Dryer, washer, dishwasher (up to 4kW)
- And of course the rest of the house.
The issue is I only have 9kW available from the grid (I also have a peak 600W solar production but this is negligeable)
I so far have no issue of managing the house through home assistant to ensure that I constantly stay under the grid limit:
- Electric radiators + Air conditionner - Automatic ON/OFF
- Electric car charger - Automatic Reduce the charge (openevse integration)
- Nordic SPA heating (up to 5kW) - Automatic ON/OFF on the 2 heatpump, circulation pump.
- Kitchen appliances (up to 5kW) - Automatic ON/OFF on the main appliance electrical circuit.
- Water boiler (up to 3kW) - Automatic: just heat when it can.
- Dryer, washer, dishwasher (up to 4kW) - Automatic, switch off if lack of electricity.
However this is a bit of spaghetti plate as for automation.
Is there a generic solution existing for this - I suppose - generic problem ?
