How to migrate from TeslaSolarCharger to evSolarCharger?

Support for TeslaSolarCharger is ending. The same functionality and more is in a new project evSolarCharger. New functionality will only be added to evSolarCharger in the future.

Currently, the same charging logic is used for both TeslaSolarCharger and evSolarCharger, except that evSolarCharger can also support OCPP entities. OCPP support is in beta testing.

To migrate from TeslaSolarCharger to evSolarCharger,

  1. Install the evSolarCharger Blueprint.
  2. Reuse existing TeslaSolarCharger helpers, and create following new evSolarCharger helpers, eg.
Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers > Create Helper >

Number or template sensor: MyEV charger effective voltage (for single-phase or 3-phase system)
Number or template sensor: MyEV charger minimum current
Number: MyEV charge limit Monday .. Sunday
Toggle: MyEV adjust charge limit based on weather

The following are existing helpers for TeslaSolarCharger,

Toggle: MyEV set daily charge limit
Toggle: MyEV secondary power source
Number or template sensor: MyEV power offset
Toggle: MyEV stop charging

  1. Select "Tesla Custom API" in the Blueprint and enter the Tesla car name (no need to enter individual entities).

  2. Save the Blueprint.

  3. Turn off the old TeslaSolarCharger Blueprint.
