0A equal about 690W usage Tesla Gen 3 Wall charger

Hi,

Love this code/project.

But one issue I face is when not enough excess solar power the car use about 690-720W at 0A, guess it how much it is to keep car alive :-)

Could it be possible when it hits 0A to turn of charger switch?

I already mentioned this before.
Turning off the switch would wear out the relay too fast, instead you can do the following:

set the minimum charging amps in the automation to 1. Then it uses only 230w.
When you know there will be no solar energy for a longer period, just turn on the switch “stop charging” and re-enable it when there’s more sun.

That make sense :-) yea but I use minimum of 690W at 1A because it 3 phase
