NRGkick
Smart charging from the plug you already have
Warning! This app might not work properly.
This app version is currently being tested, and has not yet been reviewed. It might not work as expected.
Be extra careful when installing this app.
Control your NRGkick charging cable straight from Homey, over your own network and without the cloud. See at a glance whether the car is connected or charging, how much power it draws and how much energy each charge added, and get told when the NRGkick reports a fault or a raised temperature. Pause or resume charging, set the charging current, an energy limit or the number of phases from the device or from a Flow, and let Homey Energy steer the charging power, for example to charge on solar surplus.
Works with the NRGkick (second generation, WiFi) with SmartModule firmware 4.0.0.0 or newer. Experimental support for the first generation: through the NRGkick Connect module (reading and control), or directly over Bluetooth. The first-generation support is not yet tested on real devices; feedback from owners is welcome. Bluetooth (first generation): limited and untested. It only reads values for now, it cannot control charging yet. Bluetooth has a short range: Homey must be close to the NRGkick, typically within about 10 metres and ideally without walls in between. This is an unofficial app, not affiliated with or endorsed by DiniTech GmbH.

Set the target power W
This also switches the target power mode to Homey. For EV chargers, charging is automatically started or stopped.
NRGkick
Set the target power mode to ...
To control the target power of this device via Homey, select "Homey". Other modes are determined by the device.
NRGkick
Set the charging current to Charging current A
From 6 A up to the maximum of the NRGkick and its attachment. Higher values are capped.
NRGkick
Set the energy limit to Energy limit kWh
The NRGkick stops charging after this amount of energy. 0 removes the limit.
NRGkick
Set the number of phases to Phases
Only works when phase switching is enabled in the NRGkick app. Not every car tolerates phase switching: check first that yours supports it.
NRGkick
Charge Energy kWh and then stop
Starts charging and sets the energy limit, counted on top of what this charge already added.
NRGkick
Raise the charging current by Current A
Stops at the maximum charging current.
NRGkick
Lower the charging current by Current A
Stops at 6 A, the lowest current a car accepts. Pause charging to go lower.
NRGkick
Set the electricity price to Price per kWh
Used for the cost of the charging session from now on. Use it with Homey Energy's price trigger for a dynamic tariff.

What’s new
Version 0.2.0 — Experimental support for the first-generation NRGkick: through the NRGkick Connect module (reading and control), or directly over Bluetooth (limited: reading only, and Homey must be close to the NRGkick). Neither is tested on real devices yet; feedback from owners is welcome.
NRGkick
NRGkick is not compatible with the selected Homey.
NRGkick will install on Homey shortly.
